OK I'm just a big scaredy cat.. :D
I have to go back to the car dealership (use that term very loosely) where I got my car since my temp tags have ran out and I need another set as they havent got my "real" one yet.
Since my budget was low and we were looking for somewhere that would let me take out a loan - went to a dealership in a VERY bad part of Memphis. Now the damn thing doesn't have AC, leaks rain in, pulls to the one side blah blah the list is endless - but M is coming over on Monday night to have a look and try to fix it
Anyways I have ran directions on Mapquest cos I have absolutely no clue how to get there from here and am terrified of getting lost. From past experience of getting lost in that area with M - getting help or directions is not a pleasant experience or even worth trying!
Soo I'm gonna head out soon while it's still early. Pity they wouldn't take the damn thing back. LOL.

TN must be different from the places I have lived. I always thought that the onus was on you to go to your local DMV and get your plates there, before the temp tags ran out. Does TN mail them to you?

Michigan mails plates.
Lesley, if it's not too late, just buy a map to keep in the car. I know, you're trying to assimilate and it's unAmerican (), but they're far more usefult than a mapquest printout when your en route and nee to find an alternative or change plans.....

Normally for $30-50 one can take a car to a mechanic and get their opinion of it prior to purchase- money very well spent.
Also- once a dealer has your money you can usually forget about taking the car back, as in most all cases it is sold "AS IS" with no expressed warranty. Caveat Emptor- let the buyer beware.
