OP!!!!


Old dear OP. You were born (made) the same year as myself. Good ol' 1985. Ronald Reagan as president, BACK TO THE FUTURE, most popular song was "I want to know what love is, by Foreigner, Cosby Show was #1...you get it...it was a LONG LONG TIME AGO. Hence why THIS CAR IS BEING A PAIN IN MY REAR END! First of all, we did not realize our marbeta (PR insurance and registration) was expired! One day we are at the beach y una policia is checking out our car. Jacques goes to talk to him and he gets a screwdriver and takes our liscense plate, right there at de beach! Our bad. We did not notice that it was expired and it was definitely our fault. So for one day we rode around with no license plate. The next day we get our Marbeta (correct me if I am spelling it wrong, please!) registered. Not that big of a deal, there's a fee, inspection (it passed!) and a trip to the police station to retrieve our plate. Now we only have one screw for the plate! The boys (not sure if it was Enda, Santi, JB or Jacques...or the combination of the four) decided to DUCT TAPE the damn thing onto our car. Unlike Jersey, Puerto Rico only requires rear license plates (like...ummmm....Pennsyltucky...you know a PA plate by the front of the car). So the front does not look as mal as the back. After our car was legit..we went to our friends house in Puntas (same neighborhood we live in) and we went down the wrong street. Jacques tells me to get Sienna outta the car in attempt to get OP up out of the valley that he turned onto...in the midst he lost his keys and the car sits...for one day...for another...and another...thank goodness the wonderful and caring neighbors towed us out of there. OP, I would think with your 25 years of existence you would be more mature than this!!!!
-sidenote: Jacques rented a car for a couple days (for me) and he is getting all this stuff takin care of tomorrow morning. Our mechanic had an emergency today and couldn't make it.....OP, GROW UP!! WE NEED YOU!
-another sidenote: Jacques tried to post about four times today...he couldn't figure out how to upload pictures without his sweet lil girlfriend. heh. A POST FROM QUEZ SOON TO COME!!

  2. hey Wil! Thanks for the comment. For a year it was $180, this depends on the type of car. A plus is a Marbeta is insurance and registration in one. Two birds. One stone. Hope this helped!! :)
