Man, I thought Texas raped you on taxes...I just went and registered our vehicles in Colorado and it cost me $1200 ($800 for mine, $400 for hers)!! And get this...that's a yearly registration fee!! The lady told me it should go down $30 or so a year as the vehicles get older.
Also, Denver requires emissions tests, much like Houston, but they have to be done every two years for gas motors ($30) and every year for diesels ($60)...another $90 I spent today to get our vehicles registered, in addition to the amount above and $10 more per vehicle for a state mandated VIN search. Diesels run much cleaner than gas motors, so why do diesels have to be tested yearly? Houston doesn't even require emissions testing on diesels, and Colorado cracks down on them for some reason!
I don't know what the numbers mean, but my diesel scored a .01 at 50mph, and my wife's Trailblazer scored a .06 at 50mph. So, I have one-sixth of the emissions she has, but I have to have mine checked yearly and hers is every two years! There are some bass-ackwards lawmakers up here, that's for sure!!
Anyway, just wanted to vent that I spent over $1300 today to get our vehicles registered, and can look forward to the same amount every year to come!
