Didn't feel life turning on the tv, so I ended up watching a video of a guy that bought a car in Florida(Coco Beach) and drove it back to Oklahoma City without a license plate. According to him and the police who pulled him over, it's better to drive with no plate than the wrong one. Paperwork was ok, so they let him go.
I think it's basically impossible to get a temporary tag, unless you're a dealer, so that makes it difficult for private party sales.
It depends on the state system used. Here we used to have plate-to-owner, so if you privately sold a car you took the plate off before the new owner drove off. In turn they were supposed to go to the DMV with the paperwork and get new plates. If you wanted a vanity plate they gave you a paper tag until that arrived. Now it is plate to vehicle, so the plate always stays attached to that car.
I have not tried in NJ. Usually just drove on the plates I already had if I could not get to DMV first. I think it is legal too. Like insurance. You get a certain amount of time to switch over coverage.
Hey everyone. I don't post often but wanted to share my recent purchase. I happened to be browsing Facebook Marketplace last Sunday night and found this 2007 Acura TL Type-S with 123k miles. Drove it the next day, purchased the following day after our local mechanic checked it out. Scooped it up for $5k. The local mechanic didn't find any issues, but did recommend a few service items due to age/mileage (timing belt, drive belt, water pump, etc). I ended up calling an Acura dealer and their price was competitive so had quite a bit of service done. Hoping this car lasts me a few years!
Lunch at. BBQ joint in Junction City, KS. Really good
Yuuummmm...I miss me some good BBQ. Have fun on your drive home.
BTW, I know you're not going to be home, but I'm taking my neighbor to the Ft Mitchell Mercedes dealer (Wyler) to pick up his new CLA, tomorrow. Kind of looking forward to seeing him take delivery.

Hooray! That's a nice car for a nice price. Congrats! You should get another 100K miles out of that.
Posted over at the Acura forum regarding all the info I've heard about the 2021 TLX. Should be out in the May-ish/June-ish time frame.
I still have my TLX (closing in on 30K miles). It's going to need tires sometime this year. Outside of that, it's been superlative to drive, maintain, and so far, no warranty work. Pretty cheap to operate, too.
But, on a whim, I did add a Stinger GT to the fold at the first of the year.
It's very simple, My s s check isn't big enough to pay for Medicare Parts A & B, so I have to kick in the rest. I get a federal pension as I was a Civil Service employee. That ridiculous 1984 Windfall Provisions Act basically says sure, you paid in but now, we'll only give you a fraction for your s s payment. Totally ridiculous and unfair, but not going down that road even though it's plain unfair to us retirees! No amount of logic can make this right in any way, shape or form!
I think when you work for the government you are exempt from social security payroll tax, so that’s why your benefit is less. I seem to remember that because my parents worked on a Navy base as civil servants.
Congrats, @JustinS ! I had an '05 TL in Abyss Blue, great ride.

The Tahoe has been purged from the fleet. I sent out requests for buy bids via KBB, TrueCar, Vroom, Carvana, Autonation, and maybe one or two more. The local offers were all around $1k below Edmunds trade-in value, which is probably fair considering they're making a blind offer. A couple of them followed up via email or text to say they could probably beat the offer if they could see the car and confirm its condition. I picked the closest dealer (which did not have the highest bid in the first round) and told them I'd head that way. They tried to feel me out for how much I was seeking, but I just said I wanted their best possible offer and that their previous communication implied the first offer I was sent was not it.
At this point, the Tahoe confirmed that it was time to put it out to pasture by refusing to load any XM stations. The AM/FM, CD, and aux worked fine.
Met the KBB guy at the dealer, he took the keys to get photos, and he came back and I only had to wait a few minutes before they offered about $900 more, which was within spitting distance of Edmunds trade-in value. We signed the paperwork and I picked up a check this afternoon. A relatively painless, easy process.

That may be true. My co worker forgot to put the transport plate on a car I was driving and I drove it on the interstate for 50 miles past numerous troopers without a problem. If there’s nothing to read, the plate reader can’t nail you.

Bad news, got a letter from Social Security. I owe them for the difference between my Medicare and what s s pays me monthly. So, from 10/19 to 12/20, looks like I owe around $660 and some change! I only get $101.45 from s s now which they keep and my Medicare Part A & B is like $144.85, so I owe them the difference. That guy at work was totally wrong and Uncle Sam wants his $ by 10/20...or else! Got the letter Friday so winning that $210 comes at a good time, so it'll go towards that bill. Still think it sucks that I can't get 100% of my real s s payment and not the fraction I do get! Why do the repubs like to "f" with blue collar workers income anyways? Really sucks, big time!!!
Sorry you got nailed by the bureaucracy but I think both parties have had a hand in sticking it to us wage slaves.

As I’ve shared before, my wife is awed with the Q5. It is the subtle details and overall refinement compared to what she’s driven in the past that has really impressed her. She says she’s spoiled now and there’s no going back.
Nice to hear how much she loves her Audi. Any chance you might get an upgrade?
Another car I like the looks of is the new Volvo S60....
Those Volvos have some of the nicest interiors I’ve seen but check out their reliability ratings. Some of the ones that the company bought rolled right off the truck and into the repair shop.

