    Maybe not Powerball odds but that's some luck.

    The lot on which that house it situated and the bungalow on the corner just beyond used to be all one huge, glorious lot just a couple of years back. I was sad when they subdivided, but while I shun many new builds, I quite like that house.

    The first time I've seen a pulling truck get all wrapped up this past weekend. The sled took out part of the trucks box.

    Full pull, and he turned to head to the parking lot.

    Took a photo of this, because I didn't realize Ferrari made a minivan, but it was clearly parked by a Ferrari owner.  Parking lot was full.

    That parking lot isn't full.  I think you could squeeze one more in sideways in front of that van.

    ^^^ I miss the days when most tire valve caps had a slot cut in the top, so you could unscrew the valve stem and leave two flat tires (two because the a**holes probably had one spare).

    Occasionally I roll across some high roller automobiles that clearly would be a buy for several here.  Below is one of those sightings and for the record-not in the wild.  But if interested, shoot me a PM... =)

    2022 812 GTS. Rosso Maranello with diamond turned wheels, Bordeaux and Nero Alcantara accents, carbon fiber inside and out, 789 horsepower  6.5 liter V12, 211mph top speed and with only 1,135 miles from new, $644,900.

    Go baby, go!

    Well... according to their website:

    "WELCOME TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST CORVETTE DEALER
    What makes us #1 in the world for Corvettes?  A great selection, nationwide shipping, and we sell our new Corvettes at MSRP."


    I guess all the other dealers are a little greedy and add a "market adjustment value" premium (or similar bs) to the sticker price.

    Still find it odd,  Nashua is pretty much a nothing hole compared to big cities. Maybe there's good donuts while looking around

    I learned this back in '85, preparing to buy my first "decent" car (the Honda Prelude v2 was all the rage back then), by driving just a bit west into Indiana, could find it MSRP, while in Dayton there was a $4,000 premium.  Same situation in Albuturkey, Grand Forks, and here in Ogden.

    They’re less than an hour outside of Boston, no sales tax.  Maybe that has something to do with it.

    Thanks @HeavyG as I was/am too lazy to do the research.  He!! of a marketing/sales format they have and it appears to work.  Good for them.

    you have not lived here in a long time it appears.  mass collects the tax from nh purchases, especially on cars where its easy to collect it before you register it. they are greedy like that. even if you buy a vehicle in nh and move to mass 6 months later, you still pay that tax to mass. income tax is the same, it goes to mass if you live in nh and work in mass, it goes to mass if you live in mass and work in nh. they seem to have this covered

    Oh I thought that might have been the case, actually.  I was just guessing at what might provide an explanation.  I'm sure proximity to Boston helps, regardless of the tax issue.
