Must be an echo. |

Nope! Just the tag itself inside the Leroy Cannon dealer frame pictured in my earlier post. |

| North Carolina is going with the flat plates, starting with the personalized ones. I just got one. It does look fake. They claim it reduces the cost. Maybe they'll lower our license plate fees.........Bwaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa!!! |

Iowa just doubled the fees I pay on my VW's.
I put 3 of my cars into storage, to I would not have to pay the license fees. I was informed that if/when I took them back out of storage the fees would be doubled. From $10 to $20.
The ones I am keeping plates on, went from $10 to $16. |

Russ, I can see that you've never lived in California. When I moved there quite a few years ago, I registered a fairly new Mercedes station wagon and an older Mercedes sedan, both diesels. In Illinois, any diesel vehicle was a flat fee of around $15 if I recall. I almost crapped my pants at the California DMV when the clerk told me it would be $1800 to register both cars! |

| My 61 ragtop costs $69 to register. My 59 chevy flatbed truck is a bit over $1800 a year to register. If reg's only cost me 20 dollars per vehicle id have everything I own tagged! |

My wifes SUV is over $250 a year to register.
Used to be in Iowa, any car over $25 years old was $10, and any truck over 25 was $25.
My son lives in Sandy Eggo. I hate to see what his 28 ft motor home costs to register.
And they wonder why people are fleeing California. |

Why is the 59 chevy so much? Just get an antique about $50.00. If your in Kansas? |
