I’m sure its still wayyyyyyy cheaper than Kansas. I just retagged my 10 year old Dodge Ram and my 2 year old Saturn Vue to the tune of $400 for the next year. Bastards.

Trade ya—when I bought my Jeep in April of this year, they were nice enough to prorate it for me until my next birthday in July of 2009. $680 for the town, another $120 for the state—for 15 months, for ONE car.

Good Grief. I think it costs about 26 dollars in Arkansas. I feel your pain.
