I Just noticed that I really need a reason for starting a blog. Well, the truth of the matter is that I was forced into it, by some almost nameless people.
Ben and
Beth YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
First Post.
I don’t plan on making this a ranting blog, but I don’t know where else to turn my frustration.
Here goes.
I began my day cheerfully and happily. I had some errands to go on, as I approached my truck I noticed a nice yellow envelope on the windshield. The officer informed me that I had expired license plates and a missing front plate. I was hoping for a warning, but I don’t think the police man was having a very good day. He had given me 2 tickets. #1. Expired License Plates. #2. Missing Front Plate. I took my tickets, and decided that I would just go and make it right, right away. I headed down to the Vehicle Infractions Bureau, and promptly was told, that no matter the reason, I had no excuse for what I did, so I paid the tickets. I thought that I should have received something in the mail that told me to renew my plates, so I proceeded down to the DMV (department of motor vehicles). I explained my situation, and they informed me that there was no record of my license plates, VIN (vehicle identification number), or the truck in their computer. I produced my registration, and to their surprise, yes indeed, the car was previously registered in Colorado. So, they started looking around and found that the VIN was transferred to Wyoming, and that I would need to get a title search in that state, to prove that I didn’t try to re-register my truck there. So, that’s where I stand. I’m so frustrated but what can I do? I suppose that I could try going to the DMV and yelling till I turn blue, but I don’t know if I want to have an arrest on my record forever.. YEAH! I love the DMV! (yes, I’m being sarcastic) I have spent almost 5 hours working this problem out, but I don’t see it coming to a close anytime soon.
There are, however, some positives to this situation!
#1. I now know that the DMV doesn’t have to send you anything to remind you to renew your registration.
#2. NEVER pay your tickets too quickly.
#3. I will now have another license plate for my “Wall of License Plates” (cars I have owned)
#4. I know that I shouldn’t own a car.. (Much less 3)
#5. God is always in control.
