On buying a new vehicle part III

Or the end result of a long day at the dealership.

Yes, I am pleased with the new car. I'll be honest though, I'm still a bit disappointed to not have my first choice but what am I going to do? Now you may think that it's sheer vanity when you see all of the pictures that follow, but rest assured, there's a method to my madness, which is that...

If anything should happen to the car, I'd need a photo record for insurance purposes. Though I hope I'll never need to use these pictures for that reason.

We don't have sales tax here in NH but the government gets it's money anyway. They make it rediculously expensive to register a new car. The woman at Nashua City Hall said that the cost of registration is based on the list price of the vehicle and that the rate is eighteen dollars per thousand. She said that it decreases every year and it takes five years to get to the lowest rate (three dollars per thousand based on vehicle list price). And of course you have to renew the registration yearly...
