I am just hemorrhaging money right now. The van has become a bottomless pit of repairs and governmental fees. I was unaware of the thirty day rule on title transfer and thus just spent 247 dollars to get Missouri plates on my formerly Minnesotan van – two hundred in penalties. The only good news that I have on the car front is that I am trading my sister vehicles for the weekend so Jes and I can get Jetta mileage and safety on the roundtrip to Wisconsin. She gets around thirty MPG compared to my seventeen, so that will save me at least seventy five dollars on the cost of this trip. Blah – must go – I have papers to grade.
