Mourning The Loss

Today I finally registered our car in the state of Tennessee. It has taken at least the last month to get to this point. There have been people that did not believe me when I showed them what my title looked like (Heaven forbid not everything is EXACTLY the same and the US of A does it)... there have been people who have asked if Canada was overseas....and when I finally got the title (because they did not believe what I had was the title- refer to above) they wondered if it would be in Spanish, not to mention those people that told me I had to drive to the boarder to import the car. Hello Detroit!

Well...eventually I found people that could help me- or at least lead me to people that could. Thank you Mike at Sunrise Chevy, the very nice import specialist at the Memphis Port of Entry and the nice lady at the G'town DMV.

I took off the Alberta plate this morning and screwed on the Tennessee plate. It's sad. I never wanted to get to this point, but to my credit I have made it 5 years in the US with Alberta plates and have never been pulled over and questioned. Not bad. On my way to the DMV (again) this morning I was driving behind someone with an Ontario plate. May he have the same good luck I did.

Bye bye Alberta....
