I believe that's an Autopower roll bar. So, you know, mass produced and something that should have slightly more engineering effort than a random dude in his back yard. But, apparently not.

Yes. You were not the only person I'm friends with that was there.

My comment was focused more on the car itself. I'm more curious about it than I am about the exotic stuff.

I'm surprised there isn't more cracking-down on illegal tax avoidance schemes like the Montana plates thing. I guess when you're rich enough, the rules no longer apply.
Cool on the track day. I feel like I remember seeing track-day posts from you more recently than 2012 but I guess not. I'd have to go through old photos to be sure, but I think my last track day was in 1999, not including karts. |

But, as with everything else, the rich are different. If you park your car on the street or in an apartment building lot (like me in 1998), the inspectors can find you. If you have it in a garage or off-street somewhere, it's a lot harder for them to ID it as a non-conforming car. |

My understanding on the trailer thing with Maryland is that you can register a trailer in other states as long as you have an equal or greater number of trailers registered in Maryland.
It seems that enforcement is not a big thing, but I've heard a couple vague internet stories recently about insurance companies not covering trailers or the vehicles/contents being towed if the trailers were not compliant with the statute. https://law.justia.com/codes/marylan...i/sect-13-402/ Quote:

On the Montana thing... I used to see a lot of MT and Oregon plates in AZ, especially on exotics. AZ also has a form of property tax on cars (although it’s called a Vehicle License Tax), and its based on the base MSRP of the car when new, then drops about 20% each year... I think OR was popular since they don’t have sales taxes, so helped on the cost when a car was new. Not sure how AZ enforced it... was probably pretty lax — although I wouldn’t be surprised if they added a violation of pulled over for speeding or another reason and you handed over an AZ license...
