We were about to have the time of life, when we got word that KC’s and Jonathan’s cars were towed by the police. Despite a “non-operational permit” from the DMV which allowed us not to register it, and permission from the immediate neighbors, the officer cited us for having a non-registered vehicle parked on city streets.
Despite the pleadings of our dear neighbor, Helena, the cop had the cars impounded. After numerous calls to any one we could think of, and lots of help from Andy, we came to the conclusion we could do NOTHING but pay up when we get back, in excess of one thousand dollars. So much for the spirit of Thanksgiving and for our Christmas budget! grrrrr
Post Script: $1300, plus smogging, and registering them. Don’t get towed.

isn’t the moral of the story: Sell your old, not worth much cars before you move away for 2 years?
It was a bummer and a headache. That is for sure.
It was a shame this happened, but I didn’t see a damper on Thanksgiving….and you already said no gifts….unless you were planning on going away for Christmas somewhere….:-)
Both our cars are in good shape and are worth some money! Moral of the story is pay for the registration, or have the mustang go to it’s owner and park them in the garage.
we appreciate everyones help, no one is to blame.
haha. “in good shape and are worth some money”
I dont know much about jonathans car, but your car is neither in good shape, nor worth any money.
