What notes are you going to put it on? Like a chord like G?

You know how I hate drama?

Well, life is sometimes fucking dramatic. Fuckers... The world is full of inept fuckers. Seriously fucking inept fuckers. Fucking seriously fucking inept fucking fuckers. Fuck 'em. Just fuck 'em all with a rake.

Is this something to do with the laundomat?

LOL No... No, I got an email and I have two choices. Mercedes made a huge mistake. Let me start at the beginning...

I ordered my AMG ONE fairly early on, back when they planned selling it in the US.

They changed their mind and are not selling it in the US, due to 'performance' reasons.

I have an AMG ONE. I ordered it before they decided they weren't going to sell it in the US.

I haven't tried to register it, I just threw dealer plates on it. So, I don't know if I could actually register it due to the VIN.

They goofed and shouldn't have shipped it to me - never mind taking it back and shipping it to me a second time.

They sent me a legal notice. I have to return the car, but I think I can agree to not register it and use it on the street. It'd only be allowed on private property - like race tracks.

It had all sorts of legal mumbo jumbo, so I sent a copy to my lawyer but haven't heard back.

They're willing to refund my money AND give me something extra, approximating "fair market value" to make up for their mistake.

Suffice to say, I'm pretty fucking pissed off. This boondoggle of a car program is pissing me off to no end.

I want the car. I don't want the car if it can only be used on the track. Fuck that noise. I'm not paying that much for a car I can't use.

On a more positive note, I could hold onto it for 20 years and then I could 'import' it and register it legally...

Hopefully my lawyer will get back to me soon. I kinda want to go to Germany to punch someone in the face, or break a kneecap.

I dunno yet. I could set it to an Fmin and jam from there, giving a good bluesy ambiance so long as my fingers do what they're supposed to and I can keep it in the right key. I haven't played with partial capos in a long time.

I fucking love Vipers. Alas, I have some phone calls to make. I don't like to have serious phone calls while driving, and I have some data I need to conduct the phone calls - none of which is memorized. Then I can pile it all on my lawyer.

It's a long story... Wait, no... I don't need to make it long. The gist of it is that I'm helping an older woman out by loaning her the money to buy a laundromat. While I am loaning the money, I will own 51% of the laundromat until it is more than 50% paid back. As she pays it back, I will own less and less of the company - until I own 25%. I'll keep the 25% as a source of passive income and that's my price for loaning her the money in the first place.

(I have my fingers in a lot of pies, doing similar with some regularity.)

Ah well... So, I'm home for the day. I think Biff may want to go into town later and J is in class all afternoon. So, I might be dragged off to go shopping. Fortunately, there's solid trunk space in a Viper, so we could take that if she's not getting anything large. I have no idea what it is she wants to go shopping for. It's not shopping for groceries, I'm pretty sure.
