VIctory Over Ford!

no, the title of this blog is not the name of a turisas song... though it could easily be one. today i got a check forwarded from my dad for $1220 from ford motor credit. let's back up a bit. ;-D when we moved to hong kong, christin was paying [way too much a month] for a car and we couldn't get rid of it. the car was not worth what she owed on the private market, so we surrendered her focus at the dealership. they said 'no problem' and sold the car. shortly afterward, they sent us a settlement bill for basically the difference between what they sold the car for and what she owed.

we had no idea this was actually illegal.

that's right folks, if you surrender a vehicle you're making payments on, the company cannot make you pay them a settlement or continue your payments after the car has been returned to the one who owns the pink slip. two years after this event, we got a letter in the mail from a class action law suit that said we'd get all the money back. this was good, because we had originally borrowed the money from my parents. it's going straight back to them, but i'm glad it's finally over with. i don't owe my parents anything. this is a huge deal for me.

today i went to the store and bought a ton of vitamins, stuff to make meat sauce [from ground chicken], some cutlery and two chocolate bunnies. don't judge me. i also bought a bag of mini robin eggs. you know, the whoppers with a candy shell? more on that tomorrow. i'll be making a video about it and spending most of the day editing it and the julieandstacy f.a.q. video i should have done weeks ago. i'm such a failure. just got out of my first halls of reflection run, and it was really fun! got some upgrades for dps. for now, i will go to bed because i'm tired.
