Ouch!  In "Taxachusetts" we have an excise tax on cars annually for
infrastructure i.e., pot holes, bridges etc. If I remember correctly didn't
we pay this tax when we purchased the car in Maryland? Wasn't it a one time
tax? Anyhow, I've been here since 2010 now. Still do the emissions thing
annually except my wife has an old Volvo that is exempt now. Everyone here
drives a beater i.e., old Toyota pickups. Good used cars are a hot commodity.
I was just in Los Angeles a week ago and I noticed that everyone was driving
a science fiction BMW, Mercedes or Audi. Not to mention they drive like
lunatics on Ventura Hwy like nobody is watching.
