back on track (maybe)

So my vehicles have been a major pain in my ass for the past year... Some examples of things that have happened:

The state of Illinois didn't send me the new title for my old car. Last year the brakes went on it as I was driving home for my brothers graduation. I replaced the brakes, got home safe, drove for another month, then the Cooling system went. Replaced that, but not soon enough to prevent the seals in the engine from blowing and destroying said engine.

So I ended up with a quick fix POS Saturn... Which got me back to Il (eventually) and around to a few job interviews. However what I didn't know was I needed to pick up a "city sticker" (When I asked if I needed one at the DMV I was told no) So I recently received a parking ticket.. which I couldn't afford at the moment, nor could I afford the city sticker. Which meant I got another ticket. So i tried selling the damn thing since I rarely used it. I had three people say they would buy it.. none of them showed up to get it... Then I missed an insurance payment... So now my car has been sitting with no insurance or city sticker.

i'm used to NY, where your registration is for 2 years, and relatively inexpensive. Here it's 100 bucks for the registration, 100 bucks for the city sticker, and I don't have either hundred. My Registration ran out in June, so now I'm struggling last minute to find a salvage yard that can pick up the car today before it gets towed and impounded by the city. Since I don't actually want the car I definately don't want to see it get towed and impounded where I might be responsible for it financially. Since it's worth less than the price of a tank of gas and barely runs.
