Every time I come to Monterey for car week, I'm reminded of how wealthy America is. There are a lot of ridiculously wealthy Americans and many of them are low-key not household names you'd recognise immediately.

Most of the high valued cars are either registered in California, New York and many super/hyper cars registered in Montana - there's a good reason for this.

You’re not wrong about the regional concentrations… I was on a two-lane road in northern NJ recently and spotted a 599 Fiorano in the oncoming lane… the mid-engined models are a more common sight. And I’ve spotted F40’s in the wild twice (years ago), one also in NJ and the other somewhere around Los Altos or Palo Alto. Didn’t realize Montana was such a hotbed, but with the empty roads it makes sense.

im sure its for LLC/tax purposes - probably no "luxury tax" there

LLC privileges, yes. You don’t have to live there to register a car so it’s LLC registered. No state sales tax, low reg fees, and no emissions.

Isn't there also a stretch of highway outside Bozeman that effectively has no posted speed limit?

Is there?? 👀

Idk about that.

Ah sorry my bad, I was thinking about their "reasonable and prudent" rule which was replaced with fixed limits in 1999.

IMO That could be any remote road anywhere at 3 am. 😄

I don't even know what a hyper car is but I hope it can time travel

It prob just spies on you brah

Every car spies on you unless it comes in a match box

pre 2000 for the win

It should! But it doesn’t. 😞

Why Montana ?
