Registration!

I finally got the 944 registered today went to the DMV with an appointment, and while it didn't take very long to register the 944, the woman behind the counter double-charged me for registering the 67 vert.



It was non-op last year, and I handed her the slip for the new year and said 'let's take care of this one too while I'm here'... and ran the credit card thing, and I looked at it and said why is it so much? and she said you have to push the button or it won't go through!, so I pushed the button to save her extra work.Then, she printed out the reciept for the 67 vert, and she charged me for the last week and a half of this non-op year! I asked her why and she said well I assumed you wanted to run it today, and I said why would I wait almost a year, and then pay for the whole thing a week before it was renewed. and she said "that's just assumed" and I said, no it's not, you should ASK.

And guess what that best part is, you have to MAIL in a request for a refund. Next time I'll be going to AAA to do my DMV work.

SF Cadillac mailing list group meet & oil change


We had our annual meet at the San Pablo Reservoir today, I arrived late because when I checked the oil in the '67 eldo before I left the house, it was really low and overdue for a change. So instead of wasting oil topping it off only to change it, I changed it before the meet.
