One More Thing to Cross off the List!!!

I am extremely happy and relieved to announce that we FINALLY passed our Finland inspection and got license plates for the car!!! This past month has been kinda crappy phoning garages that (a) speak English (b) aren't located in the Laplands (c) won't charge me my second born child to pay for, and (d) won't make me wait until next month to fix my car.
I ended up going to three different garages to get the 7 items on our list done. The biggest job was the repairs to the rust damage - apparently you're not allowed to have rust in Finland! Hello, my car is 8 years old, it was our only vehicle that entire time, and we drove it in Canadian winters.
Many setbacks were overcome, many tears were shed (mine, not Andrew's), a few f*bombs were dropped, but the important thing is that we passed, the car looks great, and we don't need to go through this again.
Well, at least not until next year....
