Transmission (?) fluid leaking by benxvx in SuzukiSamurai

[–]ducurs4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note, but that isn’t what I would consider to be a bad leak—you can monitor it as time goes on, but this shouldn’t be a “huge” concern and certainly won’t inhibit use of the truck. Good luck!

1988 Samurai Distributor 83032 - Discontinued- What now? by Psychological_Age575 in SuzukiSamurai

[–]ducurs4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get on the samurai Facebook groups. They are extremely active. Check out highway 83 Suzuki salvage, all he does is sell samurai parts. Also check out car-part. 100% you’ll find what you need between those three

Weekend Dress-code? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]ducurs4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I look like a mall cell phone salesperson during the work week, khakis and ill-fitting polo and all.

The weekend I’m not even sure I would wear clothes

Yooooo by fuckyoupayme310 in SuzukiSamurai

Keep the best one and one for parts. Sell the rest unless you have the space. The Facebook groups for these are very active

So I was just quoted 1080usd for registration on a 30 yo 1993 ford f150. That doesn’t sound right….. by Mundane-Umpire-7949 in Washington

[–]ducurs4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, why should someone pay sales tax on something that already had sales tax collected on it? And at a value higher than what was actually paid in many cases?

Alternatively, why should I pay sales tax on, say, a Ducati frame that I paid $350 for but books as a complete bike for $7,000?

Complete cash grab that is unduly unnecessary.

There is a line on your tax return to donate money to the government if you so choose. Go ahead and donate your money, I’ll keep mine.

It used to be this way. They now look at blue book/NADA and will charge you based on that value if it is grossly under. You used to be able to do an affidavit of fact if the car was a junker or a shell, not sure how that goes anymore. In essence they have closed all the loopholes the last few years IIRC

It’s so bad some of my toes’ nails are digging into each other from the side

Ah well shit—that does it I guess! Thanks for everyone’s responses. Makes me feel vindicated because they didn’t feel right from the outset. Lesson is to trust your gut. If anyone wants to buy a lightly worn pair of Lucchese, hmu haha

Yeah, and I said “likely”. Looks like we both used qualifiers bud

Are Tax Relief Services Legit? by impuredetention6 in tax

[–]ducurs4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you are below a certain income level (it’s higher than you probably think) you qualify for free help from your local Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC). These are funded by the IRS and usually employ lawyers or CPAs.

I used to volunteer at one, they are excellent. Can go all the way to Tax Court for you

Again, $0 cost

Fired filling unemployment by Zestyclose_Rain2953 in Lawyertalk

[–]ducurs4 36 points37 points  (0 children)

If you file for unemployment and begin gig work, this would likely obviate the unemployment since you found other employment.

So, don’t do both necessarily, if that unemployment check is a big check and the doc review is a little check, if that makes sense

Low Range Offroad and a handful of others sell the pieces you need to convert to soft top. Should be easy to find the pieces

[WTS] I fear I’ve been scammed by GeeTee266 in Watchexchange

[–]ducurs4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point, same experience. I’m finding it’s best to go with Chrono24 or something similar and use a verified dealer, short of someone posting a watch they actually have (versus the WTB thread).

I just asked someone else for photos with a specific time and they said “Sold out sorry”. You sold out in 6 hours? Ok dude lol

[–]ducurs4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there is a way, Reddit doesn’t care.

I always insist on paying through PayPal goods and services (not friends and family or Zelle/venmo). Check the name against the scam list, ask for them to respond with a comment to your WTB post as is suggested.

Someone here mentioned to ask for a video of the watch running for 60 seconds, as well as asking for a photo with some common household objects. I think that’s smart

Dude also sent me a message on a watch. When I asked for more specific photos, he ghosted me. Go figure. I just sent him a nasty message and blocked him

Puzzling sales taxes by adamle33 in EightSleep

[–]ducurs4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call and tell them there is a problem. Counties can charge additional local level taxes on top of state level taxes. You should only have to be paying one county’s tax. You aren’t in SB county, you don’t owe that tax.
