Asking a Favor

Hi,

[EDIT -- I'm all set, I got all my stuff out of the car...with the pocket change alone I should have a good down payment for the next one.]

So...the car is a total loss. The appraiser racked up about $9500 worth of charges before the computer told him to quit.

So...I'm buying a new car apparently.

But first, I need to ask a favor. I really wish there was Zip Car in Maynard, but there isn't. If there's anyone with wheels willing to give me a ride during the day on Tuesday (the 25th), I'd really appreciate it. I need to go out to Boxborough to clean out my car, pull the plates and authorize the insurance company to take it away to car heaven.

I will totally cover the cost of gas (and your zip car fee if you use zip car).

After that, I will probably be asking about buying a car (it's been awhile since I last did this and I don't have a handy in with the manufacturer like I did last time). But for now I need to prep the body of the king for burial.

Thanks in advance for any help
Tom

Yeah. I wish I could do it, but tomorrow I have a dentist appointment at 9:45, and then I'm working 12-7, and I don't see making it to boxborough and back between 10:15 and 12.

If you need to, call my dad? He might be around.

For a handful of pocket change, I'd sell you the truck I'm driving. You just have to come to Chicago & pick it up.
