    I was able to secure a carrier (most call it a vehicle)

    SovCits are always such dorks.

      It hinges on a dice roll finding someone half as dumb as they are.

      The places I’ve worked had a surprising fraction of people who didn’t understand the job yet somehow managed to not get fired. I’m not that surprised.

        This is what gives me The Fear; we are laughing now, but human society is not at all innoculated against an ideology that turns people into sociopathic liars, and we have to hope that despite what in this metaphor I will call “the patient’s poor health”, that we can survive long enough to develop a lasting immunity.

          It’s like strange matter. It’s the crazy that drives everyone around you crazy. The prion of confused thinking.

      Not going to get much of a commission when this “private citizen” sends a coupon in for his first few payments and they have to repo it.

        Still got the down payment. And they get to do it all over again when they repo it.

    “Using the strawman,” I get that language is always evolving, but I’m consistently surprised at their alien definitions of common words.

    I am under the impression that this Josh is a man in between. Or is straight up telling him what he wants to hear and taking his money. I guess he will find out when his “carrier crashes” again.

    Nevermind all the terminology gobledygook. This sounds an awful lot like a temporary tag, or a temporary permit to relocate a vehicle without a plate. Which I think is pretty standard in any state, and I can see a dealership begrudgingly doing this if it gets the car off the lot. But it’s very temporary, like days to weeks in my experience. I think the DMV would catch on if you kept coming back for permits.

    Also, I’m guessing sovcit here doesn’t have a “FARM USE” loophole in their state?

      I’m pretty sure in order to get a farm use exemption, the property you live at would have to be zoned as agricultural.

    I love that he wants to send Josh a lot of business but never mentions the company. Just go to every dealer and ask for Josh I guess

    I wonder what the state’s recourse is for this dealership and the sale. This type of sale has to throw a bunch of red flags into the system.

      So long as the sales tax gets paid the state probably doesn’t care much. Registration and insurance is only required for driving on public roads, you can make a new car a lawn ornament or for your personal off road track without those.

        Right. The litigious nature of things though, I wonder if the dealership could be at fault for giving some POS a car without proof of either. Registration of and insurance for this vehicle is required due to the public road use. Ain’t like he’s driving it solely on his own land.
