Randel finally found a seller on Craigslist who a) followed through an initial contact, and b) wasn't a scammer. Craigslist was "sucking the soul" out of him until we made contact with someone who actually had a car to sell.
Buying a vehicle is only the beginning of preparing a car for these roads. Really, the DMV in this state nickels and dimes the hell out of the residents who want to drive. $62 for a license, btw. After completing a sale, a car was is not legally drivable. That's because when you sell a car in New York license plates are removed. So, Randel spent 8 hours bussing (very inefficient bus system) and walking to the insurance office and DMV to aquire all of the necessary accoutraments so that we could actually drive the car we bought.
So finally, we can take 5 minutes to go to a grocery store instead of 2 hours.
Here it is. Suggestions for nicknames are encouraged.
