[Silly Little Cars] Silly_little_cars Digest, Vol 44, Issue 2

Mon Jan 10 14:17:49 PST 2011

I just bought a 2002 Go-4.  Longest trip so far is about 120 miles.

I got insurance online through Geico.   $151 for $250,000 medical per
person, maximum $500,000.   No much else.  I have my own medical insurance
and can't take passengers.

Seems reasonable to me.

No problems licensing, though they took a couple of days to get the right
answer due to state budget cuts.   I had to get an assessment of value from
a car dealer.   The dealer just said write what you want and I will sign it.
  I am a liberal, so can't complain about taxes, so I didn't lie! ;-)
