    Another Step!

     



    Took another step with the car today. After 11 years, the car got a title here in Massachusetts! Now if I can stop traveling for work, I'll get time to go and register it!

    A big thanks to Henry Rifle! Your willingness to share made things so much easier for me! Thank YOU!

    Now I get the pleasure of paying sales tax and standing in line for plates!

    Congrats! That is indeed a milestone, even with the pain & hassle of paying the tax!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Yes! It's been a long time coming! It felt good to drive it out of the state police garage with her new set of numbers! The trooper that did the inspection, called me over and handed me a shop towel. With a questioning look on my face - he said, "rub here", pointing to a spot on the firewall. He the said, "I'll let you do the honors!" HAH! So with him looking over my shoulder, I carefully place the label onto the car! Now I need to hit the rack.. I didn't sleep a wink last night!

    How do they figure sale price to calculate sales tax? Just curious because VA said pick a number! The $135 my dad paid in 1958 should do!

    Every time I go to get a title for some car I hold my breath, and when they actually hand it to you the feeling is so great. There is always that painful wait while the clerk goes back into some hidden office to do God knows what, and you think she is going to come out and say "rejected !"

    That little piece of paper in your name sure does make life a lot easier.

    Hey Mike - congratulations. Long and difficult travels, but finally.

    Now - at least one photo with the car on a highway with plates.
    Oh and that sales tax - in MA - tears for that (my final sales tax bill was $119 )

    I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug

    HMMmm.. somewhere is a thread.. oh, the small block ford forum..... Randy started it regarding headers I think it was .. I'll search for it and save it as a link to post here a little later. Basically it turned into a 3 or 4 way conversation between Randy, Bobby Dave and I ( sometimes some others).. I'm rambling so I'll stop here. Once I find the thread I'll post a link for you. 8-)

    Looks like they calculate the "large" items value from your reciepts (proof of purchase) the total becomes your sales tax burden! 8-(

    Amen to that! I was sitting in this little cubicle on a wooden bench for almost an hour... the anxiety was deadly!

    "Yuppers, always a huge step when the car is declared legal and all the paperwork is complete!!!! " it certainly is Dave S.!

    Dave \ IC2, aren't you ever satisfied?!?!? My feet haven't hit the floor after getting the title done! I'm not sure my damaged heart can handle the attaching of license tags! HAH !!!

    OH and that tax payment I expect to include 4 characters before the decimal point! The joys of living in TAXachusetts!!
