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

Bodhisattva: that's my area (St. Albans)

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.

All states have some form of registration and inspection system. In New Jersey and Del. You can do a 2 year sticker but most are just 1 year.

St. Albans in a nice town. Go to Pepboys and buy a new light cover and put it on yourself. It'll be a lot cheaper that way. Good luck girl. I'm a "West Side Boy" From Charleston.

I see so many POS crap cars on the road that sometimes I wish we did have vehi inspections..

FL relies on the State HPatrol to notice and pull over unsafe vehicles. I think they are doing a great crappy job at it..

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

But we do have Sharks..

Some counties have inspections. Pinellas use to and I'm sure they still do.

I think the low fees are due to the lottery, right? In Missississippi, I pay about $250 a year for my license plates. I feel like that's a deal compared to when my car was new. It's 4 years old now.

If your biggest problem is $200 worth of taxes and repairs you are doing better than alot of Americans.

BABYMUSCLE may be appropriate handle for you minus the MUSCLE part.

 

[BabyMuscles]

It's not my biggest problem, but I just thought I'd vent about it

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

carry on BM...
I know what you mean though, $20 here, $50 here, $130 here, and boom it is more and more...

I can relate, but I still count my self fortunate. Try to focus on something positive and breathe deeply...

What the heck is Ad Valorum tax anyway? Is that latin for "Meaningless Bullshit Tax"? They can only tax you on the purchase of your car once so they just invent some dumbass crap to tax you repetitively on your vehicle.

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.

my Ford Expedition (4x4) was $765.00 per year in CALIF...its the worst here...fucking state...
