HEY NOW I HAVE A CAR and I am almost mobile again. Whew. Made it.
Thank you to the kind, pay-it-forward souls who've assisted me these past 15 months.
And mahalo to the magic.
Without belaboring the story, it was a long, LONG (did I mention long?) year-plus up a mountain road with no car, no phone and humble freelance-writer income. I love living in the enchanted forest, but it is more than inconvenient to be here sans wheels.
The rare friends who have visited me will surely attest to that.
So, here's the deal:
The little red dream bug needs a few fuses and switches replaced. Need low beam headlamps. A new remote for the key. An oil change and tune-up. Tires sorta soon.
The fuses, I can do. If I can finagle a Swiss Army knife to take the face plates off, I may be able to replace the failed A/C and fan switches and a couple other smallish albeit crucial tasks myself. Other than these few things, the car is everything I wished for.
Car is 100% paid for EXCEPT for paperwork. Car is insured. Car is
freshly smogged. Car is adorable and beloved!! Need to transfer title
and come up with THE TAX which is $$$$.
(If it pays for roadside
rest stops, good. Glad to pay.)
Obtaining a new CA license may be a costly frustration, due to my expired Colorado license and post-divorce name change hassles. The DMV is heartless and ridiculously expensive.
I have some bucks saved toward the CAR THING, but not quite enough to get me safe and street legal. I know you guys want to see me. Right? Dinky donations from even some of you will make it happen.
I have a DMV appointment on April 27, at which time this micro-funder will finish. Only trying to raise $500.
Thanks, guys.
Your friend,
Kaanii
PS: Leroy sends his regards.
