FINALLY

Image

48 days since I received the car. 69 days since I put down the initial deposit to hold the car.

All that's left now is processing the refund for the warranties I canceled. Shift claims they already sent that out, so it's on the lender's side to apply it back to my loan. They're going to make sure to get another billing cycle's worth of interest out of me :rolleyes:

I may, finally, be done with Shift. Here's hoping I never need to talk to them again.

There is one other thing. I'm going to send off some paperwork to the state to get the sales tax credit against the sale of the Stingray. But I have all the paperwork for that, so it should be entirely between me and Missouri. It took a few weeks, but Vira got her credit from the VR4 without any hassle.

Glad you can shift on down the road.

I guess shift never learned how to get out of first gear.

Hopefully with the rise of automatics, no one will use shift again.

I’m gonna miss these jokes. Lol

Not bad! FSHIFT. Could explain it to be 'Function' Shift. But yeah, they don't deserve even an insult on that car.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer

Now that I have all the paperwork and the initial registration is complete, I can apply for a personalized plate. It's a separate process in MO. But I can't decide on one I really like.
