It's the Little Victories that Count

About a month ago - I got a ticket. Not a speeding ticket - or anything of that nature. I was surprised with an Expired Validation ticket. Yes - my tags where out of date - by 2 months. But - I'd already paid my registration fees - but had overlooked that this year - I was required to get a Smog Check. Through a process that took entirely too long - namely - a letter from the DMV telling me that I needed to PASS a Smog Check - and then my tags would be sent to me.

So I go to check my car Smogged one day. I wait about 15 min at a Unical 76 - with my car in their shop. Then the guy comes out and tells me that their machine is broken - and it won't be fixed until the next day. Great. Ok - so I go to another spot that's somewhat close to my apartment. Their Smog Technician is on lunch break. So - I didn't get a Smog Check this day.

A few weeks go buy - and my Wedding was fast approaching - so I was pre-occupied with that - as well as getting ready for my Honeymoon. When - low and behold - I have a ticket waiting for me. $50. Not a lot - but more than I really wanted to pay.

I followed the steps outlined to Contest the Ticket - and I won. Just got the letter today. Needless to say - I did a little jig and gave myself a pat on the back.

Fight the Power!
