Well my car arrived last nite to find out today from my customs agent that my car has been audited. Apparently this is "random" and is generated automatically by a "computer". So i asked the agent what needs to be done...

First customs wants us to organise an independant valuer to value the car..... and then I pay tax on that value (although I've been told that sometimes the value can come in less than what is declared I doubt this will be the case). Also I have to pay for the valuation myself.... why the f*ck should I pay for it since I have all documentation and receipts to prove the cost of the car... that is BS for one. So lets say someone finds a really good deal in Japan and gets the car here for cheap and then some d*ckhead goes "NO you can't do that.... since I have a shitter car than you or because I am inadequately sized you'll have to pay more tax".

This will prolong the time that the car sits on the dock in which case I again have to pay for the car sitting on the docks while the d*ckhead customs organise themselves.... and has anyone noticed how BS the tax is.... first all cars under $55K get taxed at 15% for customs duty tax.... then this amount is FURTHER taxed at 10% GST.... hold on.... isn't that tax being payed on tax? WTF?

Well now that I've vented I feel better..... has this happened to anyone else??

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
