this was his second or third registration on the vehicle. The value on his was at 1 million. One item he had in there that caught my eye real quick was the custom installed satellite system. Full high speed internet and multi sat feeds with autotracking. The thing also expanded just about every where. Bedroom, living room, and bathroom all expanded out. All of that stuff was in the vehicle when ordered. I was told he was some kind of oil consultant and spent all of his time in that vehicle and towed a small compact car. It was his home and office that moved with him around the country for about 11 months out of the year. He then came back to denver to be with the family and then back to traveling again.
The wrecker is the same one that they send out after semi trucks. I hate to think what a tow would cost by one of them. I guy I know used to work for a company that all they did was the big tows. He said all those tows were prepaid before they were dispatched. That to me says very big bill. jimt On 10/22/04 2:35 PM, "TJ Hannink" <tjhannink@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > That sound like it was the sales tax on the coach when he bought it, not his > annual registration fee.
