Trying to save money we waited til the last month to register my truck, Chuck, here in Texas. We got the title and all the forms from my dad (registering and transferring an out of state car takes a lot of work). After an easy inspection and getting a notary signature on our half of the affidavit we gathered all our forms and went downtown to the County Office. After waiting in line they notice that we have the wrong VIN number on the affidavit form that my dad filled out and got notarized. (That happens when you have 3 Ford trucks with pretty similar VIN numbers) So the lady regretfully informed us, as she handed us a new form, that we'd have to send it back to my dad in California and get him to fill out a new form, sign it, get it notarized and send it back to us, hen we'd re-do our half, then we could drive back downtown and get it done.
So that left us with two options, 1. do as she said or 2. take a chance and let Dave work his magic. We chose the second. When we left the County Office the VIN number on the forms ended in 14593KL26. Five minutes later, with my dad's permission and Dave's skills, I re-entered alone with the correct ending, 14545KE18, on the same form. I was praying that I didn't get the same lady! It all worked out and our Chuck is now registered as a Texas truck.
Having second thoughts |
Dave is so good at innocently rubbing things in when he has a realization. He's helping me change the plates and kept making comments like "you're like completely Texaned now and completely Rodericked" and "You've like completely given yourself to me in every way"
I'm a Roderick and a Texan now |
oh Lisa... who would have thought we would switch native states??
ReplyDeleteyeeeeeee-haw!
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow Californian, Lisa I totally understand your dismay. Even though Texas seems to be treating you well, you won't ever forget where your roots come from. :)
