ARGHHHH!! Sore subject! Lived in Los Angeles, learned painful reality of like $500 - $600 per car per yr plus SMOG test fees, then moved to Texas & took great delight in paying only $72/yr per car flat fee, no SMOG....but then, uggggghhhh, moved to AZ 15 months ago & realized they're just about as high as Calif....
Then coincidentally transferred registration on hubby's FJ and traded my car for a new 4Runner in the same month....MARCH '08.....don't EVEN ask how bad THIS March was! Note to self.....don't get 2 cars registered in same month in AZ ...oh and let's throw in the appendectomy/hospital bill too .....OUCH! Oh well, at least I'm alive.....and my VX is in December. :grinp:
