The $36,000 apparently is 25% of the MSRP that the NCM collects for the IRS. I doubt they are in the 25% tax bracket so they will get some of that back. 6.25% sales tax is the $9000.
Looks like the MSRP was $144,000.

I agree that it's a still a great deal on a C8 Z06, but what's up with having to pay for something that you won?
taxable income, whether, cruise, horse/dog track, tv game show!!

New 1099-MISC Threshold for Prizes

Previously, the IRS tax rules required promotion sponsors to collect a completed Form W-9 from each prize winner and then to issue a Form 1099-MISC to the winner and to the IRS when the prize value reached or exceeded $600 in a calendar year. Under the new law, the Form 1099-MISC reporting obligation will generally apply only when the total value of prizes awarded to a recipient in a calendar year reaches or exceeds $2,000. As a result, sponsors will not have to collect Social Security numbers from winners of prizes valued at$1,999 or less, nor will they be required to issue a Form 1099-MISC for those awards.

Same- I am feeling beat. I know its prob because of the freaking long winter...body isn't used to being on its feet so much...itll come around. I hope. LOL

Our garage has been a mess off and on for MONTHS! Now it's a mess again- painting the corvette only thing on the floor...it's a bit of a challenge...may work on it today...home alone, first time in awhile.

It is a beautiful day here today. Going to dinner with the corvette club this evening.

@frankbicknell the "open to all" meeting is the 20th- are you interested in joining the club?

Thank you for the thought. That is a little far for us, although I am still pondering. I want to go to a couple of other events like the one at the Air force Museum. I did join the Ft Thomas club which is 10 miles away. They do not seem to be as active as others.

Is this the club?

^^^That IS the club. They are very active. The organizer of the cruise up asked if you may be interested in joining. Check them out online.
Oh-the cars and coffee is this Saturday. Starts at 9a. Air Force museum.
I was so bummed to miss the Buds event. I need to work on my aversion to road dirt on the vette.
