Sorry for the thread hijack but do you have Jon’s email address, if so can you pm me with it. I tried to contact him through Facebook but am not sure how to work messenger.
Maybe someone here knows the answer but I inquired about an i8 from a California dealer and they told me if I buy a car from them I have to pay California sales tax. This makes no sense to me being I did purchase my boxster from California back in I think 2006 but maybe things changed Basically the question is if I buy a car from Cali do I need to pay the sales tax or was this salesman just a dumb dumb |

Interesting. I barely had to ask at the Alfa dealer. They were HUNGRY.

It was a cold, shitty winter day and I was DONE with commuting in it. That and I slightly bent a rim the week before. And I was mildly depressed. I went in to buy a new rim, and left with a Countryman S. I'd never posted it here out of pure shame. I'll have to turn in my enthusiast card. On nice weekend days I regret this decision. During my 45 min each way commute every day, I do not. disclaimer: I wouldn't exactly call either car a "performance" car. |

You are still welcome here. There are a few of us auto drivers here, hanging our heads in cyber shame. But here nonetheless. |
