Can I vent?

I hate all this shit you have to do to keep a damn car legal. I got pulled over last night for an expired registration and motor vehicle inspection. The damn ticket is $130. How the hell do they expect me to pay that if I can't even get my shit renewed. I go today to see how much my taxes are so I can get my registration... $111 + $30 for registration. Can't get my inspection until I get a broken tail light fixed... $68 (for some plastic!?!)

The bus, subway and bicycling are much more environmentally conscious choices.























That being said.........I drive to work and it only 8 blocks away. IN my defense; it is due to the fact I come home for lunch.


Shit, you beat me to it Y_Lifter.

Good luck BabyMuscle. I use to work in WV (Chas.) and we would take bets on who could go the longest without getting stopped by the police for an expired sticker. That was before the days of road blocks and stiffer fines. I went 9 mnths once and this one girl I knew went a little over 2 years. LOL!!

The bus, subway and bicycling are much more environmentally conscious choices.

Despite that fact, they aren't the most practical choices. One of my professors yesterday was talking about the hazards of cars and all the problems that can come with them. However, in today's society, it's not feasible to try to go without your car. SOme people can do without them, I'll admit. But it's not the norm.

BabyMuscles - yah it sucks how they rape us like that. there is a fuckin fee for everything. i feel like once i buy my car, pay taxes on it, buy the license plate, then they should leave me the fuck alone. but no, every year you pay almost 100 bucks for a fuckin sticker for the plates.

on a more positive note, you can go to a car parts store and maybe buy yor own taillight and have yourself or someone you know replace it for much cheaper than $68. call around.

No subway here. Bicycle won't cut it. Bus... if all else fails.

Do most states have car taxes, registration and inspection? My friend from Michigan said he just found out he has to pay taxes on his car and he was surprised.

As far as the tail light, the local auto parts stores don't carry it so I've been checking with used parts stores and I'm going to call some junkyards.

FL only has tag/registration fees of about $40 a year.
No inspections, taxes etc..

But we do have Sharks..
