Hey congrats man. I know you've been looking forward to this day since you told us you ordered it.

Are you gonna change your handle from "Rennteam Pimp & Guru" to "Rennteam Soccer Mom"?

Enjoy man. I have to say, your environmental taxes are really crazy.

What did you do with your 986S? Did you sell it?

It's not environmental taxes. It started out as a "registration fee" and should supposedly cover the maintenance of our roads - but actually it's just another way of ripping us off and paying for social benefits.
There is also a Green Tax on the car every year, on the CRV it's around 500$.
The Green Tax depends on which pollution class ur vehicle belongs to.
Toyota Prius has a Green Tax of close to none, if I remember correctly.
On top of that, we have to pay appr. 900$ a year to use a "yellow plate" (cargo van) car as a private means of transportation.
Then add Diesel taxes, insurance tax etc...
It's nuts.

No, I kept the Boxey.
I'm keeping it...forever it would seem.
I cant get enough for it anyways - if I sell I will lose $$$, and in 2-3 years the car will only devaluate slightly, so I might as well drive those kms myself instead of giving some buyer a free ride.
And for the $ I could get for the Boxey, I'd have to doublee that to get a new one...and that's just plain silly.
