This is the first I have heard of this. I had no idea some states charge property tax on cars. :-/I pay a one time payment every year for property tax on each of my vehicles. The Supra is $1100/year.
Every month a huge chunk of my mortgage goes into an escrow account for the property tax on my house. It's a lot more than $11,000 a year.
Hope that clarifies things.
In Colorado it's tied together with the annual registration and is based on the age of the car and original purchase price. The first year mine was around $1k as well but it's been steadily dropping. I'm not sure what it'll be this year but probably around $700. We also have 5% state income tax which hurts. Buuuut our property tax on houses is crazy low, I only pay like 0.5%/yr, so it mostly works out.This is the first I have heard of this. I had no idea some states charge property tax on cars. :-/
5% income tax is high? LOL, I wish mine was that low. Plus it looks like CO is flat income tax?

I can confirm E40 is a night and day difference I’m actually a little scared now hitting the throttle lolit's a crazy difference lol. record your jaw dropping pls
i'm still pretty new to this platform, right. most people on here have been tuned for ages, but i got tuned maybe three weeks ago, so i can provide you with some fresh feedback (tuned with Ecutek though).
friggin yes. it's a completely different car, it retains its every day drivability, maniacal smiles to the gallon, etc.
don't be afraid to ship it out-- do it with a reputable company, not the cheapest option

Got my last SPL parts on last night. Hopefully it stops raining now so I can attempt to get an alignment. Not sure if the car is going to make it up on the alignment rack with the splitter and diffuser. I will bring my race ramps but its still going to be close...
I personally don't understand why all shops don't have ground level alignment racks. The influx of lower ground clearance vehicles today should be a clue for shops to update their equipment. Just saying.
Regular use. I had it done on my 3rd year of ownership I think that's the recommended time frame. I dont have my manual with me to check.How often do the brakes need to be bled? I've actually never done this before on any vehicle I've ever had
Are those that are doing it, all people that track the car and not just street drive?
Heard that the AOS doesn't do much. Could be wrong though depending on modifications & driving conditions.Got an email from CarMax notifying me that it's officially been one year since I've signed on the dotted line. Vehicle started with 2300~ miles and currently sitting at 19,500 so that's a pretty good start. Surprisingly more livable than I expected, and around 23mpg lifetime average since ownership.
Most of the basic mods are either finished,
- Downpipe + Intake + Exhaust
- MHD OTS
- Powdercoated the two-tones
- Bimmercode
- Steering Wheel
Or currently in progress / very near future
- JQwerkz paddles
- Verus AOS
- Stud conversion kit
Hopefully if funds allow, I'd like to aim for flex fueling and a set of 18" squared wheels on an aggressive tire for a summer set.
I rarely hit full throttle bone stock! lolI can confirm E40 is a night and day difference I’m actually a little scared now hitting the throttle lol
