lol. Solid list. I forget about Boston market. Used to love it.

Yeah I’m getting it taken on a flat bed by AAA. Can you drive off if it passes inspection?

The vehicle has to be towed there for the inspection. You drive, they will fail you.

Big Y for me.

Costco and Big Y are at the top of the list. If you’re in the Danbury area Caraluzzi’s is also very good

Look at where the Connecticut river goes. All manufacturing in New England was almost always setup near a river for power and transportation (look further North in MA and you'll see the manufacturing trend continues further north into Springfield)

Once an area is established for manufacturing people tend to stay and continue using the area for the same reason.

Yeah I used to schmoook zeeeh Bowl there after class. Very convenient.

El Pollo Guapo. They have a few locations.

Plates DO NOT have to go back to the DMV anymore. Save yourself the headache and cancel your registration online. The DMV should automatically notify the tax assessor in your town that the registration has been cancelled but print out and save the cancelled registration receipt just in case. If you want to transfer your plates to a new car select “held by customer” when the website asks for the plate disposition. If you select “cancelled” or “lost/stolen” at that prompt I’m pretty sure the plates can’t be transferred.

Costco!!!!!

TurboTax or one of the competitors is the best way to go. It’s a guided walkthrough, it’s going to ask you a bunch of questions about your situation and the tax documentation that you’ve received to date.

It’s going to populate your tax forms, tell you what you owe or what your refund will be, and file for you.

Couldn’t be easier.

When did I ever say I haven’t paid taxes in 3 years?? The car tax was paid in Danbury last year (2022) by my father, Danbury site also confirms this, then I moved to newtown a month or two later. Also, I know I can register my vehicle still since I just renewed registration last week without issue.

Ugh there is this rotisserie chicken chain in New Jersey called La Rosa and it is some of the best chicken I’ve ever had

I think El Pollo Guapo also does rotisserie chicken, they were on the Berlin turnpike but might have moved.

Not true it’s been three years. He hasn’t paid taxes on his automobile in three years. Late fees on late fees. On late fees. Taxes are high in his area. I’d imagine 600 for the first year 500 the second and 460 the third. Most likely can’t register his vehicle either.

Doro Marketplace in West Hartford does an amazing rotisserie chicken.

In some districts, you just write to the sick bank, and they will give you some days. No need to ask somebody to donate— others have already donated to the bank if one exists.

Not a weirdo at all - Costco rotisserie chicken is the ultimate caveman fast food - hands are best!

Edit - we even pressure cook the bones for soup broth - very little waste, super tasty, and very cost effective!

Check and see if you're up-to-date with your car taxes; if you were registered in Danbury until last October Danbury would have taxed you. If you changed your address in October 2022, Newtown would not have sent out a bill yet. Anyhoo, check here: https://portal.ct.gov/dmv/vehicle-services/compliance-issues?language=en_US

just don't pay for it, its free if AGI under $73K

She's a first year teacher so she doesn't have any close relationship with her coworkers yet

East Harford still has a lot of raw material manufacturing, several buildings are dedicated to it. They were also making fan blades there when I left.

You could check Danbury’s tax database and see if you have any outstanding bills there, sometimes the dmv isn’t good about timely notifying towns about registration changes. If that is the case you could just give the tax collector a quick call and they will help you get the tax bill straightened out (this might be a good idea either way, they are generally pretty helpful).

And yes unfortunately everyone that owns a car has to pay the car tax, even if they are renting, since in this case the car itself is the property that they are taxing.
