That buying a beater car thing won't work until SHTF... Just try and buy a car out of state and get it registered in that state!
I had to pull that stunt in Arkansas, and in order to do it i had to lie and create a address and them a post box because they wanted 30 days to MAIL me plates! I was stranded in Ar because it takes 30 days to get plates, and then you drive around with NONE
I must have had the same look a puppy in trash has when he gets caught!
It works just fine. I've 2x bought vehicles out of state. No, make that 3x with my R1150R BMW.
1. A detailed Terry frisk would be required to find it.
2. My retired military ID card and CCW usually firmly establish me as a good guy, and the cops are only worried about the guns. (I've avoided several tickets this way)
- but I've been through the disarmament and checking process several times with the cash... Nonissue.
3. Money, like on this trip are dividens from one of my business that I withdrew 3days ago and can easily prove were gotten legally by serial number.
Are you still expecting to be where you told me Friday? Just curious.... If so I hope you do well.. Better weather till around weds,,,,

I just mailed them their plates when I got home.
Again, nonissue.
I did a used car dealer there were no plates on the test drive, I thought I was taking a risk. had i know what I found out maybe I would never have gone back! (joking)
That truth is i would not have gone very much further with the bad ECU. i went just under the TIME that ecu dead shorted and needed a 1/2 hour to cool and go that much time again. Royal Pain.
Great info thanks for the links. I am glade in the 2nd video the cop was black or that would be a very real other problem too.
I always wonder why we need cops and why they should be paid for with taxes. They are as bad as the criminals. and i suspect most of them were criminals. There ain't a lot of difference.
In any case when cops ask me my personal business I lie just like they do.
When asked if I know why i was stopped even if i do I play stupid and say no. I would never tell a cop if i had any money, and I would never carry much in my wallet.
Anyone who thinks cops are around to help them is a fool.
It is quite the other way around. We are here so cops can help themselves.
Cops are not criminals, there are a lot of good police officers doing their jobs - we had a time when there was one marshall per thousand square miles and there were a lot of people dead at the hands of all sorts of no-goods. Not everyone is born to die in his boots with his guns blazing, as much as Hollywood would like us to believe otherwise. A lot of folks are not interested in running around armed to their teeth on a chance that some loser with nothing to do will come after them. These folks pay taxes to have the service police provide.
Are there incompetent cops? Sure. But, are there incompetent doctors? Sure too. Are there intentionally bad cops? Probably. Are there intentionally bad doctors? Probably. Lawyers? Yep. Accountants? Yep. Tailors? Yep. Floor cleaners yep?
Why? There are good, bad, rotten, competent and incompetent people among every walk of life. It is what it is.
I do take my people as i find them, but if a cop is no more than a badge pusher it gets him no where with me. I find most of them are common liars and thieves. As you say it is what it is.
They are the onse who forged me this way lying to me lying in court and calling my wife names. Maybe one day you will be arrested and tried for nothing more than points and framing...
Maybe a bad guy will come in the night and when you call 911 the desk jockey will tell you the Police are not your personal body guards like they did me and you will SHOOT like I did...
Maybe you in laws will be stabbed to death on Easter like mine were, and the cops did nothing.
Just last Spring with my wife present I stopped the van so very cold wet looking people in the towns local State park could walk across the road. Stopped i asked if they were warm enough as they didn't appear to be and the camps looked like homeless. Some one of them called the state police who came and found us far from that site and were going to arrest me for asking too many questions.
The win win for me and a cop is we just leave each other alone. If they don;t need me I won't need them. bank on it, and twice so far I have sent them packing because i was simply armed.
The first time in the dark of night my dog woke me up. with a 12 ga i answered the door and saw a hand gun pointing at my great danes head. That did it and I stuffed the 12 in the guys face before i knew he was a cop. It's good thing he didn't kill my dog because i would have blown his head clean off. I came damnned close too.
