Last Friday I drove the VX to work since I needed to tow the trailer home. A Stafford County Officer was kind enough to hit me with the blue lights to inform me that my tags were expired (OOOPPSS).

Luckly he was more interested in the PUV than in writing a ticket so I just got a warning.

I went online to register it over the weekend. Sticker shock. Our registration jumped by 50% since last year. The good news is that you can register for 3 years now so I won't get caught again till 2011 but it did set me back a cool $215.
