Ran when parked

So a month or two ago I was going to try to save this thing and so I got in touch with the owner. He wants $1mil for it.... He was willing to bargain but he is very easily offended. I offered a price that was too low for him and it really pissed him off.

Somehow the fact that it was Chrysler who built those rockets seems almost more unbelievable than us actually having visited an extraterrestrial object. What a world.

No Lowballs - I KNOW WHAT I’VE GOT.  Rocket AC just needs a charge.

I’m a machinist, inconel also makes me weak in the knees, but for another reason. 

Just a quick primer on the Saturn series, since I’m sure it will come up:

You’re mad that someone made a sound, legal, and more importantly, logical financial decision? Take that energy and try to fix the system if you’re this up in arms about it, instead of bitching on the internet.

Defend wealthy people? No I defended private property. Property taxes make one essentially and effectively a renter with the government as the owner. This situation hurts the middle class far more than the wealthy. So if I am defending anyone it is the middle class and lower income property owners.

As to sales/use…

I don’t respect states with ‘use’ taxes either. Which what it typically is on cars legally. Why a ‘use’ tax? Because they can’t tax a transaction that occurs in another state. If it is truly a sales tax, a tax on the transaction, then let the person who paid every penny of taxes on his out of state purchases via the…

It is to avoid sales tax. When you buy a car you have to pay sales tax, montana doesn’t charge people sales tax on cars. So if you buy a $500k car in say MD, where I live and have a LLC in Montana and register your car there you save 500k x .06= $30k in sales tax.

I have no respect for states that have property taxes on cars. A Ferrari doesn’t use any more road than any other automobile of its size.

Dodging federal taxes might be unpatriotic but avoiding a state trying to grab money out of your pocket for simply owning something seems like a patriot move to me. Why should I pay more in taxes because I bought a car with my money than someone who spent their money on burgers and strippers?

If he’s in CA, it’s probably for smog dodging, not tax dodging. I’m sure he’s paying plenty of CA tax buying gas for the thing all the time.

Or the people who are resigned to the same thing happening again, and don’t feel like paying to fix it twice. I used to think that when I owned a nice car, I would fix every minor scratch that happened to it. Then I actually owned one while living in a city. And the rear bumper got scuffed. And I came to the…

Yikes! He got her to violate two of the most important rules of driving:

Also like, those apartments look like shit...how you affording an F40 but you living in what looks like, one social step above a crack den?

why can’t drivers just see humans and brake for them? humans are easy to distinguish from other things, and the brake pedal is right freaking there

Or we could work harder on educating pedestrians to not walk out into the road without looking, keep a closer eye on their kids, and have cyclists and bikers keep to the fucking edge of the road.

Whom was the last American that did something heroic to earn their spot in the history books?
