By the way, thanks for sharing the details of your experience. I think I do
remember hearing at least some mention of this on the list at some point. My
guy is not the same guy unless one or both of them are lying about their
names. That is awesome how you went after your scumbag. If my guy turns
though, I paid $300... They valued it at a whopping $9k!

The registration used to be based on perceived value, so a Benz got a
huge ding at renewal time, while a yugo had them paying you to drive
it. Voted that out, so now the theory is that the time you title it
is when you get the huge hit instead of using the actual sales price
or value. See

Good words, Allan. I guess it's statements made that one does not know to be
true. For instance the seller says that there is a dash pad installed that
has no cracks in it. This in itself does not make total sense - of course a
new dash pad does not have crack in it. BUT the problem is that on the

Clay's playing with you. It's 1400 miles between Arlington TX and

very unlikely it's the same guy.
