Driving a luxury car with California plates called the real flex
Original: You know what’s a bigger flex than driving an expensive car with Montana plates in California? Driving an expensive car
A California-based commentator is arguing that owning an expensive car with California plates is a bigger status symbol than registering it in Montana. Wealthy Californians often register luxury vehicles through Montana LLCs to avoid the state's sales tax and registration fees on high-value cars. The comment is striking a chord with critics who say such buyers dodge taxes they should pay on a luxury purchase.
Why now: Montana luxury car registration as a California tax loophole is a familiar grievance and the post frames paying taxes as status, prompting agreement and debate.
