which blows my mind that there isn’t just one central place that makes plates since they’re all the same. Each state has to get their own??

 

Speaking of plates, MA now has temp tags

 

Do they really?

 

Yup, I have temp tags for both of my trucks right now

 

Wow.

Did you move back to Mass?

 

Yessir

 

Dumbass! JK

 

Just forked over $60 for the honour and the privilege of renewing the registration on the Cupcakemobile. Fuckin crooks.

 

Try NH lol they do reg every year and its more expensive than down in MA, even with MA excise tax included

 

I dunno about your coast but west coast plates are made by prisoners

 

So I have heard yep..

 

No JK needed. Why the hell would you move back to the People's Republic of Massachusettsstan?!

@jethro you get your truck back code free?

 

I feel like thats quite a deal? Am I off on pricing?

 

It's an O2 sensor. Getting replaced under warranty as soon as it comes in, possibly today. Weird, code comes and goes but they say a wire came off the sensor.

Yeah I don't know either but yes, to me that seems like a great deal.

 

That F350 does seem fairly cheap. I wonder if it's really a good deal or if it's low mileage because it doesn't run very well.

 

Shrug. The 6.4's make decent power, but if I remember right they usually develop some very expensive problems well before the 200k mark. And they get terrible mileage for a diesel; I've heard of them getting as low as 11-12mpg just driving, unloaded.

 

Yeah I don't know anything about them it just seems like a cheap price and it's clean.

 

meh the way I see it, if you have a normal house, work a normal job, and drive a normal car or two (IE: Tacoma, Camry, ranch, engineer....me....vs Porsche, Porsche, Mansion, investment banker), whether its vehicle excise, real estate, income tax, etc - it all evens out in the end. The way you can play it is with what you have - if you have 9 cars and a dinky house, you'll look for somewhere it's cheaper to maintain vehicles, if you have 9 kids and need a big house, you'd do the opposite, and so on.

I actually don't know, to be honest, I know that's the general connotation.
