If you itemize (and I'm sure you probably do) on your fed tax return, you can write off property tax, INCLUDING tax on cars.

I should tell Bef I need an expensive car for tax purposes :mrgreen:

There are advantages to living in MD, no vehicle property tax (just sales tax and registration (about $50/year? or so), same for boats.

Same in PA. But they get you in other ways like school tax and emergency services tax and a right to work tax from your paycheck.

Keenan no longer works at Acura of Memphis so I'm probably going go to back to Son's since Mike is working there and it's close. Mike just helped a co-worker with a set of Pilot key's.

Who has control over the we todd domain? Just an idea but since it's been dead for years can we get wordpress installed on it? I figure there are a bunch of us doing track days frequently that we could keep it updated. Just an idea, I've setup a few WP sites and they're cake, especially with blogging posts and photos from smartphones.

I would be 100% down to do the legwork for the sake of keeping things alive.

Craig has the domain but the A records are pointed to a Win 2003 R2 server I have in the data center. Say the word and I'll give you RDP access to the box and have at it!

I say let's do it. I'm down for helping contribute.

Jack- I have never paid vehicle tax before, so I have no idea what a baseline to go off of. It was $45/yr for tags without emissions (Mom's address) and $90/yr for tags with emissions (Dad's address). Sounds like I should go the TN route for another year...

Is apache on it :) ?

It does have IIS on it now, but go ahead and put Apache on it. I emailed you the RDP info along with admin credentials.

cool deal, I'll have to put on mysql and php as well... which I've never thrown any of these on a windows box before. It shouldn't be an issue though.

I would have no problem hosting it on one of my *nix boxes if it poses an issue.

Would you rather it run Linux? Name your flavor and I can reload the virtual machine. Personally, I'd rather have it be Winders. :P
