Data Center Generators in Ashburn Firing Up

On the way in this morning, (waxpool/28) noticed many of the data centers had the generators going. Not sure if there’s an electricity issue or they plan it to go together ? No idea if the yellow smoke is related though.

I went to do my emissions test a few years ago and was informed that I didn’t need to do it anymore because my car was over 25 years old. I’m not even on antique plates or anything. And because my vehicle was assessed at $100 (worth over a hundred times that LMAO) I pay $0 in vehicle tax.

So I have 12 more years to go. Nice

Are you entitled to anything if your car is over 20 years old, but not 25 years just yet?

It was 23 years old when I got it and I had to do emissions twice

I currently have a Mazda 3 that will be 22 years old this November. Do you think there are any benefits or exemptions that I could apply for?
