chapter 8

That night I did not have time to go to the bank in person in order to fill paperwork that would prevent TD meloche from taking anymore money out of my account by “mistake”. I instead made it a point to drop by my local branch the next night, Friday after work. Instead I finally went to pick up la bête from the body shop and drove out to the only service centre opened after 5 pm once a week and as would happen it was the very night my car graduated with high honors from the integrity check. Wheels Alignment, nearly perfect and well within required specs.  Did you know that in Ontario you not only need your plates and drivers license but also a cute little sticker to place on the license plate to prove you have indeed have paid your dues and are now allowed to drive on the road with said car ? I did not, and where I thought I would be paying 30$ for my plate and drive into the sunset I paid 130$ in dues so that I might be allowed to drive on the road until my birthday in 2012 if we don t blow up earth or something by then. That s a one time 30$ for the plates as advertised on the Ontario Official Website and an additional 74$ per year not so much advertised as simply not the official website. At least at first glance when one is inquiring on getting his car plated in Ontario. The balance of the total 130 was my dues for the remainder of the year. Figured I would be getting at least a glow in the dark sticker for that price, nope.
