One of the most important things we have to change around when we get to New York: Our licenses. The cars have to be reinspected and retagged. We have to redo our registrations and our car insurance. I'm frightened of just how much it's going to cost. I am in the process at looking through auto insurance quotes now, and I feign to think of how much the premium will skyrocket once we get settled. I just found cheap car insurance, actually cheaper than the one we have had. We are switching because we don't want to have to renew with the NJ based insurance then switch again in a few months time. I don't know how much registrations and licenses are yet, but I do know you have to pay like 45 dollars to go through inspection.

There there is the issue with Old Blue. She gave up on going in reverse, poor old lady, and now she is sitting with a flat tire in the back of the house looking so tired. Her little understudy is back there keeping her company. That one has to get a few minor fixes and we will be on the road again in 2 cars, instead of me waiting around for Sporty to get back with my husband safely inside. The understudy doesn't have a name yet. She will, though. They all have to have a name. Look how eager she is to get on the road!

Pricing tires...well brand new ones..is a daunting task when you have a huge tire to buy. The tires that our truck needs are like $150 a piece. Now, you would think I was buying Ferrari parts at that price. I didn't really realize till I needed to just how much of an investment these tires could become. We are looking at local used tire places to see if we can find the sizes we need for cheaper. I heard something about 75 dollars per tire, so I am going to check into it and see if it's true.
