Geez, I thought this is what our excise tax was supposed to be for? Speaking of which, I never was able to figure out how the state figures the valuation of cars that the tax is based upon. The excise tax on my 85 308 is 17.50 per year. The excise tax on my 89 BMW 750iL (with 214,000 miles) is 175.00 per year. I guess the excise tax thing isn't working too well since new(er) cars are taxed more heavily, and no one is buying new cars.

Enjoy your "change". Rich Massachusetts may consider a mileage charge By GLEN JOHNSON - 11 hours ago BOSTON (AP) - A tentative plan to overhaul Massachusetts' transportation system by using GPS chips to charge motorists a quarter-cent for every mile behind the wheel has angered some drivers. "It's outrageous, it's kind of Orwellian, Big Brotherish," said Sen. Scott Brown, R-Wrentham, who drafted legislation last week to prohibit the practice. "You'd need a whole new department of cronies just to keep track of it." But a "Vehicle Miles Traveled" program like the one the governor may unveil this week has already been tested - with positive results - in Oregon. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jSFVVWawIJRrWzFM1ICyVaVAy9 3wD96D9QHO0 _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options, please visit: http://lists.ferrarilist.com/mailman/options/ferrari/coyote%40acme-ltd.com Sponsored by BooyahMedia.com and F1 Headlines http://www.F1Headlines.com/
