Remember the beginning of the pandemic? I posted this in April of last year:
The Jetta has been a PAIN IN THE ASS. It runs fine, but trying to get the freakin transfer to happen has been absurd. First the pandemic shut down DMV. Then there were all these hassles about trying to do it online and by phone. Then there were trips to DMV where the unvaxxed masses were trying to catch up on the backlog caused by the pandemic.
We got a 'move it' ticket on the Jetta. The registration sticker had expired and we got busted. Then Darth got rifled and they took my registration. So I got new registration, which cost me like $75 (if memory serves - the true number is buried here in the forum somewhere) but we also got a new sticker so we put that on the Jetta.
Finally today after much tribulation, Stacy got it. The Jetta is almost officially ours. The pink slip is in the mail.
I've dubbed it the Funk mobile (Funk was the last name our neighbor who gave it to us). It needs new headlights. And a serious cleaning. We're waiting for that pink slip first. But it runs well. It's got good pick up. And a cassette player.
We now have three cars. Darth, Phoebe (which we got back from Tara) and the Funk Mobile. We even got a rebate on insurance too (Tara's insurance was higher being a student and using it to commute - we won't use it for anything).
We have another friend who says they might give us their car. WTH? We went from just Darth to three cars.
Yuki needs to learn how to drive.

It's a black 2003 Jetta, stick shift, beat to hell, but it still runs okay. The back window is jammed half open which sucks. I just tried to jimmy it back but no luck. It's got one of those switchblade keys, just one, and the RC key doesn't work so it's like an old skool key. Kinda funky but you don't look a gift jetta in the mouth, right? It'll be fine for driving around town.
