Sometimes, I feel like I'm negotiating a contract with the fellow on the left. DCD asks me a lot of questions that he should be able to answer by himself, such as computing Connecticut's tax on the car which he will soon be registering.
The other day, I met for DCD for a bite to eat, and I was ready to sign the bill of sale and the title, so that he could take these forms, plus the release of lien, and get the car registered in his name. He wasn't ready to do that, as he still had to schedule an in-person visit to Connecticut DMV to get the car registered and get the plates for the car. Hopefully, we'll be able to take care of this soon.

Right now, the old car is sitting in an assigned parking spot, waiting for DCD to drive it away. I want it gone by the end of the month, as I don't want a car I can't drive sitting in my driveway as long as my old PT Cruiser sat after its transmission failed. Although I gave away that car 10 years ago, it never got on the road again. The new owner planned to get the car fixed and never did, as he passed away before he had the chance to do so.
I'm lucky to have two parking spots I can use, as one spot blocks in the car in front of it when two cars are parked in these spots. This is not much of an issue for a married couple, as they would be able to move a car so that the blocked-in car could get out. But it wouldn't work if the two cars were owned by non-relatives. Yet, if I could find a Cheap, Low-Mileage, Well-Maintained 2 seat gas fueled Smart car, I might buy it - if only to be able to visit RQS and have a good chance of finding a parking spot quickly.

If this deal with DCD falls through, I might put my old car back on the road again, just to have something cheap to drive to RQS's place. Hopefully, this won't happen.....
