Ha got ya!!!!! You thought I got a $500,000 job didn't you! Nope, I hit a half million on my truck!

Its been a good one. I got to thinking how much work its done and I felt pretty good. Then I got to thinking how much money has gone through it in fuel and maintenance. Still feeling ok, cause it kept me making money. Then I thought about how much money the government has charged me for the privilege of keeping it on the road so I can contribute my confiscatory income tax and my mood turned sour.

Now these are rough estimates and probably a little low but here goes.

Sales tax title transfer when purchased $2,000 +/-
Tax on fuel used $16,000 +/-
Sales tax on Maintenance $2,400 +/-
Tolls and parking $250 +/-
Tags and Registration $1,125 +/-

Add in a little fudge cause I'm sure I missed some stuff and you get close to $22,000.

I got to thinking and recall that I bought this truck used. The original owner also paid sales tax when he bought it, and he paid almost $4000 in sales tax. I'm not going to try to estimate the additional taxes he paid on maintenance, etc, but my old truck has been a dang good money maker for our good old government!!!!!! $26,000 and still going!!!!

Crap, I just realized my truck has generated more in taxes than I paid for it!

So..... How much money do you think THIS truck has made for our government?



And, yeah. I'm still driving it. Put another 75 or so miles on it today.

What's a toll? I thought those little guys who hid under bridges and then jump out and make you pay were trolls!

Daisydog, my truck is a 99.

Run, I'm pretty sure the tolls are accurate because I have only driven once or twice on a toll road. I have to drive about 100 miles just to find a toll road. Most of that is parking.
