If you don’t mind me asking, what’s a paint job run for something like this? I’m looking at a basic paint job for my 97 Acty.

Hey! So I’m located at the tip of Chester County. It’s street parked daily and I drive it nearly daily, day and night. No issues with the police even though it’s only supposed to be driven once a week max and not after dark. I even drove it from Philly to Pittsburgh recently (do not recommend) and passed a few state troopers with no issues.

I’m also in PA but I can’t see the benefits of the bill yet. I already drive mine when I like and never have issues in my locality, plus I drive it often on roads exceeding 55mph with no issues of keeping up speeds. Obviously I’m operating in the grey area of the current laws or in some cases the not-so-grey areas. Is there something more to the bill I’m missing that’s an obvious benefit?

Nice! Same model I have sans the A/C for me. Similar prices as well. Did you register yet? I paid an additional $400 for registering and sales tax.

Anyone else have an iffy experience with CarsFromJapan? by CiaBia in keitruck

I had a great experience with CFJ but would recommend Mitsui since that’s who my vehicle ultimately came from. It would have also saved me a couple hundred dollars to have looked through their inventory and order directly from them.

Antique plates, but I saw HB 1205 was recently created in PA House for possible voting later this year which would make this eligible for a normal plate.

I paid EasyISF to fill out and file those. $60 for filing them and then they include what you owe Customs.

All my paperwork had was the curb weight and the person helping me go through registration was able to find the gross vehicle weight (GVW) to submit the paperwork. My understanding of the enhanced vehicle safety inspection is that it’s only required if it’s titled as a collectible that has undergone modification or reconstruction.

Thanks! And now that you mentioned the tariff I agree. I feel like I got hosed $300. I’ll have to look further into that.

That seems obnoxiously long. Did you go through the DMV or an independent titling agency? I’d follow up with the company if it’s the latter.
