The rebate would have been the same amount, however big the state budget and surplus/deficit.

There's a (ridiculous) law that prevents the total tax collected from going up by more than a certain amount each year.

Spending more money would mean the same rebate, and a budget deficit.

You need to budget to pay four months rent upfront:
First month
Last month
Security deposit = 1 month's rent
Realtor fee = 1 month's rent

You may be able to avoid some of the last two, but that's standard.

It's usually 50-100 miles or so to get the ECU back into the right state. Importantly, this mileage has to be after the car is fully warmed up (so that the ignition/fueling etc. is in "closed loop" mode), so you'll need to do some longer drives, rather than a bunch of short drives.
