The STOKE thread
Always do my rego yearly, and this year the Subie needs a timin belt!!!!! 
Oh no!!
If I drive my car the way I do at the moment - I don’t think it will ever need its timing belt done in its life with me!!
In an ideal world i would pay mine out in one go to (and you guys noted i did!!), but you know no one is perfect (expect obviously Cords and Mizu!!)
set aside some of your tax return for next year! It is definitely worth it!
Tax return is going on the flights to Nth Hem!!!
But yeah now I have broken the cycle I will prob be fine next year!
haha I’m hoping my tax return will be big enough to cover nthn hem flights, too. I got a bumper one last year so fingers crossed!
My Dad’s an accountant - come July 1 and I’m knocking at his door!!
I just do mine on e-tax. It is so easy!
Yeah me too - but he’s in the know of all the little fiddly bits and extras… I can’t wait to pay off hecs!! Sometime in the next 100 years

Yep, ya can’t beat a good accountant!!!!!
Their fee is tax deductible so the cost doesn’t seem that bad, and for those “little” extras that ya get back, its well worth it!!!!! I love tax time!!!!!
My rego ran out last August. Didn’t re-register cause it’s in for repairs and still is. Now need a blue slip (or whatever they do now) - no prob cause my mechanic can do it.
Worried about my vanity plates though, I didn’t hand them in. And I maybe fined. Re issue of the plates has gone up (but at least I can change the colour of them (they are currently purple). Previously they cost $108/year on top of the GS, Ins, and rego.
This week I found out it’s time to do my license! I get a 5 year. Don’t know what that’ll cost.
I can get club rego b/c my car is 43yo but can only do 10,000km a year. I do about 30K in winter alone.

I used to until i got an investment property - I agree with Mizu so much more worth it IMO

I kow which is why i searched high and low for one that had already got it done!
I do under 10,000 km per year. Used to have PAYG but with the weekend warrior trips it became not that worth it!
It currently has 120k on the clock I doubt i will still own by the time it reaches 200,000
Tax returns are heaps good! That’s how I paid for my board, worked out well! Rego is such a pain, RWC’s are such a waste of time, every day I see cars that should never be registered but are on the road.
my tax usually pays off my credit card…which then pays for flights somewhere, its a vicious cycle
