Yet you drive with the car?

The way I see it, I registered my car when I bought it. They know who it belongs to. Purpose of registration: fulfilled. Unless of course it isn't registration at all, but an annual vehicle tax, in which case I refuse to pay because they don't have the goddamn common courtesy to refer to it as such. Even if they did, I strongly disapprove of the way TXDOT is spending the money, as does the state legislature.

Once again, we are in total agreeance here.
I get jacked off too, considering that the actual registration fee, not the CTP (Compulsory Third Party) is bugger all. I pay approx $270 or thereabouts in just the fee of registering the car. No insurance ofc, that is extra, depending on where you live. Now, the bulk of the fee is made up of taxes for the state government. I think off by memory out of the $270-odd, $200-odd is tax. And god knows where they spend that, because one area that the money is meant for is roads, improvement of roads just to name one. And the roads are crap here. Absolutely no idea in how to build roads here.
Another thing that pisses me off is that in Queensland it is $200 dearer to register my car than in NSW!!! $200 !!!! I queried that once and was mistified at their answer: "That's just the way it is here, that's what we charge"!
Now, considering my car is only a V6, no modifications of any sort to the engine or rest of car, apart from power windows and an immobiliser, which is stock standard, and the car being less than 10 years old, what highway robbery!
