Geez Stan!! Thats right I forgot that little stick it to you forever excise tax. ......I dealt with that for 20 something years....they even tried to charge me excise after I moved up here the 1st year....Thanks for the memories!!
You haven't got to the best part. In MA they charge a property tax, know as an excise tax, it is based on the original value and only depreciates for 5 years, before it stays at the same value forever... Just for the honor of owning the vehicle in MA. 
Excise tax is annual

No kidding? Too bad I got a ticket (from some a** who was on construction detail or something while I scooted by in traffic, sent it to me in the mail) about 6 weeks ago for emissions failure. My fault for not getting a "fresh" failure sticker with the right color sooner. $50 fine is nothing, but the draconian rules in this state make emissions failure a points offense...will cost me about $2k over 5 years due to owning 3 cars...unless I drop collision on the GT...

Maybe that's true until 10/1...I hope...although, I have taken many steps to correct NOx issue, anyway, I will probably just keep a low profile until 10/1.