I think in some states like NY you actually have to own the car and have the title before you can apply for a temp plate. Makes it tough to buy in another state without waiting a long period of time.

After just crossing the six month mark with my S60, I’m still in love.
It does everything right for me. Super comfortable, great features, and tech. Ride is just soft enough for me and handling is more than adequate. The T6 powertrain coupled with AWD is plenty quick.

That’s a shame. As a federal employee I would have thought you would get full boat medical in retirement. I know that NY state employees get full retirement medical. I would have gotten at least my Medicare A&B covered by the school district except they had some tricky rules that screwed me after 27 years of employment. Gotta read the fine print I guess.

I haven’t had any repairs so far.
Same with my V90. The T6 is really growing on me actually. Not that I ever disliked it in any way, but its character is very different than the supercharged V6 in the Audi. I'm starting to appreciate it the more I drive it. I'm curious as to how extensive the Polestar tune is, but I sure like the way it behaves in "Dynamic" mode.
don't knock Hyundai until you try it. The new Sonata is seriously stylish too.
I've had rental experience in the past 2 years with a Sonata, a Sorrento, and a Sportage, and I'm not a fan of Hyundai/Kia driving dynamics. It's like no matter what you're driving, there's enough assist in the steering to turn a Sorrento, even though the smaller ones don't need that much.
I thought the whole point was fed employees did not pay into SS, which is why you don't get to collect it. And get other pension instead. There are SS offsets to working people too, if you have other income. A bit of a convoluted system, but there are at least reasons for it.
how long it last though is a mystery now. But people paid into it, it isn't some kind of freebie.
Feds that started after ~1984 pay into SS. Any fed that is old enough to be on the old retirement system is a fool if they're still working their govt job!
We need more data. More than 1 car, new car (I assume, as this would be a stimulus ideal), domestic car, can we add our own money to make it work?
Regarding Nissan bailout, I hope that would be a Japanese government thing, but with Nissan having operations in areas maybe sympathetic to the current regime, it could be an American government thing too.
So let's say the government decides to give you $100,000, but the catch is you have to buy a car, and you have to spend it before February ends, and anything you don't spend is given back to the government (in typical gov't agency fashion).
What are you buying?
Honestly, was just asking the question for fun and to see what you all liked and would spend free money on.
I think if it was an actual government program, they would say a hard limit of one vehicle so that they had a greater chance of getting some money back. For sure I don't think they could stop you from spending more in order to "make it work."
But to be flexible and more fun, sure, get as many old clunkers as you wish with your $100K. Just remember you need space to park them all (and insure them all $$$).

I've been driving nothing but turbos or superchargers since 2006. Total cost to me if you include a recirculation valve install is less than $425. Over almost 15 years of averaging about 15K miles per year. Add another 10K/year for my wife.

In a year and a bit I turn 65 and then have to deal with a bunch of changes too. My employment pension drops but that is supposed to be offset by the federal govt pension I am supposed to get starting then. I will remain skeptical until I see it. Worse is that some of my benefit package changes too, particularly prescription drugs. Right now I have good coverage but that ends at 65 and I have to join the public senior's plan at that point which is far more expensive and nowhere near as good in terms of what it covers. Grrr.

I'm a little embarrassed to share but at the auto show I sat in what I believed to be an S60 and thought to myself it was way too big. Then I went to the next vehicle over and sat in that and that was much better but I wondered what it was since S60 is their smallest sedan. Here I sat in the S90 first. Oops.

@sandman6472, The WEP definitely hurts, but what also matters is the SS is calculated on you top 35 SS earning years. Since you didn't start paying in until 1984, there are some zero's in the average, unless you retired last year.

I live in Kansas, but I bought a car in Okla. City a couple of years ago. They put on a 30 day temp. tag. The large date on the tag was the start date, then in small letters down below it said expires 30 days from above date. Don't know who came up with that idea, but within a week back home I had been pulled over twice and advised that my temp tag had expired. I had told my wife I knew it was going to happen when I saw that dumb tag. The cops who pulled me over just assumed the large date, which they could read was the expiration date. I told them I would have assumed the same thing. We had a good laugh, they apologized and agreed the tag was really stupid.

But the BMW has an msrp of $59k with some options.
Even a basic BMW 3-series now has an msrp of c. $44k, but amazingly it does get very good hwy mpg of 36 even with its 255 hp standard engine. But BMW says that even leasing that more basic model costs almost $400 a month even with c. $5000 due at signing. Makes a used BMW perhaps attractive?

I think I might have mentioned this before, but the 16-hour course that really happened in about 6 hours was more about personality identification, and identifying your stressors in life.
The young kids (all male class of about a dozen guys), probably had their first exposure to something similar to DISC or Myers-Briggs personality tests. It was more a class about learning about yourself, and what might be causing you to drive 100 MPH versus actually being a driving or traffic based course.
Turns out, there are stressed out people out there. One young guy, made all of us tired going over his work schedule. Dude had 3 jobs, one with Fed Ex, one with a stone/tile store, and one with Ross. He had very few hours in the week to get some sleep. Now you know why he might have got caught doing 100+ on the way home from work in the middle of god knows what ungodly hour. Better to get 3 hours sleep than 2.
He was planning to quit the Ross job. Sounds like he was a Security/Loss prevention worker there and it was the most stressful job, and the least pay.
