Where do you keep your car registration?

[Rockstar]

My registration is stored in the car's center storage box. I do have a LoJac and kill switch in car. The other security feature I use is the address on any documentation is not my home address but my mail forwarding street address.

I had a GPS for my car once. Neat gizmo those GPS but having been a driver for a little over 30 years prior to getting one. I soon realized it's just an expensive dash ornament that I didn't really have a use for.

Another security problem I found. As a passenger ferry operator people would sometimes forget and leave their keys on the boat. If they had one of those plastic key chain cards like you get from your grocer. I could go over to the local stop and rob, scan it and find out who they belonged to and where they lived.

I also don't currently own a car, but in the past I've always kept everything in the glove box and never thought about it. I kind of like AVG's idea, though.

mine's on the key ring

Connecticut requires the registration to be attached to the windshield in sticker form.
Both Volkswagens I cart around in here have them.

Glove Box, in a map where the manual and the rest of the car's paperwork is.

Yeah we have that here in Australia too. If I'm thinking of the right thing

In my car, in the insurance and manual folder.
I'd prefer to carry it around wth me, but we share the car with my father so I have to leave it in the car

Texas uses stickers, so I have no idea where my paperwork is. It's probably around here somewhere. Not that it matters, as my registration is almost two years out-of-date.

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.

We'd get busted for having out of date rego around here.

And the penalty is four months' hard labor with sheep shearing, because you do not have them right rego

Yet you drive with the car?

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!

And in a lot of other places i would imagine.

[Geno_Mariner]

$200 dearer in QLD?! That is crazy. Wonder about other state's prices

And yeah that's true.

[tater]

The registration is proof of taxes paid, basically (as well as passing emissions tests). It has to be kept in the vehicle in the US (along with proof of insurance).

Slovenia: about €90 for a small car like mine. The price goes up with the engine volume

(€90 is about 120$)

Glove box inside a ziplock bag with proof of insurance that's required by law.
