I should just go to the bank and cash the insurance check and take it all in $20 bills. Then walk into a dealership with the $20 bills stacked up in a suitcase, set the suitcase on the table and open it up and say "ok what can I get for this much?" that'd be fun

I know that many dealerships (it may be federal law) won't take cash for a car purchase because of IRS rules. Essentially they're trying to keep drug dealers, etc. from laundering their money through the dealerships.

That said, ~20 years ago, my friend's Grandmother walked into a Mercury dealer checked out a Cougar, asked the sales guy how much, and then left. She went to her bank, took out the cash for the car, and returned to the dealer.

She said, "I'll take it."
They said, "great, we can finance it this way or that..."
She said, "I'll pay cash"
They said, "oh, ok. Like a cashier's check..."
She said, "No. Cash." and showed them the money.
They = :eek::eek::eek:
They literally didn't know if they could do that, or how to take that much cash!

:D
 
hmmmm we need to find out where a bunch of us were together sitting in line at a bus stop or on an airplane or something and figure out who's next and stop the curse like that movie Final Destination lol
 
Damn, just saw this thread. Sorry to see your P5 is totalled (I still have one of your pics as a desktop on a work computer.) Glad to hear that you are okay though and you are considering a MSP to replace it.
 
thanks Derek! I still remember that time we had baltimore crabs with kat and uhhh...that one other guy (hand)

anyway, glad to see your protege is still doing well!

Haha yeah can't quite remember the other guy either, something about a broken endlink though :)

I had an incident like yours, except I stopped and the person following slid on black ice and ran into me :( Fortunately, mine wasn't as bad.

Unfortunately, it seems the guy removed the vid from his site.


Hopefully your car isn't totalled. If it is, good luck finding a MSP. If you're down in B-more again let me know.

I remember that actually - I watched the video a while ago...I'm glad your car was ok!
 
im fine...i was in some stop and go traffic on 95 north this afternoon and right after we started to go my lane suddenly stopped for some reason and i didnt quite stop in time :)

so i hit the truck in front of me which hit the car in front of it which hit the car in front of it. durp! "following too close"

I was gonna pull it off to the breakdown lane but when I got out to check the damage my truck was pouring oil out on the road so i just turned it off and we all blocked the left lane on i-95 for an hour right before rush hour....muahahahaha

damage isnt too bad but it might be totaled since its a '98 with high miles....we shall see.
 
eeek. following too close...whatever! it's stop and go traffic! everybody is following too close...

hope the truck is ok!
