Okay, I'm not going to start a fight here, or at least I'll try not to. Washington State has had some political catharsis lately while its public roads have deteriorated miserably. In their greed, the usually intelligent voters here made the mistake of ditching a progressive MV excise tax that increased with the value of the car (and of course the motorists' ability to pay), and we have been scrambling to replace that revenue so that roads can at least be maintained! It probably won't go anywhere but a rogue legislator just introduced legislation that would tie MV taxes to vehicle weight.

Folks who drive Porsches will see the beauty of this proposal, and folks who drive the largest pickup trucks and SUV they can fabricate will miss that beauty. Of course, it makes far too much sense to "get legs" in our legislature, so all this is probably neither here nor there, but I thought I'd pass it along as a bit of news that should be interesting to sports cars folks.
