It's possible, done frequently but entirely illegal. If you buy and sell a car in California with the intention to earn a profit - you need a dealer license.

Here's the exact law from the California DMV:

It is unlawful for:

• any person to act as a dealer, distributor, manufacturer, remanufacturer,

transporter, or any of its branches without having first obtained a license or

temporary permit issued by the department.

• any lessor-retailer to make a retail sale of a vehicle subject to registration,

without first having a vehicle dealer license, a lessor-retailer license, or a

temporary permit issued by the department.

In most countries all public roads are 'owned' by the government and if that is the case then repairs to that road are the responsibility of the government (paid for out of taxes). However some roads in private estates are deemed to be private roads (they have not been adopted by the government). In this case repairs to and maintenance of the road is usually the responsibility of the resident using the road. Also on private roads the national 'Rules of the road' would not be enforceable by the police/state.
