A few folks here could make a post talking about cute puppies and somehow it would get turned around to bashing that person for not being a Trump cultist supporter. Kinda makes me wonder if those Trump cultists supporters aren't quite sure about their guy since they seem to want to talk about him all the time and bash anyone that has any even slightly negative opinions of the Trumpster.

So, that describes your life. "Annoy" is not the correct word.

I’m with Taurus on this one. Not everything needs to be politicized.

It's not a new scam. That scam has been around for a while.. Never fell for it.

My only fear when selling a car is that they'd return later and rob me of the money they just gave me.

I purchased a car from a banker oner time. We made the transaction at a branch. In NC you have to sign over the title in the presence of a notary. Then we went to a teller, he made out a deposit slip and I handed the teller the cash. The seller never even counted it.

The retired gentleman I bought my '66 GTO from last October would not take cash or a cashier's check. He was a life-long stockbroker/CPA/finance guy and insisted on us both going to the bank (we both had the same bank) and doing a direct transfer into his account. So we drove into town, had a cup of coffee, and did the deal. Easy-Peasy.

Agreed. A few here can't hold back doing exactly that.

Just takes all the enjoyment out of posting when you know everything will turn to politics no matter the topic all because a few can't control themselves.

My last sale was long distance. I did a purchase contract via email, with PDF signatures. He did a wire transfer to my bank, and I called my bank to verify the funds, and that they could not be reversed. I then signed the title, notarized, and sent it next day FedEx to him. He arranged the pickup, I hid a gps tracker in the car and sent him the link where he could see it in real time. He mailed the tracker back to me in my self addressed, prepaid box.
