General Car Conversation 2025 - Part 2
That Nautical Blue is nice. It's similar to BMW's Tanzanite Blue which we almost got on our 5 Series
Here where I live, real tax evasion with one's vehicle is very widespread. Many vehicle-owners here deliberately keep their vehicles registered in other states or jurisdictions.......you could probably fine or arrest many of them legitimately. They do this to get around the personal-property taxes that counties in Virginia charge each year by assessing the vehicle's KBB value on January 1 of each year. That tax is charged on vehicles, motorcycles, boats, airplanes, farm equipment, and many other things. We have that car tax generally because counties in Virginia are not allowed an income-tax. The PP taxes more or less make up for it.

I'm sorry that he had to endure this for (apparantly) no reason....or a trivial reason. And he obviously did not resist in any way. I'm glad he has got lawyers working on it.......he might (?) have grounds for a counter-suit against the State of Tennessee for false-arrest and intimidation.

Sounds amazing
Left my friends new house late after getting attic wiring done and looks like the snow season is here again, I'm fighting the temptation to use one of the D4s today for fun factor.
It's going to keep on snowing for a good total amount and I just know people are going to be crashing left and right. Always happens on the first snow here somehow, I'm convinced it's people not checking tire condition and forgetting how to drive

Ugh. HATE winter. At least our storm is mostly rain, the kids have a 2 hour delay this morning. At least I'll find out how well that Katiba product beads water and test out the new $140 wipers on the van lol
Let us know how the new products work!
