Man alive I just got my tabs on my license plates

[iam4u2nv]

Holy cow those are expensive.. how much are plates or tabs where you live. I paid 130 dollars on my Saturn L300 and 120 on my Grand Am GT... OUCH....
That is crazy.

Whats a tab?

 

[amdskip]

$78 for me in Illinois for the basic no special design plate no matter what vehicle.

It is a sticker that goes on the license plate so you can drive it another year. It is sticky as heck and impossible to move if you stick it on an angle.

 

Tab

We call them registration stickers

$50 a year for my University of Florida specialty plates...

EDIT: Just checked, its $50.

I paid $54 a week ago, that was registration and a new drivers license. Could have gotten new plates, but I hate the new Ohio design, so I'm holding off till they come out with a better one

A Tab

Both my motorcycle and car tags are $95/year. $95 for a motorcycle tag is crazy, but it must be paid.

Bah! Mine were $278 in Illinois because I tow every once and a long while ( helping people move and such ) and my GVWR is 19000 LB's.

CHECK OUT how many plate designs we have in florida

You have a selection of plates and pay less. I have a BLUE PLATE with white letters... BORING!!!!
and I am paying a fortune. What is that money for anyway. The roads are so bad that it is like driving on a cheese grater so what is this money doing.. That is a fortune to drive for one year.

130 dollars is more than 10 dollars a month for the right to drive my car. :|

Think of what it pays for though. Without the fees and taxes, you would be driving on dirt. That has to be hard on your suspension. And driving is not a right by any streach of the imagination.

I think it is $35 for 2 yrs,if you renew it over the phone, or online, it used to be free! I am in MA.

rich

Ha, me too. I haven't the slightest idea...

And if you think Florida has a lot of customizable plates, check out NYS. You can pick any professional sports team including Bowling, Lacrosse and Nascar. Plus there's all those special plates like different areas of the state, degrees of military use and loads of others...

Edit: Man, didn't even notice it was a secure link, ha...
