doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
The Saga of the Car finally appears to be at a close.
At first, I felt like it was my fault, and I was willing to accept the consequences.
That was before I:
1- Discovered my car missing.
2- Called the police to find out it had been towed.
3- Went to the DMV to find out what I needed.
4- Went to get my phone and title from the tow yard.
5- Went to Police department to obtain property release.
6- Returned to impound to retrieve cellphone- Title MIA.
7- Waited to receive copy of title from Alabama.
8- Returned to DMV to obtain temporary registration ($325).
Normally efficient DMV takes ungodly long thanks to the bitch I dealt with.
9- Return to police station to obtain Vehicle Release Form.
I am 5 minutes too late, it's Friday, and I leave for San Francisco in the morning.
10- One week later, I return to the Police,
only to be denied again because my CA license is not a license, but a permit (?!)
11- Return to DMV to cancel my motorcycle permit so my car license is valid(???!!!)
12- Return to Police and obtain Release Form.
13- Return to impound with all paperwork, paid fees, reunited with car ($706!!!!!!).
14- Took car to get a smog inspection. It actually passed! ($60)
15- Return to DMV to obtain license plates.
Wait in line only to be told I am missing an inspection(?!!?!)
16- Get DMV inspection.
17- Return to counter and claim my precious, tear-soaked license plates.
18- Install new license plates.
19- Pay expired registration ticket ($50).
20- Collapse, a drained and broken husk of my former self.
So... two weeks and $1141 later, this situation has been fixed,
and I have long since lost any remorse I felt for my "crime".
This is bordering on Cruel and Unusual Punishment.
It's not this much effort to deal with a frikkin' DUI!!!
FUCK THE LAPD!!!
FUCK THE DMV!!!
FUCK BRUFFY'S TOW!!!
and most of all...
FUCK ALL THE BAD ROLLS OF THE DICE I HAD TO GET FOR ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN!!!
