      I can’t beat that. Great take. First good out loud laugh of the day (it’s the weekend, I slept in, leave me alone).

      What an absolute chad. He even left the sovcit with the impression that he was a “nice salesman” while immediately getting rid of sovcit and making the scheme someone else’s problem. Probably went right onto his next sale and earned another commission in the time he saved by immediately disengaging. A true professional.

    I really wanna know what the thought is behind the notion that they can just submit the right paperwork and simply not have to pay anything for a new car. How can they possibly think that’s how this works?

      They think they are “paying” for the car with a secret multimillion dollar bank account that every person has access to if they use the right “magic words.”

      The problem with this magical thinking is that when they fail, they think they just need more magic words, so they get angrier and more dedicated to the process, generating more and more madness for themselves and others for consume.

      The same way video game cheat codes work.

      And I bet you there is a large Venn diagram overlap between SovCits and people who think we live in a simulation.

      No no, they’re getting a used car and paying for it from the secret trust fund the government set up for them, so they’re really not too worried about the ‘price’. See, you just present your indorced 1099a form with a piece of silver taped to it, and signed in red at 45 degrees along with the coupon from the purchase order stamped with your official ‘citizen of not here’ (or whatever it is today) stamp and it just works out. Obviously.

      I actually feel uncomfortable having typed that out.

    I looked up form 1099a and it’s issued by a lender who acquires abandoned property, so this guy issuing one makes no sense whatsoever. I guess he’s trying to claim that the vehicle is abandoned property? But since he’s not the lender, it means nothing.

    So there’s a minute extent to which I can understand their whole private vehicle no license plate thing, horrendously misguided as it may be, but their concept that they just get to acquire any item they please for no money or other consideration is among the most nonsensical things I’ve ever seen.

        You can upload a pdf to delivery apps too. You just have to send them a hand written letter with your account information and a declaration that you are going to “upload the file as a citizen of Earth”. Then just have that letter notarized in international waters and mail it off from somewhere in Washington DC.

      No. The SovCit told the salesman that their 1099 would pay it, and the salesman was like… “Ok, so, cash then?” And wrote up a bill of sale with 100% cash payment on it. This would normally show payments and financing info, but the SovCit I’m sure is insisting that their magic money will pay for everything. Since the SovCit has no idea what they are doing, and the salesman has no idea what the SovCit is talking about, the salesman just told them to go up a level to get this sorted out. You don’t make commissions on SovCit bullshit, so turn and burn, on to the next sale.

          No, this is just the “offer” on file. The dealership is giving them the paper to say, “Yes, you are approved at these terms.” No money has exchanged hands yet.

          It’s not signed yet, so they haven’t paid for anything. The sales consultant believes they’re actually paying in ‘cash’ (which for these purposes could mean certified funds or a non-CarMax lender) and gave them the bill of sale to show them the amount needed.

          Source: I work for CarMax, just not in Georgia.

      No, the bill of sale isn’t signed, it was just drafted. It’s not binding or anything. So he’s gonna send it to the CFO and the CFO is gonna be like “uh, okay…” and throw it in the recycling

    They’re calling the CFO a wizard while asking for magical incantations to put on their document to clear their debt
