One catch included in the bill, is an increase in regisration costs.

I was so excited that I missed Tom73 beat me to the info.

Where can I find this information "officially"?

This will stop me from putting plates on my son's Firebird.

One of the few good things about South Carolina -- no front plates.

Wish Missouri would do the same, but chances of that are pretty slim.

Any idea how much the registration costs increased??? Just curious. Texas' registration is very reasonable compared to other states, or Republiks (of Ca. ).


Here's hoping it gets through the senate
