They aren't required generally, but I would do one. At the least its a CYA in case the guy doesn't register it in his name, or some other dumb shit.Quote:

^^^As Danno said above. I always talk a photo of the bill of sale and the buyers drivers license. But I figure most people are pond scum so YRMV.
In hindsight, this is a good idea. I sold a car cheap before moving cross country, dental months later got a call from a garage asking if I had any intention of paying the tow and storage fees or, if not, could I please sign over the title.Quote:

In Colorado, you are definitely supposed to remove the plates, they stay with the owner not the car. Don't know if that is universal or not.
Since he said it was a neighbor I was assuming there was no worry about scam/bad checks, but if there is, meeting at the bank is a decent option.Quote:

I mean I'm pretty sure it will be good, so no worries right?
In some states the plates stay with the car, but in the vast majority the plates are assigned to the owner. I've always pulled plates off of cars I've sold. Although every car and trailer I've bought private party they've always left them on.
It’s guaranteed funds so if you trust the person to not give you a forgery you can treat it like a normal check. If you’re worried about it I’d meet at the bank and do it there. Or take cash.Quote:

if it tastes like chocolate, ya got scammed!
It is possible to get scammed with a cashier's check, but I don't think that's very likely with a neighbor. Unless you're getting scammy vibes or the check is from a bank that you're unfamiliar with, I would just take the check and wave as he drives away.
But hey, chocolate!
Thanks yeah that will be the plan. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something important.Quote:

Ice Otzi, look at your state's DMV website. It'll tell you what you need to do, provide you the forms you need, etc. Some states require you file a notice form, which relieves you from future liability.
And drop the car from your insurance policy.
I didn't know him before but he lives about a quarter-mile away and we know people in common. I'm just gonna take the check and wave as he drives away as Danno said. I read the DMV stuff and didn't see a mention of a notice form, but I'll double check that. Good heads up on the insurance, I'm sure I would have gotten around to it but I hadn't thought of it yet. Thanks.
I get that otzi doesn't need to do this, but another reasonable way to handle this is to ask for a cashier's check and then call the bank to make sure it is legit. Of course, look up the number yourself rather than getting it off the check. But I have done this multiple times and banks have zero problems confirming the authenticity of a cashier's check. That is their whole point.
Does anyone else read "skaredshtles" as "shared skittles"? Am I dyslexic?
I also assume he's a more generous version of Beast Mode.
I've got a question that I think I know the answer to but here goes. There is a job opening in another city that my partner is interested in and qualified for (she's pretty unhappy with her current situation). The problem is that we aren't planning on moving for a couple years. I've encouraged her to apply and see what happens but she thinks that if she has an interview and turns down the job due to timing that it would reflect poorly on her in the future so she is hesitant to apply now. I tend to agree but I'm not sure. Anyone have any advice or experience with this type of situation? WWMD?
If she knows people at that job (as in, she's being recruited), she could let them know in advance that while she's interested in the position, this may not be the best timing for her, but she's happy to meet and discuss the options.Quote:

Have a IT question. My kid's laptop died and it looks like the mother board is toast. If I source a same model and plug in the original hard drive will the "new" laptop work ? There is one small hiccup, the replacement laptop I'm looking at seems to have a slightly different processor. The original laptop has a Intel I5 vpro but the replacement has a Intel I5.
Just trying to do this in the cheap to get him through high school.
Sounds right. Would there be a good way to approach them and explain that she'd be interested in a few years to get more info about the job (responsibilities, pay, etc.)?Quote:

I assume this means she doesn't know anyone working there currently. In that case... any mutual acquaintances between her and Company? If she's on LinkedIn, I think that used to show if you had connections who listed employment at Company. (I deleted my LinkedIn account years ago...) Or via Facebook -- look up people at Company, see if she has mutual friends? And I assume other social media platforms work similarly.Quote:

Should work- as long as the system is running Windows 10 (not some older version like Win 7) and hard drive was not encrypted (with something like Bitlocker). Windows version 10 is pretty forgiving on hardware and have seen it even work and detect new hardware for things like a different video card...Quote:

Always. Glad it’s not just me.Quote:

Metal fork.
Chopsticks
Just have her say in the interview she is really interested in the job but not sure if she can move right now and is trying to work it out. If she can’t take the job just blame it on you not being able to transfer, etc.Quote:

Doesn’t every toaster ever have a bottom tray?
I was a chopsticks or fork guy - whatever was handy - until I moved in with my now wife. She brought her magnetic toast tongs to the partnership. Has anyone here ever zapped themselves via fork in toaster? I thought it was a bad idea every time I did it, but sometimes I was too lazy to walk 3 feet to get some chopsticks, and I never actually got shocked.
