Good news: I have my car back! And I can take my hand off the steering wheel and not worry about careening into oncoming traffic! And it passed its inspection, all I need to do is go to court and hopefully get the ticket dismissed.
Bad news: There is absolutely no way I can make it to Austin Sunday to see Kyle (of The Kyle Sowashes) and
toomuchsoy (of Omega Monster Patrol) because I absolutely can't afford it. I blame peak oil and global diplomacy (or the lack thereof).
