    I told him that I would hang onto the check for about 2 weeks to make sure it clears, he said okay. Then I was talking to James and he told me to tell him to fuck off so I did.

    tell him youre going to hold on to it for a year, and then if it clears, you'll send him the wheels off the car.

    If you ever see something fishy like that just dig deeper into it. If the person is legit theres no reason they wouldn't be happy to answer questions about why they want to do things a certain way.

    Basically what happens. They write you a check for more then what the car is worth to make you feel good about selling it. Take some of the excess money from what they gave you to ship the car to bumfuckegypt. Lets say he gave you a check for $3,500. $3,000 of that's in your bank account, and the $500 you used to ship the car is spent. Well when the check is shown as a fraud and they take the money out of your account and your short the $500 cause you used that to ship the car your now in debt to the bank for $500 and out a car.

    I've read about this too many times on other forums.
    Naturally Aspired vs Forced Induction:
    This is easy, its like a handjob vs a blowjob.
    The handjob you can give yourself so its cheap and easy.
    The blowjob might cost you more, but the end result is much better.
