This article is baloney. It used to be that when you bought a car for $100 that you would pay the registration based on what you actually paid. Now they calculate it
based on something else. So we are paying much more now for every vehicle that we register. If you have two or three vehicles you can easily spend close to $500 a year to register them. Its almost to the point and probably past the point to be affordable anymore for many people.
Indiana is that way as well. Pay based on some age of vehicle formula.
