Wow, that is some expensive taxes just to own a fun toy.

I pay $40 per year for my personalized license tag sticker. Same tag, just another sticker in the corner. And now, I can get a two year sticker, so $80 bucks, and done for two years. We renewed out driver's licenses recently. Since I am over 65, the driver's license is free and good for 8 years!

At least insurance is reasonably , 2nd car, 10.000km a year limit
49 euro a month for 3rd party liability and legal aid


Its because of taxation that European cars have lower displacement.
a 5.4 Liter US V8 is even worse in taxes.

And on new cars first reg can be 15 grand or more, if they are poor emissions , high power and big displacement
a Cayman GTS with 4 liter block , 13.969 first reg 3.600 first year road tax, then 3600 every year after.

the 2.0 718 and 2.5 718S are actually very affordable in taxes
But I can't get my head around a 4banger turbo.. I would never be happy with that, no matter how much power they make.
Its N/A Flat 6 and a high redline, or bust for me

I have agreed value insurance on both my 911 and El Camino. I am "limited" to 5,999 miles per car per year. Never been an issue for me. I have pay right at two dollars per day for both cars combined, full coverage, and uninsured motorist coverage. Lots of illegals just drive with no insurance even if that is criminal. We have no safety inspections, so there are some real pieces of garbage vehicles on the road that should not be out of a junk yard.
