Well, there is news at the Murphy's (you're shocked, I know). Nathan has been planning on selling his car to a friend from cadets, Walter, who was planning on workthing through the summer to afford buying the car and the insurance. Nathan was going to cancel his insurance while he was at Quadra for the summer and just store the car at our house and then sell it to his friend when he returned. It was all good....
Until we took it yesterday to AirCare. We did it yesterday because it still had insurance on it, and once you get your AirCare certificate, it's good for a year. Well, it didn't pass. Without an AirCare certificate, you can't license or insure the vehichle. Unless you fix it. But really, how much money do you want to pour into a $1000 1993 Nissan?
That's when Providence took over. Nathan's friend, Tiffany, who he met while working in the Quadra Boatshed last year, was over visiting friends and had spent a lot of time with Nathan. He drove lots because he was the one with a car. She mentioned to him how much she'd like to buy his car, but of course it was already promised to Walter. Well, Tiffany lives on the Island, where there is no AirCare requirement! So, within 30 minutes of Nathan's car failing AirCare, he had another buyer on the line who wanted to buy his car. Phew! It could have been such a not good situation.
Nathan went to pick up Tiffany, and we all went down to the licensing/insurance place together. By 4:00 yesterday, Nathan is no longer a car owner, and Tiffany was over the moon at having such a great deal fall in her lap.
Our driveway is looking less and less like a used car lot. And I like it that way!
