This comes down to a mentality difference between Nordic countries and the US mindset. The US was founded on people who thought Europe sucks and wanted to take their chances on a wild country half way around the world where you legitimately could get eaten by a bear.

It feels bad because you are a rational person that is capable of making rational choices, not letting a car manufacturer do it for you.
It the “You don’t need” crowd and the “Won’t someone think of the Children” crowd teaming up.
Volvo even says it’s considering using “smart speed control and geofencing” to force cars to slow down in school zones and near hospitals.
The valid reasons are simple.
Well from the mark you can tell that she likes to back in.
There is no middle ground on the internet.
That sounds a lot like journalism to me.
Not to say the HOA is right but where are the tire tracks the car left when it pulled out ?
Unpatriotic? You must be a Trump sycophant. What you are saying makes no sense at all since you know absolutely nothing about the person that owns it. You are just an angry little man who is boiling over with jealousy towards someone who is actually enjoying life. It is pathetic that you come on a site about cars…
None of us can begin to judge this person’s “character” and their contributions to society based on the license plate. Paying extra taxes is hardly the only or best way to contribute to society.
If these people “dodging” taxes are breaking the law, then they should be held accountable. But if what they’re doing is legal, then you’re the chump for paying taxes unnecessarily.
You’re mad that someone made a sound, legal, and more importantly, logical financial decision? Take that energy and try to fix the system if you’re this up in arms about it, instead of bitching on the internet.
As an owner of 2 Porsches that lives in Montana, I hate these comments unless we’re sure he’s not actually living in Montana... Just sayin.
Defend wealthy people? No I defended private property. Property taxes make one essentially and effectively a renter with the government as the owner. This situation hurts the middle class far more than the wealthy. So if I am defending anyone it is the middle class and lower income property owners.
As to sales/use…
It is to avoid sales tax. When you buy a car you have to pay sales tax, montana doesn’t charge people sales tax on cars. So if you buy a $500k car in say MD, where I live and have a LLC in Montana and register your car there you save 500k x .06= $30k in sales tax.
I have no respect for states that have property taxes on cars. A Ferrari doesn’t use any more road than any other automobile of its size.
Dodging federal taxes might be unpatriotic but avoiding a state trying to grab money out of your pocket for simply owning something seems like a patriot move to me. Why should I pay more in taxes because I bought a car with my money than someone who spent their money on burgers and strippers?
If he’s in CA, it’s probably for smog dodging, not tax dodging. I’m sure he’s paying plenty of CA tax buying gas for the thing all the time.
I’m going to go with real. I don’t think anyone would go through the trouble of registering their Fiero in Montana to avoid taxes:
