People in Rhode Island are weird , it takes time to find people your compatible with as there are so many spectrums of folks here . Just depends what your into . Most of the apps have some strange people on them / robots / or just people looking to hook up .

Because its an excise tax letter which is why the registration is blocked. The excise tax is being phased out and anyone that even owns a minor amount of $$ gets these. Mine said exactly the same thing. When I called the town hall an automated message said "Due to the volume of calls regarding recent mailings about registration blocks there may be a long wait"

I didn't think I needed to explain limo tint, but I'm not young, so you younger people might call it something else. In the 80s and 90s "limo tint" meant very dark tint on your car, like they have on limousines 5% or less light. Not that you were talking about actual limousines.

I've been getting my tires 🛞 and service done in Seekonk Massachusetts at New England Tire. The people who work there are great, honest, hard working and don't try to sell you stuff you don't need. I've been comfortable sending my Girlfriend and her Daughter there by themselves and get the same results, honesty. Plus if you get a front end alignment, which you usually need if buying four tires, you get the forth tire free. They also have a great road hazard warranty for only twenty bucks per tire

Since you called, go down there with the letter. You also may be able to check online with this with your Town's Web page. I literally just had this happen. I owed 3 cents and I had a Tax block on my car. Town Hall removed the block for me but was a pain in the ass. Seems like they are sending a lot of these letters out.

Snow tires aren't a necessity but the type of rubber is also better at reacting to both going and stopping in colder weather as well as more channels to displace water and snow so it's ideal if you have space to store your summer tires, also with having both you extend the wear of both sets of tires. I really like my general altimax arctics for great snow tires at a good price. On my Subaru it was unstoppable and they're great on my VW. Everyone thinks AWD is the savior but FWD on snow tires will usually be better than AWD on all seasons and also your stopping will be better. If you've never tried to come to a stop in snow or dealt with feeling ABS kick in you really should find an unplowed parking lot and slam in the brakes to get used to what it feels like, you will be amazed how long it can take to stop in snow.
