Wow.....
There's thing called Google
All private party firearm transfers are supposed to be done with a 3rd party with a current active FFL. Period end of story.
That's the only legal way to transfer ownership of a firearm in America.
If it's a class 3 weapon, gets more complex.
New business please!!!!!
Best

According to what? There are a few states with such a requirement (like CA), but private party sales to a buyer in the same state are mostly unregulated as far as I know.

Congrats! Looks great!

he was probably offered a free system for airtime on YouTube.... even so, bad idea all around...
Think about the level of incompetence required to totally screw over a customer whom you know is a significant tuber and is planning to extensively publicize his experience with you. That's like a promising young singer showing up blind drunk to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

Can't wrap my head around why someone would send an expensive car to a shop without an extensive track record of modifying similar cars. Crazy.

Looks good. How much did you lower it, and how thick are the Novitec spacers?

The thing I don't understand is how anyone can send their car to Hennessey? There are a few other very reputable shops around, and while everyone can have issues with custom builds, you know the people behind the operation stand behind their work and have done so for decades.
Yeah Hennessey might give you a good car, but no better than any other tuner shop. You also have a reasonable chance of getting your car back in pieces minus whatever cash you paid. I see absolutely no upside to sending a $250k car with $60k in the trunk, to a shop known for outright fcuking people, that is still very publicly having financial troubles.
Why the hell would anyone smart enough to earn the pile of $$ to buy that car risk it?
A lot of it is because Hennessey still gets regular, favorable press coverage in the mainstream car mags. How he cultivated those connections I don't know, but he did, and they're still shilling for him. Lots of people see a tuner and his latest offering being written about in Car & Driver or one of the other major mags and figure he must be legit, and don't bother to do an online search on him. And if they contact him, he's a great salesman/marketer. BTW, anyone who sends a Huracan to a tuner who hasn't spent a ton of time on them (and that's essentially anyone other than UR or maybe Heffner) at this point is playing with fire IMO. Getting the DCT to work well with TT's is complicated, even at bolt-on levels, and there are a number of cars out there now with a Joe's Speed Shop bolt-on setup and either outright tranny problems or a poorly shifting tranny.

That dealer seems to specialize in exotics with wrecks, thefts, etc. and is not particularly up front about disclosing the issues (this ad says clean carfax, and it may or may not be clean, but I can promise you they know about the history and bought it accordingly). Not sure why anyone would want to deal with a dealer like that.

Lol. That last one linked above is in fact the house used to portray the Clampett's mansion on the Beverly Hillbillies, but you probably already knew that!

Like I said in another thread, nearly all countries would have to launch against us simultaneously for an ICMB to hit us.
I don't think anyone is too worried about losing American lives in the U.S. The 30k U.S. troops in SK are another story, as are the millions of SK citizens that are within easy reach of conventional NK artillery. I'd hate to be the one making the decision on this one.
-
I heard they packed up and left.
the P is still ring king!
they said it was the fastest 2wd production car record at the ring.
Yeah what I read indicated both their pro drivers had races this weekend and had to leave, and it sounded like they were telling people to go back to contributing money online with the hope of trying it again next month. Not sure if they'll do that or not, or how long the dealer who supplied the cars would be willing to leave them over there (I can't imagine they'd ship them back and forth again), but I think this week's effort is done.

I think we need a 610 vs 580 roll race....
I'm not sure I'm buying that the 580 has been detuned that much, and we know it's lighter. -
I thought the R Tronic was more of a auto matic as compared to an egear.....I could be wrong though.....
It's just like the E-gear.
-
Very odd choice of coilovers for a car with so much track stuff dumped into it (presumably the previous owner was more interested in the lift/slamming capability of the air system than in actual track performance), and yeah the fitment on some of the aftermarket body panels leaves much to be desired (not unusual), but if everything else checks out and the price is right it should be fine. BTW launching a '15 isn't really hard on the trans either. The trans and especially the software has changed a good bit from the early cars, and it was really only the '09's that had somewhat of an issue there (mainly morons that thought launching the car 10 times in a row without letting things cool down was a great idea).

Am I the only one that thinks McGregor has a chance? He is bigger, longer, stronger......one flush connection and it could be a bad day for Mayweather.
Yes.
I wish it were otherwise, but McGregor won't be able to land anything effective at all IMO. The whole thing is a sham. -
Yes I know. Thank god there isn't anything more important than a baseball game going on in D.C.
Well it was 7 a.m. I'm guessing they planned to be at work before 9.

NBC just said he's not dead.

