text: In reply to message55849: It's pitiful what we pay! you buy a car that is configured by a distributor and you can not really get what you want because of that and the package tiered prices. Sales tax, dealer fees, etc. then you drive it round, you pay a tax [license plates, license tags, drivers license, smog testing, gas and all the taxes on that. Boy were we insidiously, and slowly screwed!
