was curious about a closer hotel location. Found a Howard Johnson (never walked into one) that's an 18 minute walk to suburban Orthodox:

When your hotel has bullt proof glass and charges by the hour - you just may not wanna stay there! I don't think I've ever stepped foot in there but it gives off that type of vibe

Aquarium is ridiculous expensive

Ticketmaster has aquarium tickets, so if anybody is going, its $10 back from amex, per purchase/per CC.

One of mine is leased. I was able to get it from the dealer much cheaper than any of the brokers.

Slightly higher because we pay taxes based on the vehicle price rather than the lease payment. For example, a $20,000 car for 36 months with a $10,000 residual will be ~$293/month (with 6% taxes) without taking into account the money factor.

Here, the sale price becomes ~$20,000 + 6% = $21,800 = $327/month without taking into account the money factor.

The only benefit we have is if in 3 years the car is worth 10k and you're leasing a new car, you can trade in the lease and pay taxes on $10,000 less dollars from the new lease.

Not sure how clear that is.

i understand. so basically if I'm not looking for a buyout option it would be cheaper to get a ny lease...CMIIW

Definitely. But you'll need to register it to a NY address, pay NY insurance, etc. Price that out before making a decision. But just from the cost of the lease NY will be cheaper.

And presumably, once you register in MD, it's all the same