We're not talking about prosecutorial discretion, we're talking about the duty of law enforcement to investigate a possible crime who would then present the case to a prosecutor who would then decide whether or not to proceed.
The analysis is the same. Prosecutors in some places do initiate investigations (or not), and LE has discretion as to how it allocates its investigative resources and which crimes it investigates. Discretion is employed throughout the system, from whether a traffic cop pulls over a speeder or ignores him all the way up. Now if that discretion is exercised for a corrupt reason (like a bribe), that's another matter, but generally speaking LE has no duty to investigate every potential crime that is reported to it.
-
I caught that too. If that is indeed the case, the whole deal is moot. What I also thought was strange was when he said if an FBI agent is made aware of a crime he is not obligated to investigate.
It's the old prosecutorial (and apparently investigative as well) discretion. A prosecutor doesn't have to pursue every case presented to him even if he thinks there is enough evidence to get a conviction, and the President, as head of the executive branch, can't have less authority in that regard than his subordinates. But the prosecutors are usually in the best position to know all the circumstances and exercise that discretion, so Presidents normally don't get involved in shutting down criminal investigations or telling prosecutors not to prosecute. So it's rather unseemly, but legal. But yeah, the whole "what did Trump mean" is really a moot point, and it had no effect on what Comey did anyway.
-
The perspective from the same NYT that waa outted by Coney for publishing outright fake stories?
Not only that, Comey admitted that Trump had the legal authority to simply order him (the FBI) to close an investigation if he wanted. That is something modern Presidents normally don't do, but there is no legal prohibition against it. I'm not sure why this isn't receiving more attention--maybe because it would leave the MSM with nothing to report on regarding the "obstruction" angle.

Damn man you canceled your internet now you will have to buy your pitch fork at the hardware store with the rest of the peasants, do you realize they are cheaper online??

Funny- I was about to say the same thing.
I argue that this is what we basically have now= people are working for nothing but to put food on the table. You have no idea because you clearly have.
You (the royal you, you- meaning those who have) are killing incentive by taking huge paychecks and paying out "industry standard"... which is nothing more than again, a coc k fight where this guy is more hungry and is willing to do it for less. It is THIS that kills the incentive of everyone else.
This is complete BS, and has been explained to you numerous times already (obviously it isn't sinking in because you have embedded this "woe is me" attitude so deeply you can't hear the explanation). There is plenty of incentive not to remain a hungry worker bee "willing to do it for less" and to move to something that pays better. Whether through additional education or training, by doing a bang up job and moving up within the organization, by starting a business, etc.
While I'm making my point= do you feel that a civil servant, be it a Post Man, Police Man, DMV worker.. what ever= should make MORE than someone working in the private sector? I sure as hell don't. But this is the reality because- again, those who have, those job creators, those complaining about the very taxes that are paying the civil servants= aren't paying the people making them money enough.Now- I'll add- I do feel that our police officers should be paid well. However- those who went on to further their education, their marketability= should be paid more. If you disagree with that= I'm sorry to tell you, but you have a fundamentally flawed view.
I am NOT saying that a "worker bee" should get RICH off of a 9-5. I am saying that with a good education and role= they should be quite comfortable.
Again, this is exactly backward. Government workers often make more than their private sector equivalents because the government can extract taxes at will and doesn't have to make a profit or even break even. Now that is unfair to the taxpayers, but you don't see that problem at all; instead you see the problem as private business owners paying too little. Who gets to decide how much a business owner should pay its workers? You? The government? I think I'll stick with letting the free market set those terms, as would anyone who believes in individual liberty (for employers and workers).

I'll have to look back. I don't choose to ignore any posts that are constructive/add value. I only recently started taking the bait for the nonsense... which i am washing my hands of.
You are making great points my friend- but at some point you will have to come to the realization that could and should are not always interchangeable. Those people are necessary for the world to perpetuate. If we keep going down this road of spiraling out of control capitalism= eventually people from my of this wall are going to come and take things from people on your side of the wall. There are a lot more of me than there are you.
I'd rather not be around when (not if) that finally happens... but if we keep ignoring this, keep saying "work harder, try something else, do something that someone else hasn't done" in response to someone making the points that I have=== it's definitely coming.
And there it is. Give us some of your stuff or we'll take it. Because we deserve it. In other words, your individual liberty only goes as far as my needs may allow. BTW, capitalism has raised the standard of living for more people all over the world than every other factor combined, but there are still millions of people who would be helped by it "spiraling out of control" a bit more.

You might want to start listening to some of those loud voices (or soft ones) as your understanding is wrong. Perfectly legal and undocumented private party sales take place every day in various parts of the country. Now you can't claim you're an unregulated private party if you're selling 50 or 100 guns a month or something as then you're considered to be "in business" and subject to dealer regs, but occasional sales are fine and are subject to minimal regulations in most states. There are a few like CA that require private sellers to go through a licensed dealer and do a background check, etc., but most only prohibit transfer to persons known to be ineligible to possess a firearm (underage, intoxicated, known felons, etc.), and don't require any documentation be made or kept.
