It was the Pinto that exploded on rear impact. Although a Subaru might also, will have to test the theory next time I see an Outback full on nuns.

My very first car was a 1971 Pinto. It had the gas tank that would blow up on impact. My brother totalled it when I was in bootcamp. Probably the best thing he ever did for me.

I'm right with Mr. JVB on this one. Hard to see how it's ok to draw one's own lines when it comes to being dishonest in transactions with others.

On PayPal, for what it's worth - instead of "Gift" use the "Payment Owed" option. Seller still gets the full amount and it's not a lie (you're making a payment and/or are owed payment for the goods you sold). Probably still not protected, but I feel a good level of trust honoring a request for (or asking for) "gift" or "payment owed" from the Net54 contingent.

I think PayPal is more focused on drawing from funds you have with them, the float (which is why the 3-4 business days to dump funds into your back account) and/or drawing directly from your bank account. They really only try to push back on you to not use the CC option (which is why you can never default to that). They don't make a lot on service fees - if it were that big of a deal to them, they wouldn't offer the many "personal" options they do and/or limit the number of those you can do.

I had a green '71 Pinto hatchback. Once had 12 people in it. Got pulled over for not signalling a turn. Kids piled out like a clown car. Cop couldn't stop laughing. Great memories, no explosion.
