The most logical and rational advice, indeed. I won't argue with yourself and Repug on that being the most intelligent, reasonable choice, solving the problem and appeasing all parties. All parties, of course, except me, which, if I dare say so, seem to be the most invested individual in this little scheme.
The fates have seen to it that I have
no access at all to the required $650 for "release" (lol) , and today or the next day, at some point it will be towed, impounded, and then I will be subsequently charged storage and other fees that I don't intend on paying.
Guys, I'm done with this truck. It was a bad buy, a bad loan, I was in a bad place and learned my mistakes. I can't afford payments, nor the full-coverage insurance that is required while it is still on lien.
And that's the important part. It's still on lien. After I remove this boot, which IS happening, just for a life fucking story at this point and because you guys keep telling me not to do it :P
After my freedom is restored, I'm going to call my bank and just be honest with them. I can't afford payments, and basically request that it be repossessed. I'm not quite sure if that's possible or whatever, but hey, I'm going to find out. If not, I'm sure they have some deferment or payment plan, which would temporarily solve the problem, but I just kind of want a fresh start. I want this truck to be out of my life.
Now, you might be saying "Blonde, if you want it out of your life so bad, why not just let the Boot guys tow it when the time comes?"
And the reason is that the truck does not belong to me. The title belongs to a bank back in Arizona, who has been rather kind with me, and if it gets impounded with no intent of paying back tickets, it will likely stay impounded, creating a lot of drama on all sides.
I've thought about this a lot. I'm not going to pay $650 in parking tickets. When I buy a new vehicle (cash), next time, the registration may "flag" me and tell me I have all these parking tickets i gotta pay off first. Maybe not, not sure if it just goes by plates.
If the bank allows the car to be repossessed, I am going to plan a short 1-2 day road trip down to AZ to return it to the bank to be repo'd and sold, visit my family and friends for a short time, and then fly or take a bus home.
Significantly freer than I was before.
Don't worry about me guys, seriously. I appreciate your ongoing concern for me, and I mean that to all of you, and I might seem batshit crazy at times, and indeed I am, but that doesnt' mean I don't think shit through. How awesome of a story is this going to be someday? Someday, a buddy of yours is going to get booted and you're going to remember this tale.
I've never even used and angle-grinder so this is going to be really fun..
Peace, truth, and <3,
