Hagerty usually has pretty well thought out and researched articles. This one pretty much sucked. Seemed like the author did some quick research from the parent's basement and blew out the article. Spent more time on graphics than content.
Question on North Carolina - he says that the car is taxed under property value. He gives an example of $167 .87 property tax every year based on a $10,000 value. So a $40,000 classic car has to pay $671.48 a year? Really?
I'm from California and agree that the state leaves classic cars alone. Author cites smog inspection for classics 1975 or newer - it's 1976 or newer for the few owners that might matter to.
Roads around here are pretty good, but somewhat traction limited. My request to have VHT applied in the intersections was ignored.
