Trying to register my darned car.....***VENT WARNING***

[boingo82]

Ok....here is why I am in such a pissy mood tonight.

Today I went and tried to register my new car for the THIRD time.

The first time I showed up they explained to me that I had to wait for Towbin Infiniti (who sliced up my tint when they cut the stickers off the window, BTW. Bastards! ) to send the title down and I should check back in two weeks.
So, I called up Towbin and they informed me that I had to come back and sign some more papers. This was the THIRD TIME in a WEEK I had been to Vegas and it's the most GOD-AWFUL drive in the whole country because it's windy and desolate and there's no scenery whatsoever and it's 2 hrs each way.

So I go back and sign some more papers and drive back to St. George and a few days later try to register the car. This time they tell me that not only is the title not there, but Towbin's safety inspection doesn't count and I have to get it independently inspected.

So my temp tag expired yesterday, and this morning I went and got the car inspected and took it down to register. I'll word this as a play, with the part of the bitchy, bad-haired USTCVRC lady called BBUL.

Me: I'd like to register my car. It's a 1994 Infiniti G20. Here are the papers.

BBUL: (Bitchily) You can't register without the title. Do you have the title?

Me: I bought it in Vegas. They were going to send that here.

BBUL: Well, did you get a phone call or a letter from us SAYING it was here? It's probably not here.

Me: I didn't yet. Do you think you could check for it?

BBUL: (Grunts) FINE

I wait. BBUL goes into the back and "checks" for the title. 30 seconds later BBUL returns.

BBUL: (snippily) We don't have it. You're going to have to come back.

Me: My temp tags expired yesterday. You're sure it's not here?

BBUL: LOOK, it's NOT back there. Call UP your dealership, and you MAKE them send it OVERNIGHT. NEXXXXTTTT!!!

Oh, and keep in mind that each time I went to reg. my car I had to stand in line for a good 45 mins-2 hours.

I walk out, peeved, and call Towbin. Chuck tells me to speak to finance, who's not there yet. I go home and eat, and then I check the mail. Guess what's in it? The badges that WinterG20 sent me. Thank you WinterG20. Guess what else?? A letter from the local Utah State Tax Commission's Department of Motor Vehicle Registration notifying me that they had my title.

That's right. That stupid bitch lied to me. She could have registered my vehicle right then and there but instead she faked looking for the title. It KILLS me that I'm trying to pay them TWO WHOLE WEEKS of my salary (which they've already taxed to hell) just to make my stupid car legal. If I was trying to get two weeks of YOUR salary I would kiss your ass royally, but these people can be as big of jerks as they want and I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

This is especially bad because in St. George right now there is a Nazi freak who goes around shooting paintballs at cars without plates because he is convinced the government is "surveillancing" him. He shot my friend's brand new Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer, luckily only hit the window. He says he's switching to real bullets soon. He did get put in jail for a while but I think he's out again.

I'll be surprised if anyone's still reading right now. This is probably the longest post in the history of the forums.

If I ever have my OWN government it's gonna have rules just like disneyland. If the employees aren't cheerful EVERY second, they're fired. And they all have to dress like Goofy.

Blah, sucks for you.. I live right by Towbin

Well I probably drove by your place 5 times last month...they are pretty nice guys but I'm pissed about my tint---there are two big paper-shaped rectangles scratched in. Grrrrrr. Say hi to Bart and Chuck for me.

That sucks!!

Write a letter to the boss down there explaining exactly what went on. Hopefully BBUL will get an attitude tune-up.

So, today I went down and got a nice lady who thought it was funny when I thanked her profusely for letting me register. I also thanked her when she said it costed $567.47 to register. I had been planning for $700, to be safe and now I have several hundred dollars to spend on Cd changer, tint, etc.

You should know that my car had been registered in Las Vegas its whole life. According to carfax, it had never been out of the city. So, the license plate I got was most appropriate: 777 WAV. Lucky Sevens! Awesome, huh? And this was just by random chance, which was sweet. When I turn 21 this will be my lucky gamblin' car for sure.

I am so GLAD that I'm done with this whole stupid mess...until 12 months go by....
