Just paid mine at $562. But hey, at least we don't have to worry about getting anything in return except lousy roads.

True--also in Michigan--but the deer isn't likely to kill you.

That's true - this year seems to be worse than most though. For example, if I want to go from SCS to George Matick out in Redford, there are some weekends where I'm forced to just take side streets and semi-major roads due to I-94 being closed off at Connor on some weekends, I-96 now being condensed, and I-696 westbound being closed off entirely until November. If anyone's familiar with (Pure) Michigan, Saint Clair Shores to Redford Twp with everything open is about a 30 minute drive with light traffic.

I'm taking so many detours and alternate routes, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm spelling my username in cursive just to get where I need to go Give me those Wyoming roads any day of the week

In SC, you can double that, thanks to the annual property tax.

Hell in VA, each year you pay property tax and registration. Come every June I will have to pipe out around $800. Annual taxes and registration.

I live in S.E. Michigan and when traveling west, I avoid I-80 like the plague. Son lives north of Missoula, Montana and we found I-94 the best, exiting at Fargo,ND and come through the U.P., much more enjoyable.

When I head west, instead of I-80 in NE and WY, I use Hwy 2 in NE which becomes 20 in WY. Way less traffic and much more scenic.

Just an FYI , speeding in Montana at night could get you a careless / reckless driving ticket ( wildlife on the roads ) in addition to the speeding citation. We have a friend that had his insurance cancelled for the careless driving ticket.
