Not too much progress, alas. Mostly cause it ended up working out better if I picked up the car later in the afternoon rather than earlier, so I went home for lunch. But! I do have plates, and a registration and they're gonna send me a new title and errthangs. I'm feeling oddly grown up. Arrrgh. It's starting to hit me, the whole I-have-a-car thing. I'm really hoping I can keep this thing alive and in one piece for a long ass while. I'm hoping the tiny picture of Mom I had framed expressly for this purpose will sorta help inspire me to do that. I figure I was her lucky copilot for so many damn years, she can return the favor now.
My roommate and I had a hilarious discussion about vanity plates - except in this case, she meant screwing a dinner plate to the front of the car with the letters and the state on it in puffy paint. It should say something about my personality that this soundted like a hilarious idea for at least three minutes before the part of me that knows that would be illegal as all get out kicked in. But hey, I wouldn't have to wait four months for that sort of vanity plate.
Also, the RMV? not so big on the personal information security.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cell23's registration had gone astray in the mail, and after I was done with the SQUEENEWCAROMG paperwork, I asked where it might have gotten itself to. I was hardly expecting them to take a look in the compy, be all like "...huh, okay" and pretty much hand me his as well as mine with barely a by your leave. All righty then. Goddamn, I'm glad I'm not actually a stalker.
anyway, I'll be off again in a few minutes. Looks like I'll be setting out to get Hanzo-san inspected tomorrow instead of today, and then if all goes well, I'll be heading up to the Peace Pagoda as planned.
