So, this is the deal

I bought the Neon on June 15th. While working out the papers for the car, one number was wrong in typing out the VIN number of the Mustang and it turned the Mustang into a 2001 Ford Truck. Apparently, in the database of Ford VIN numbers, that number is the same shared on a Ford truck. Once caught & corrected, the papers showed that I was trading in a Ford Mustang, not a Ford Ranger. One would think this is a good thing, right? Well...


Dad's 2000 Ford Ranger @ Padre Island

My dad has a Ford Ranger. The papers that were submitted to the insurance agency were probably the same ones that said to remove the Ford truck from the policy and not the Mustang. Well, when it was all changed & said & done, we got this interesting letter from the bank we have the truck financed through. It politely says that we need to bring them back proof that the truck is being insured & if not proven, then the depths of Hell will open up and swallow our truck to the minions of bureaucratic policies.

Fuck you people! We have owned the truck since 2002, and in the three years we have owned it, there have been no issues about insurance with it. When we bought the fucker we changed insurance on it, so it's been covered since 2002. Why they don't have anything on record isn't our fault. Possibly following the breakdown in the chain of information might lead them to the problem, cause it ain't us...

OH man, it seems like where ever in the world you are, and it really doesn't matter where, there will always be some kind of (caution - swearing ahead) beaurocratic CRAP! That one has to deal with. I've had a problem with one banking institution, and no matter how many times I write, call etc to close this one account - they always say it's done, and then it isn't, and I get billed another month's bank charges - it never ends!!
