The Move Up

Ok so where do i start with this hectic day!!!! So I packed the Penske truck up the night before we left and that morning the plan was to pick up the penske car tow hitch thingy and put my car on it... Then ON THE ROAD we go!!

Well as you expected, that didn't go according to plan. I went to pick up my car from the parking deck to put on the tow and what do you know. My car is MIA!!!! Now I'm frantic! So, with some calling around I found out KSU Police towed it 2 nights before. I'm like really? Really? So apparently, because I didn't have updated tags the car was considered abandoned. I didn't have updated tags because I wasn't driving it and was having it towed to IL to have fixed. But of course, KSU police didn't know this... So, I called the tow truck company and it was $260 to have the car taken out! Now I've been pinching for pennies this whole move, how in the heck can I afford $260 more dollars?? Any ideas? Because I sure had none! Well I called my trusting supervisors and explained the whole thing to them in tears and they were forgiving enough to give me the money. THANK GOD!!!!!

So....after running around and spending 2 hours for the idiots at the tow company to fix my front end they tore up and putting the car on the tow, we were finally on the road. I'd give it 4pm. Which of course everyone knows is a late start for 12 hour road trip.

Well the road trip it self went great. We ran into one little problem ( I parked the truck to close to the pump once and couldn't get out, it took us 45 mins and a guy who felt sorry for us to get the truck moving again safely) but other than that it was a fun road trip up!!!

UNTIL WE HIT ILLINOIS!!!! Right as we were entering the state some idiot 18 wheeler driver guy managed to total my poor baby! I didn't take pictures of the horror but he basically hit my car from behind which made the car fish tail from side to side and damage a little of the penske truck, but we came out with no bumps and bruises. At least that was until we got home and noticed all my bedroom set had been damaged in the process. Well through a long process of claims and rescheduling my interview for my internship by the way, we managed to get the car situated and make a safe recovery.

The good thing out of this whole fiasco is I got a brand new car!!! 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport! First driver baby!!! Financing is a bit crazy, but I plan to pay it off before I graduate grad school. Hope u like my sweet new ride!
