Petitioner does not explain the discrepancies.
Second, WFIC is listed as the purchaser of the Buick on the
purchase contract, but Mary is listed as the purchaser on the

Transportation Motor Vehicles Division. Mary either signed or
filled out each official document filed with the Motor Vehicles
Division. A draft registration application is included in the
record listing WFIC as the car’s owner, but it is noted “12/3
changed to Mary Jondahl”.
Third, the Buick was issued personalized license plates
reading “PURRFCT”. Fourth, a 1991 Ford Probe, titled in Mary’s
name, was traded in and $10,100 was credited to the purchase of
the Buick. Lastly, petitioner and Mary filled out and signed two

wife, not WFIC, were the true owners of the Buick. The record
