Am I getting burned? What are you paying for your annual car registration?

[bob32268]

I believe I paid $75 to register my 69 Charger as an antique in Pa. , this is a one-time only fee, good for life.
Tks,

Need to check the 67 wagon but it's similar to yours Greg and Randy. However...my 04 Dually is just under $500. It's 20 years old. Ffn criminal. Another reason its for sale.

Hellcat California Plate Sticker $858 a year.
Hellcat Florida Plate Sticker $97 for TWO years.

It is stuff like this that makes this state look absolutely criminal. If Florida and other states also have roads and bridges to maintain and Police/Fire/Medics to pay for, how are they able to get by with lower income taxes and lower fees like this? Why the hell do we have to pay so much?

 

[ckessel]

Hmmm. Can you say free medical and education for non citizens? How about Green energy? How about a high speed rail line from the capitol to LA? How about free drugs and syringes to addicts?

How about a high speed rail line from the capitol to LA?

Tell me more.... About a rail line that will never be completed.... That even if it were, I would never ride.....

While your at it tell me about how my $$$ are supposed to maintain our roads... I travel all around the country, in spite of our mild weather we have some of the worst roads in the country...

 

[ckessel]

Yeah, the rail line thats STILL not completed. But certain companies have enjoyed making a load off of it courtesy of the taxpayer. Can't wait for the next state election.

$154 ? I couldn't get the clerk to spell out if that was an annual rate or what.

Did that include dinner and a little kiss afterwards. I hope you kept your socks up. Can’t you register online. You don’t have to speak to anybody then.

We have annual fees here for 're-licencing' costs. Over 40 years old and a vehicle is classified as Vintage - re-licence fees are only NZ$48 yearly for my Red Wagon.

The red licence plates I own for life....and they cost me NZ$900 15 years ago. The same plates would now cost around NZ$999

I still own the original '44O' plates here - bought new in 1987 at a whopping cost of NZ$230 ...probably should sell them and make some money

I’m in Cali too, I don’t know what the Coronet will cost annually since I’ve only paid the first reg when you transfer it etc and I don’t have the bill in front of me buuuuut:
1972 Ranchero is $176 (I think there is some pick up truck BS hidden in there)
1977 Corvette about $155

It sucks.

Completed? Completed? Was it ever even STARTED?

From what I have heard, the rail project was one of the stupidest concepts ever. High speed transit running from upper central California but stopping 20+ miles short of Los Angeles.
There is a small mountain range between the central valley and the Southern valley and they can't run a train through it.
This means that if you want to use the train to go to L.A, it goes like this:
* Drive your car or get a ride to the train depot.
* Ride the train from Sacramento or the Bay Area southward.
* The trail STOPS around "Mettler" or "Wheeler Ridge" which is at the end of the San Joaquin Valley.
* Rent a car or get a ride up and over the "Grapevine" into Southern CA.
OR ......
Drive your own car the whole way.
