Re: [MBZ] IT HAS BECOME A COLLECTABLE CAR THIS YEAR AND THEREFORE SHOULD BEGIN APPRECIATING IN VALUE WITH TIME.

So what I'm hearing is I need a ramshackle cabin in the middle of Nowhere, WA that has a property tax of $5 a year, but offers me a "Home Address" then I can plate the car with "Only drive this once, maybe twice a year plates" permanently ... and drive as much as I want here in Indiana. :) (Which
