Don't get me started on taxes :cussDonnysan said:A month or so back, McDonald's was offering a Viper as one of their prizes in the Monopoly game. Cool! I thought. I'd love to own a Viper.
Here's the problem: Viper = $80,000 (about) and that's what the IRS will say you got as "income" from the contest. Thank you, Mr. Taxpayer, please pony up $20,000 in taxes, and be sure to put a few more thousand aside for the State of Alabama Dept of Revenue. Ouch.
Granted, you have an $80,000 car and any bank would gladly loan you $20,000 against the clear title, but still. Kinda blows, dudinit?
