So check out this nonsense:

I own 4 cars. Yes, it’s nonsensical. No, I don’t need 4 cars. No, I don’t even WANT 4 cars. Am I supposed to be spelling out “4″? Whatever.

I am trying to sell 2 of the cars, and not really having much luck, which is ruining my life since I pay $950/month for these two cars. The third I couldn’t give away if I wanted, and besides, it has sentimental value and gets great gas mileage. Plus, it’s all paid off.

The fourth is the car I use everyday.

I live in an apartment complex with a very healthy dose of open parking spaces, and I’ve been here 3 years with nary a complaint about my cars.

Well, tonight I get home from work at around 2am, only to find towing notices on THREE of my cars. The tow date? Today at 6am.

So I’ve spent the last couple hours scrambling around, trying to find parking spaces for the three cars somewhere within walking distance — no easy feat considering the nearest residential street is a couple blocks away, and finding a parking space at 3am means I have to push out my search distance by a few additional blocks.

Why were the cars supposed to be towed? Let’s see, one for “non-operability”, which is untrue, as evidenced by the fact that I got in the car and drove it away (but would I have time to argue that with the apartment manager before 6:30 in the morning? Short answer: No).

Another for expired registration, due in August. This WOULD have been paid except for the fact that one of my cars got towed TWO WEEKS ago and I had to pay $300 to get it out — thus leaving me with no money to pay the $300 registration for the car in question. I’ll try to scrape together the cash and pay it today (during business hours), so hopefully that will be a non-issue soon enough.

The last is for expired registration, due in April. This is the car that was towed two weeks ago. Granted, this was probably deserved as the registration appears to be well overdue. HowEVER, this registration has actually been paid (to the tune of $235). I can’t receive the sticker, however, until the insurance is verified, and I have been going through all sorts of hell with my insurance company over the past couple weeks since they seem to have completely erased any existence of the policy I had with them that covered this car. This car is a pain in my ass as I really want to sell it but have to straighten out the registration issues before I go trying to transfer the title.

So. I’m tired. I probably walked a good couple miles between 2am and 4am after dropping off the three cars in various places. And I have to go traipse around the neighborhood tomorrow, picking them back up. I just hope that the apartment complex will leave them alone once they’re back. (I’m not bringing back the one with the April reg sticker.) (And no, I’m not going to explain things to the office because the office manager is a bitch from hell and her main goal in life is to stomp on humanity with her managerial combat boots — she shuns rational conversation with a zealous fanaticism that is really horrifying to witness.)

That’s about all I have to say for now.
