Krispy Kareem posted:Don't they restrict some models to 'legacy' owners, creating scarcity even if you have the means to buy one? not restricted as such, but previous owners of their top-of-the-line cars go to the front of the waiting list, and the more you've owned the higher you go. As they tend to only make them in the dozens or hundreds it does mean the same few people (mostly people who own entire countries or played on Dark Side Of The Moon) end up owning them. Also if you don't follow their rules on ownership (which normally includes <x> miles of on-road driving a year and, if you want to sell them, giving first refusal to people on the waiting list and selling them at no more than the purchase price) you'll get bumped to the back and so effectively locked out of buying them in the future. It sounds silly but Enzo Ferrari knew what he was about and those halo cars are a rolling advertising hoarding for them and their brand. The purchase price barely covers the materials, let alone the R&D and production costs - it's more a sort of loyalty test than a financial transaction. It would actually be insanely GWM to run a long con on them because on the very rare occasions one of them come up for open sale they generally go for 5-10x the purchase price - you just need a few million dollars of seed money. Oh and a few hundred million dollars more to afford the kind of lifestyle that gets you invited onto the list on the first place, but you can probably write that off against tax or something.

BEHOLD: MY CAPE posted:I doubt it, picking up a new car from the dealer is one of the best parts about owning sweet sports cars. Especially a rare collectible 430 Scuderia like this one. Really sad because it was very limited production and obviously irreplaceable n I thought if a Ferrari is rare enough they will salvage the VIN plate and rebuild the entire car, if the buyer agrees to pay for it, of course. Really drives home the adage of "To own one, you have to be able to buy two."

monster on a stick posted:Notaries make copies (at least every time I've had something notarized, they make a photocopy), so whoever notarized the original document will have the original version with "$10K" on it. If the document has an obvious change, then the change itself has to be notarized as well, and the notary would have a copy of that. They do? I've never had any notary I've ever used make a copy, they just note it down in a little log book. Then again they've all been coworkers or family friends so maybe they do if you're paying them for it?

I'm not sure what you got notarized, and maybe it is because they know you personally and were a little lax, but for something like a real estate transaction they should be making copies. I know everything in my trust/estate plan needed to be notarized and they made copies of it all for their records, and this was besides the copies that the attorney kept. So many stamps... ate all the Oreos posted:"Everything's a graze unless the hit has enough ~stopping power~ to explode your organs or shatter your bones or give you brain damage due to hydrostatic shock" - what gun people actually believe Gun people don't believe that. Every once in a while someone obviously new (like the dumbass who shot himself) will go and say "such-and-such round can't really hurt you", and the classic sarcastic refrain is "ok then, why don't you go over there, I'll start shooting you, and you can tell me when to stop" because even small calibers are deadly - for reference, RFK was killed with a .22LR revolver which is about as puny as they come. Every range I've been to can and will kick you out immediately if you aren't practicing any kind of range safety; the biggest problem they have are mostly with tourists from other countries who fly in and say "I'll go to a range and shoot guns from the hip/with the pistol turned sideways and be just like some guy from a movie I saw." monster on a stick fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Jul 29, 2017 |

So far the things I've gotten personally notarized were an inheritance legal document from my grandfather's estate so I could get my inheritance check, and my marriage license. I mean both of these later had many copies made of them (after I mailed the first back to the lawyer, and after the second got returned to the state) but the notary didn't do that, she just stamped it and logged it

^^ also see my add to your more recent postate all the Oreos posted:So far the things I've gotten personally notarized were an inheritance legal document from my grandfather's estate so I could get my inheritance check, and my marriage license. I mean both of these later had many copies made of them (after I mailed the first back to the lawyer, and after the second got returned to the state) but the notary didn't do that, she just stamped it and logged it Both of those are just validating who you are, though, which is one point of the notary; the log book is enough. Quit claim deeds and real estate transactions are very different because it's not just "ate all the Oreos is who they say they are, so please send they the check that's due" but "ate all the Oreos (who is who they claim they are) signed a quit claim deeding this plot of land and the house on it that they own over to monster on a stick (who also is who they claim they are) with the consideration that monster will be paying $X to Oreo." And the implications of any kind of screw up (arguments over who the actual owner of a piece of land are and endless lawsuits) are much bigger than if someone faked a marriage license (which isn't a record of marriage, it just allows you to get married.) EDIT: In the case of your inheritance, assuming it was a will, then probate (which is a court filing and arguably a type of lawsuit, it's court-supervised and everything) has already determined that someone named "ate all the Oreos" is supposed to get $X so all you need to do is prove that's you. If you want fun, try getting a Medallion Signature Guarantee sometime. Sometimes it's almost impossible to get one. monster on a stick fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Jul 29, 2017 |

Thank you for posting the archived version of the gunshot guy. I was only able to get partial quotes from other people quoting him after he deleted it. Why was the gun pointed in a safe direction (other than his knee being in the way) when it discharged? quote:Yea, other than my leg it was pointed towards a cement floor. quote:Bruh. Concrete floors are definitely not considered a safe direction if the gun is loaded-too much of a chance for a ricochet. Aim downrange instead. The best non-OP comment: quote:Next time i shoot myself

CannonFodder posted:I thought if a Ferrari is rare enough they will salvage the VIN plate and rebuild the entire car, if the buyer agrees to pay for it, of course. Good question, idk if a 430 Scuderia qualifies for that sort of treatment whereas an Enzo or something might. Hardly matters though because it would be exorbitantly expensive to the point where you'd be better off just looking for another identical car somewhere else, and a salvage/rebuilt exotic is seriously damaged goods on the market and difficult to insure etc

F-22's pretty cool. It's Air Force only though. The F-35 was supposed to be cross platform for all the branches. I think the F-22 was a good plane at the wrong time. They kept cutting production during the peaceful 90's and by the time they realized they needed more, the F-35 was the new hotness.

The problem with the F22 is it's designed to be the best air superiority aircraft in the world, but the US pretty much exclusively goes to war with people who don't actually have air forces.
