The hardest part of vehicle ownership is finally done. Showing up in person to transfer the title & plates. $210.50 in fees. Well, because I was a dummy & reported what was actually paid caused $188.50 in taxes...
Ahead of me at the title window was some woman helping her father? deal with what seemed like a fleet of stuff & trailers. And then an older couple came in & left while the other 2 were still going on when I realized there was a 2ND DAMN WINDOW.They do notarize titles if you're a seller but the clerk refused to notarize mine because - I DIDN'T KNOW THE ADDRESS OF THE BUYER. Why is it anyone else can get a seller transfer notarized without a buyer but the moment I need that done the universe says "Yeah, screw that, especially YOU!"
And for some reason they didn't have the color of the van on the title? I guess that's a new thing now.
Next I need to clean out what I want to keep - someone help me pull the driver's side door panel off for the coins inside! - and then set a time for McDole Towing to come get the blue bumb. When I turned it on to get the mileage, the Check Engine light was now flashing. Yep, can't get this out of here soon enough.
