LOL, but I bet they still charged you tax on your car.
I fucking hate care dealers they're all so damn fake sleazy. It's one thing to be sleazy and to own up to the sleaze; it's entirely different to be sleazy and act like they're you're best friend doing you a favor.

Yeah I guess long haired dirtbags like me don't usually carry around 20 G's in cash.
He sure as hell wasn't going to turn down the sale though.
Funny how people are starting to treat cash like it's taboo. I sold a newer 911 on ebay for 60k once and the dude flies down form Chicago with some kind of check. Umm..yeah you better cash that thing. He was like WTF? I can't carry 60k in cash. Ahh yeah you can.
"Funny how people are starting to treat cash like it's taboo."
^Amen. Funny how he said he can't carry $60k cash on himself. I imagine he was a white collar type guy El Mech?
I have anywhere from 500-1,000 in cash on me all the time. I like cash, period.
Gas station attendants, restaurants, almost everywhere I noticed this past year looks at me odd when I peel off cash.
Fuck them and fuck their plastic cards.
I was definitely born in the wrong generation.

Maybe I shouldn't say lucky, maybe he saw it coming the dip. I don't want to sound jealous, I applaud those that take risks and make moves as long as they can own the downside. Meaning you take credit for glory and for defeat.
McQueen - so if I forget my wallet you got it handled? :biggrin:
^I can tell who read the article and who didn't lol.
No, the BitPay transaction broker, locked in the rate at the Bitcoin value the day he bought it, so despite it dropping the dealer still got the full $100k.

I'm with you, McQueen. I feel naked unless I have a few hundred in cash on me at all times. I don't have a credit card, and the only time I use my debit card is to withdraw cash from an ATM.
I've noticed that a lot of my favorite shops and restaurants either don't accept plastic, or they're less friendly when you pull a card out of your wallet. I have $258 in my wallet right now, and when I spend it, it won't create a a record of where I've been or how much I've spent.
Cash is king.

I have no idea how credit cards work, otherwise I might get in on something like that for buying regular stuff like groceries, toiletries, etc.
Shit, I don't even understand credit card interest rates. Like, if you spend $500 and pay it off at the end of the month, do you pay any interest? If you don't carry the balance and pay interest, do you not get rewards?
Bust out a "credit card rewards" data sheet!
