Tagging the car

So, today, on my lunch break, I decided to drive back across town to the tag agent near my house to pay the tag, title and tax on my new car. The dealership finally came though and sent me the paperwork and the check I needed on Friday.

So, I set out at 12:00 to drop through the bank and then run my errand.

I sat in line at the drive through bank for nearly 30 minutes. There were only two cars in front of me. I have no idea what they were doing, but it took fucking forever.

So, an hour later I got to the tag agency and signed in. I then sat and waited my turn, not very patiently. I HATE waiting in lines.

But when it's my turn, I get a surprise. Apparently my total was like $30 less than what I thought it was going to be. So, after I signed over the check from the dealership, I only owed them $2.50. I got my tag and went along my merry way.

I was very happy about the whole thing.

Then I got a call about 2:30 from the girl who had helped me. Apparently she calculated the excise tax incorrectly and I did, in fact, still owe them another $30.

So, after work I dropped off a check for the rest of the amount.

I really didn't want to pay it, but the Oklahoma Tax Commission are fuckers and they will come after you for a penny if they think you owe them.

Oh well. At least my car is now legally tagged. I don't have to worry about it for another year now.
