a little nastygram

Since the inception of this blog, it has contained a fair bit of consumer protection nastygrams.

This wasn't really suitable for Creepy Uncle Mark, so here is my (physical) letter today to California DMV:


Re: License plate # ********
VIN # *****************
20** Subaru *******

To whom it may concern:

I DO NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE ANY MORE. I do not possess it, I do not drive it, I do not know or care if it is physically present in the State of California. It could be crushed in an auto yard, or it could be in Antarctica, for all I know. The people who purchased it, shift.com, should have already registered it. I have asked them to do so.

I will not send evidence of liability insurance for this vehicle pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 4000.38, because I do not have such proof: I do not insure this vehicle any more, and I never, ever, will again. Please, pretty please, sugar on top, stop asking.

As far as I care, you can keep this vehicle registration suspended forever, and ever, and ever, and ever. Send the registration suspension notices to the moon. Shred them. Put them in a box under your desk. Make paper airplanes, or origami cranes from them. Please just stop sending them to me. I don't need or want to see them.

I personally apologize to whatever human being has to read this extremely frustrated letter, and I'm sorry that the last one was ignored, unless it was you that ignored it. I'm sorry that you work for a governmental agency that sucks and ignores prior contacts and has ridiculous websites that aren't useful. But please, for reals: can you make your system stop sending obnoxious threatening letters about a vehicle I no longer own? Please?

Thanks.
