Essentially I owned a 1991 integra, blue, and some lady smashed into my parked car the night before my Anatomy final. Car totaled, farmers dragged their asses with the dmv and refused to send them proof of correction so I could handle the tickets (all three tickets are for expired tags, I had financial problems and then, when I actually had money, I no longer had the car, farmer's took possession)
I even tried submitting all the documentation I have showing farmers bought the vehicle from me as proof of correction and the judge cared not.
As much as it sounds like I am, I am NOT complaining right now. The adult probation dept actually denied my petition and strangely moved to have it taken off calendar. They went so far as to not send the judge docs stating I had served them (I did in person, as I did the district attorney) and that alone almost derailed my court appearance. I had to sit in court 30 minutes while they called probation and determined I was telling the truth.
The judge dished out the biggest blessing ever in granting me a stay of 90 days to put together the $1800 to pay the dmv, show probation, go to court, get disposition for an old (1998) case changed from guilty to dismissed. The navy will be pleased, I can move forward (though I have some opportunities I am working on which probably greatly overshadow what the navy has to offer me, first solid anything with decent guaranteed money I am taking and never looking back)
I have declared war on my poverty stricken lifestyle, I can take it no longer. Don't call me greedy, I am no such thing, but I just can not lie down and accept being broke destitute and exploited more often than not.