They just plain left tail down and later in day light i called.... The chief who had issued my MASS permit was all about 'Oh Sorry wrong house'
later in the same house I came home from upland bird hunting and the cops again were on the steps and i simply got out of my truck with the 12 opened and they saw that and left never said a word to me. My now x wife was smokin. These cops lied to her saying the dog had been out chasing geese, which is BS because 1 he was chained out there and 2 because before i met my first wife that dog was a guard dog on a farm and knew better than to chase live stock.
Cops are just high paid welfare recipients. That's the way it IS.
right at home, right where it belongs. my retirement is my business, and it doesnt include the goverment social security.
travel money? I have not seen anyplace that will not accept cash.
I dont expect to have many home repairs, as concrete homes dont have many problems like a conventional home does.
1. Why does your retirement money "belong" at home?
2. A properous business is terrific as a retirement asset, but isn't it good to have a fall-back plan in case you have a disabiling illness and you can no longer operate your business?
3. When you say that your retirement "doesn't include Social Security", do you mean that you will refuse to apply for it when you reach the age when you qualify to do so, or simply that you are not counting on it because you do not have confidence in its long-term solvency?
4. Do you have no worries at all about what can happen to large amounts of cash in case of fire (even concrete homes have things inside them which will burn), floods (some people in and around New York City never thought their homes would flood), theft, and the like? (I recall a police officer telling us in a neighborhood watch meeting about a Chinese woman whose life savings - somewhere around $60,000 - were stolen from her home. She had thought her hiding places were good enough, but in the end they were not. Apparently, many Chinese immigrants have a deeply ingrained mistrust of banks based on experiences in China; in this case that irrational fear rose up to bite this woman big-time.) Perhaps you are just more clever than everybody else and so you feel invulnerable. Well, good luck to you. Sure, it's true MOST houses don't burn, MOST houses never flood, and the majority of houses are probably never broken into, but I can't see taking even those chances with large amounts of money - say, more than a few thousand dollars.

what I meant by my business is that my retirement is nobodies business other than my own. I dont worry about fire burning my cash, a nice safe does help.
not invulnerable, just dont trust goverments or the bank. I lost money during the saving and loan crisis, i got 10 cents for every dollar deposited. they say FDIC insured, they just dont say how much you actually get back.
Interest isn't very interesting these days either..... And then the account can be wiped out via Id theft, which happened to me twice less getting wiped out... because i don't keep more than 200 in the back..... I lost that much twice but the bank covered it since it was their fault, and shop n' saves fault, and it hit millions of people.
IMO banking is very risky...... On my USA tour bike ride my dam bank kept shutting off my gas buys because i was out of state! before we left i went there in person to tell them we would be out of state. That worked fine to Cal it was coming back east where it didn't and we called and called and all they could say was to come in to file a form.
Oh well yeah sure will just as soon as we get into NH, Dam right, and dam well did and then they wanted my business and i told them a dollar short and a day late you lose! and I killed that account. There is other banks...
Today's so called interest like i said is more of a joke.... You want my business try 17% or better.. Anything else is just wasting my time and playing games.
A few years back I did a little math and found a silver quarter was worth $3.38 and so was a gallon of gas.
To me that was interesting since I am old enough to have bought gas with a silver quarter when gas was 27 cents a gallon.
Since then the paper note with further math has been reduced to 2 cents worth of value.
If what you say works out by math, then the dollar IS dead and it is all just Govt subsidy, and worthless other than used as TP.
In turn this is getting to be something like colonial north america which had no currency, and we used mainly Spanish Silver coin when silver was available. The meaning there is that USD is junk money, which it is and has been a very long time base value is what the feds say is it, and their word is all that backs it up and their word is worthless.
I wonder if in the next 4 years USD will be declared total junk. It stands a very good chance of that. If so it would be something like Mexico where it takes 16 trillion pesos to buy a loaf of bread
- It wasn't my conculsion. I saw this on TV a few months ago.
- 'a quart of wheat for a denarius (penny) three quarts of barley for a denarius' - Rev.6:6
A penny was one day's wage in Bible times.
And a few years ago I saw on TV when the Agri-show said
there was then 5 cents worth of Wheat in one loaf of bread.
