My neighbor's cars are registered in South Dakota, my nephew registered his truck in Oklahoma. Pretty common to see out-of-state plates around here.

I have an idea. Lower the registration rates. Mrs. Eagle and I both drive 25 year old vehicles and we pay $300 fir for each vehicle every year. The registration fees are too damn high!

This is reason number 678,343 to get the frack out of Kalifornia.

The other day the Mayor of San Francisco was attacked by some of the San Francisco street zombies. We would not be surprised if the San Francisco Mayor now performs his duties via telecommute from..... well.........

Anywhere but Kalifornia

Montana offers famously friendly vehicle registration laws

No, they aren't. I pay $300.00 to $500.00 per vehicle here. Idaho is MUCH more friendly.

California auto registration costs are insane.

About $460 or so for a newish car for a single year.

I was paying about $80 in Florida for a two year decal.

I don’t blame anyone trying to dodge corrupt government anyway they can, even rich people. People not outraged by government spending and excess should STFU.

If I had registered my used Porsche in CA, it would have cost me about 3k/year.
As is AZ charges me 1k

Montana is also upset about exotic cars with California license plates.

Yet somehow they elected Kevin Costner governor instead of throwing him out.

There is a point of diminished returns when it comes to taxes and fees.

If you make it worth while for people to avoid paying you, they will do so.

You want to keep the amount small enough that the majority will pay.

Yeah there will always be the person who will do just about anything to avoid paying you because he hates your guts but mostly people will pay a reasonable amount.

The Left argued, and the courts agreed, that two people in a state that didn't recognize gay marriage could get married in Hawaii, and then their home state would have to recognize that marriage.

Since they opened that Pandora's Box, all bets are off.

There is a proposal in the Minnesota Legislature to quadruple the already high license plate fees. If the idiocy passes I expect to see a lot more South Dakota plates on Minnesota roads.

I totally get it. In Colorado, we were paying on average $1,500 to register new vehicles. Florida, about $150 every two years.

Do they mean that people are finding ways to get out of paying taxes? I’m shocked!

The communists in Maryland doubled plate fees this year. Now they are complaining because people are registering their cars out of state. My neighbor has New York plates and has had them for years. He removed the decals since they are many years expired.

Didn’t John F’ing Kerry (he was in Viet Nam) get pinched by Massachusetts for registering his schooner in Virginia, to avoid paying high taxes? Pretty sure I remember that.

It’s not JUST the cost. Looked hard at an imported Lancia a few years ago, and registering the car to a Montana LLC was the best option to save it from the 7K of power-sapping mods California Air Resources Board would have required to be emissions compliant. Here’s hoping Leno’s Law gets through!

Good idea for those that love to hotrod older cars.

The wretched Calif CARB makes your life hell doing the testing/inspection required for registration.
