If you pay his ask and take possession of the car, the title loan folks come to you to repossess it, and you have zero legal standing without their lien release of title.. If you try to process a bill o

After more than 50 years of being a pilot there is no good way to kill yoursef.. however if flight history of gyrocopters is valid.. it is an effective way to do great harm to yourself, before you die of injuries. If you buy it, then fly it.. It's been nice knowing you. On Sat, Dec 16, 2023 at 8:2
