The ASQ sales tax issue . . .

[Michael McLaughlin]

In California they charge sales tax even if you're out of state. I 
bought an Audi there about a year and a half ago. I was charged 
California sales tax, but that amount was credited to my Washington 
state sales tax total when I registered it here. Worried me a bit, but 
it worked out. Of course, if I were in a state with no sales tax...
