Connecticut is also usurious....   Registration (tags) are about 125 for
two years (they have a biennial system).  Then depending on where you
live, you get taxed on the car based on the mil rate for the town of
residence.  Finally, there are always the gotchas....  $20 biennially
for emissions, either $10 or $15 (can't remember) if you purchase a car
over 10 years old or is brought into the state for a safety inspection.
They also pulled another good one this year.  Seems they want everyone
to have the new style 'reflector' plates, even if your old ones are ok.
So, they have tacked $10 on the bill for new tags, which will have the
same numbers as old.  Of course, they've billed for them, but they
haven't delivered them.

Oh yes....  then there's the regular 6% sales tax for buying the thing
in the first place!
