Word is getting out
People have asked me on a daily basis about the whole scooter situation, all summer long.
And all summer long, I've said "it's coming" like some little broken home kid, waiting for their dad to show up and take them camping for the weekend. Got a lot of "Aw, poor deluded thing", looks.
But I had faith.
Admittedly, that faith wavered on occasion. But it never went away completely. Which is why when people started railing about getting a lawyer, and calling Silverman Helps, or other such tactics, I just smiled and said "Yeah, I should do that".
But in the long run, I knew it wasn't going to be needed. In the long run, I knew that things would work out. It was a longer run than I had hoped, and more filled with drama and frustration than it needed to be... but things are working out. They delivered a beautiful scooter. Just lovely. To be honest, I'm thrilled with it.
Deep down, I knew that the owner of the shop - the guy who stayed late to fix my fuel line on Saturday night - really did want to have a happy customer in me. And as interest in my story, and the readership of this blog increased, I wanted very badly to be able to say that they delivered, and that I was a happy customer who would sing their praises to whoever would listen.
We're almost there. Just a few simple steps and we'll arrive at unequivocably happy. All it'll take is for me to be able to hold up the ownership slip from the MTO, and I will weep for joy.
Ok. Probably not weep. But I'll be pretty damn giddy.
Meanwhile, I'm still getting the questions. People ask, "Any word on the scooter?" and then make that wincy, expecting-bad-news face. No need, friends. Fist to the air, grinning from ear to ear, I've been able to say, "I got it! They came through!".
Feels great.

Argh! Die spambots die! Take your harder mortgage penis rolex cialis university degrees and stuff them down your virtual gullets until you choke....
Ahem...
Congrats Tab on getting your scooter!
I know you're happy about finally getting your scooter, but I still don't think you should tell anyone to go to "The Shop of Broken Promises". Yes they came through, but it took a lot....it's like when voting time comes around and everyone forgets all the crap things the government did and thinks "these last few weeks have been great!". I say NO...unless they give you the racing scooters that got done before your bike, and give you the bike that got your new engine in it and sent to BC, and sincerly apologize for all the lying! You know who you are!
That's just me, and I have had a lot of coffee this morning!

1) Totally happy for you Tab (and yes, will completely help w/promo on the Short Play)! Everyone should be happy! Scoot away!!
2) I appreciate their finally coming through...but will still do anything I can to remind all and sundry of the way you were treated.
3) I just wanted to tell you about a site that will save you 15 per cent on home insurance.
I understand, y'all. And I appreciate your support. (especially you, home mortgage robot! I DO want to save money on my monthly payment. NO JOKE!)
I'm just giving credit to the mechanic for building such a great scooter. Do I technically "own" it yet? Nope. Does that make me a little anxious? Yep. Will I freak out if that doesn't get taken care of this week? Maybe.
Am I getting used to waiting for things? Nope. But only because I don't think I should have to at this point.
I told them yesterday I'd be in on Wednesday to get the letter I need for the MTO, so hopefully two days of advance prep will be enough time to get it together and printed up.
