To me it looks like the dealer did something specifically and explicitly prohibited by law. Breaking a larger transaction into smaller payments over time isn’t illegal but refusing to accept payment in full and insisting on time-spaced payments would definitely trigger an unpleasant inquiry, if found out.

You’re a heathen who knows not of what he speaks.

Make ANY efforts to avoid the reporting and you face the grim and serious faced Feds under the anti-terrorist laws. I’m sure the dealership has been through the training, so any violations are likely to be enforced to the letter.   These are not the run-of-the-mill law enforcement agencies.

That’s actually illegal.  The dealership could face penalties under the anti-money laundering laws for requiring a customer to pay in installments.  The penalties are very severe.

What savages use a trunk release button anyway? That’s what the remote is for.

I’m in their target market, and I had planned to move from my Toyota to a Lexus two years ago. I wanted more luxury, and it was the natural next step, based on my ownership and intention to “move up”.

CP. Too much money, but I’d never own a fox body Mustang, especially not a convertible.

Ajit Pai is a scumbag, but even a scumbag can be right now and then. The scumbag chair of the FCC is right, it’s time to discuss and consider reallocation with no preconceived result.

Nothing about this sentence makes sense when speaking of McDonald’s.

Never tell me the odds, kid!

“the Democratic party still wants me to believe that the only way to stop Trump is to give them my vote, as if Trump’s rise to power is somehow my fault..”

Why is fettle always fine?

K&N air “filter” = CP.

I don’t think he could have NOT kicked his foot, once I saw how far over he was before falling.

As someone who has played many years of ice hockey, this is bullshit. Even with tons of experience, it’s still slippery out there.

You know those “You had one job” memes? Chasing that ball is his one job. Fans paid to watch. It was a live ball.  Nobody there has a right to get salty at him for doing his one job.

That is a sad, sad basketball court.  

You’re too stupid for courtside seats.

This is a cheap hack on a professional entertainer who's had a bad moment now and then.

Can I get a courtesy star on my other reply?
