As an alternate to the panel van + storage, I would also consider daily driving a Forester XT or a Magnum SRT-8 as long as it had a front brush guard comparable to the one on that truck.

Yeah, I paid a 36% tax rate to register the white Miata.

WTF is wrong with Texas. Here in SC it is $11.85 for property tax on any vehicle older then 95. Then about $30 for the license plate.

How much do you pay annually in South Carolina state income tax?

I think, I really do, that you should copy the Escalade from Zombieland for a tow vehicle.

I have to think FL is even less as there is no presumptive value. If I paid $500 for a $1500 car, I pay sales tax on $500. We also do not have any emissions testing to pay for. No state income tax, of course. But, you have to live in Florida. So... there's that. |

My bumper wouldn't look to good after a cow, although probably a lot better than my truck without it.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks he can do better...

^My 1st car (not that exact one). Excellent power, good handling (for what it is), super comfy seats, reliable. Sold it for $3700 with ~125K on the clock. Get one with a cap and the "club cab" for your guns and shitt. If the bushings are stock they'll need to get replaced, and if it's got the V8 the mpg's will suck ass. If you get a 4.7 V8 ('00+) then they'd be a bit better. I really liked mine and If I ever need another truck it will be on the short list. |
I think he is set on the pedovan so he can sleep in it and :rofl:
