Get "over" it, Roger.Your My 57 D500, with personalized plate costs about $60.00 per year, or about $5.00/month. And: what's WRONG with having a person pay Sales Tax (excuse me: Transfer Fee, or what ever its called; it equals your county's tax rate; here, it's 7.75%) ON his purchase-price, of a car? The registration rate does go down, over time. And, oh-YEAH; here in CA we CAN drive our cars year-around! Jim Hoekendijk just took his 57 D500 out of its half-year hibernation. Rog, I think you also failed to mention Prop 13, which I'm sure that you benefit from. Your annual property tax can not rise more than 2% I've owned my house since 1988 (paid-off its mortgage last year) and the taxes on it are $1,200.00 . I own an undeveloped residential parcel, in Sarasota County, FL, & the tax rate on THAT puppy just went up to $1,600.00 !!!!
