[DeTomaso] NPC: Love your country

[Daryl Adams]

Thanks for that email, Mikael. I can't wait to show it to my dear, ultra-liberal neighbor. When we get into "conversations" on the state of the USA and she often says, "The US needs to be like Denmark!"

   Well, at least appreciate that you don't live in my country...


   Article in the newspaper, car section. Ford will bring the new Mustang
   here, sell it fully supported from Ford dealers etc. Good news. And
   then the article says that fortunately for local buyers Ford intends to
   price it low and sell many instead pricing it high and only sell a few.
   Even better news. And then they mention a price example: The smallest
   V8 with the Performance Package, the minimum any enthusiast would buy,
   price: $110-120k.


   Yes, here in Denmark a car has to include Customs (7-10%) and VAT (25%)
   obviously, and then up to 180% registration tax on top. Yes, we end up
   at up to 3x the normal price. My daily driver I bought used 1 1/2 years
   ago, a 2006 Cadillac STS V6, that cost $150k when new.


   And yes, my family and I have tried to move to the US, but apparently
   US Immigration prefers illegal immigrants on welfare, instead of people
   like us with proper jobs. Go figure...


   Mvh/Regards

   Mikael

   (The 180% does not apply to cars more than 35 years old, or I would not
   be able to buy my Pantera, Longchamp and Camaro)
