Sigh of relief
D.C. Car Inspection/repairs: $300 (and three hours)
D.C. Car Registration/fees for expired tags: $300 (and two hours)
D.C. License: $40 (and two hours)
Surviving two trips to the mechanic, four trips to the DMV, two surly employees and three wonderful ones, 20 phone calls to various people who could make this happen: Priceless, as now — today! finally! — my car is legal and registered and titled and happy and snug in her newfound anonymity (as I gave up the vanity plates. *sniffle*).
Moreover, starting life over from scratch: Brilliant.
