SharkTums Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 ^Yeah and in some states you'd get 2 years for $50...not to mention none of this 2 plates crap, or smog testing! Elissa "you're preaching to the choir!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterFanatic Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Try this one. When I moved from Florida to West Virginia (insert laughter here) I had to pay 5% of the value of the car to get my plates. // wishing I hadn't bought a new car before moving.

SharkTums Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 ^ouch! At least we don't live in Denmark...then Danish kids were telling us about the fees they have to pay! The Commission said 10 of the EU's 15 states tax new and used cars when they are purchased, ranging from a modest 267 euros in Italy to an astronomical 15,659 in Denmark. It suggested phasing out the fees over five to 10 years. The Commission said all states except France, which has high charges for toll roads, levy an annual road tax. This ranges from 30 euros a year in Italy to 463 euros a year in Denmark. And there are more! Poor Denmark! Elissa "$20,000 fees on buying a new car!"

crispy Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 :shock: well that puts it in perspective i just remember al the goverment people who were bitching in Cali cause Gov arnold repealed the tripling of the registration fee's so instead of $187 it would be $561, a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelizeIt Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 What are you talking about?! California Rules!!! I live in Orange County, and I have the Beach 10 minutes down the road, during the winter the ski resorts are only hour and a half away. The theme parks are open all year long! (None of this closed during the winter garbage) The weather is pretty good for most of the year. We have a great Governor who wants to make some positive changes for California. Overall I love it! I'm staying here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonY2K Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Interesting corrollation to FL: The theme parks are open all year long! (None of this closed during the winter garbage) - same in FL. The weather is pretty good for most of the year. - same in FL We have a great Governor who wants to make some positive changes for California. - ok fine, you win on this one!

BelizeIt Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 ^ Besides California, the ONLY other state I could live in other than Hawaii (To expensive/Far away) would be Florida. I have a friend who moved from CA to Jacksonville FL many years ago, and he loves it there! I personally, have been to Islands of Adventure more times (Three) than Disneys CA Adventure. (Which even with the Tower of Terror still disappoints) By the way, Robb Fanatic has Elissa E-mailed you about your attraction to the man in her life? Wives can be so protective of their husbands.

maliboomer Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ugh California.... Florida is better, especially for lazy people like me, its nice and flat. The theme parks are better then California, notably evil SFMM. Off-topic note: Since no else likes DCA, its mine! I'm its Jesus now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ugh...don't get me started about how much I hate California!!! The best years of my life were the ones I spent on the east coast. If it wasn't for my job in the entertainment busienss, I'd be back on the east coast in a heartbeat! --Robb "The only thing good about California is the weather...but even still I miss the first snow of winter..."

arrowfanman Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Robb has a job in the entertainment business? I am one step closer to a major breakthrough: Robb is a stand in for John Cleese. Anyways, California sucks (and so does the govenor...although, he is pretty funny, if anybody has been on T2 at Universal). What I would consider the best part of Cali, is that I am 35 minutes from hollywood, 1 hour from the beach, 1 hour from snowy mountains, 20 minutes from a lake, 45 minutes from the high desert (you can do model rocket testing and gokart/quad riding), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelizeIt Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 ^Yes AllisonY2K Ellisa has nothing to worry about? It always starts so innocently....A mild flirtation, and innocent comment. But the next thing you know you have a plane ticket to LA and a rendezous at Disney's Grand California Hotel and well...It looks like Elissa should have been worried after all!

crispy Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 yeah, spent a weekend in Lancaster, and I agree The only redeemable qaulity about Cali is the mild weather The advantage to New Mexico, is Mild weather (hottest its ever been in recorded history in Albuquerque is 107), no "set in" major disasters, ca-earthquakes, east coast- snow and noreasters, south- hurricains, midwest- tornado's we just don't really get any of that here, it snows a tiny amount, in summer it will stay about 85-95 degrees, and the worst thing you deal with is 35mph wind blowing sand in your eyes, thats about it It really suprises me that they were saying they neede the tripling of the registration fee to fully fund the Fire Dept, uh there is over 30,000,000 people in Cali, is has like the 5th best economy in the world, where is all that money California really is horribly mismanaged, and its not a Republican (pete wilson), or democrat (gray davis) thing, both those goveners did suck, and did horrible jobs, they should both be publicly executed, I've seen a little good fron the govenator, but we wil see. another thing that is cheaper, just to let you know what a great job grey davis did with the energy crisis, our energy bill(gas&electric) went from over $200 a month to about $70, Gasoline is cheaper, cause the smarties in the goverment there require a custom gasoline mix, we have ethonol in the gas here, but its a standard mix, not good enough for Cali, so you guys pay extra Don't get me started on housing, Our 85,000 home would be about 700,000 in Sanat Cruz UGGGGHHHHHH, I'm glad I'm gone Cali is a big huge money pit of a state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ohio: Plates: 48.75 in cuyahoga co. E-check: 20.00 the idiot at E-Check that almost blows your engine because he can't drive a manual shift on a dyno: priceless. Was not cool at all.

crispy Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well there is no emissions check at all, well where I live, in the actual city of Albuquerque there is and I think its about $20, but in Rio Rancho, no emmisions California had all there emmision centers redone, so emmisions there are a bit expensive, last one I got was around $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 i can't remember the cost to register the plates or what for my car. All I know is I believe is is under 100, and even for emissions, that's only 20 bucks. We also don't use emission stickers anymore, the state gave up on operating emission facilities and let the garages do the emissions. I dunno if Connecticut has a two plate law, but I know you are given two plates. Connecticut is a nice state to live in and the taxes aren't that bad.
