I'm in RI for university but I have a Florida license. After seeing the roads here, there's no way I'm going to pay a property tax. Had my dealer register my BRZ in Florida because there's no property tax or inspections in that state. Why can't all states be like Florida!?

Florida doesn't have weather, though. The salt along with cold + hot temperatures wreaks havoc on the roads. How bad do you think the roads here would be without any tax?

Regardless, I think MA uses a quicker depreciation model for the excise tax. Next year's bill should be quite a bit lower. It hurts a bit when you're used to a $100 excise and get one for 5x that. At least my bike was only $15

Get a call from my dealer and they didn't even align the car. They said they don't have the alignment for the FR-S and will call me when they have the exact specs. So I have crash bolts on there with no alignment now..:|

Yea, I called trying to get a spark plug. Takes a week and it's 20$ a plug!!!

Call Subaru they might have the specs and print them off for you

All the specs are in TIS, every toyota dealer has access too. just a FYI

when i did my alignment, we used the specs for a wrx as a base. just wanted to get rid of the excessive toe and even out the camber

Did we ever determine a name for the new england owner's club and work out a logo/decal?

Chewie4299 · 04-08-2013, 04:37 PM

Just spoke with Mike at MMAutodetailing.com

Have an appointment on the 19th to have my windows tinted and clear bra applied to my full hood, bumper, and fenders.

Also having them wrap my mirrors and fender inserts in 3M DI-NOC carbon fiber vinyl.

About $1700 for it all.

Chewie4299 · 04-08-2013, 06:39 PM

Scratch that... I just scheduled the same with http://www.automobiliaautosalon.com/ where they'll use XPEL protection film instead of 3M

$1950
