CA DMV weight fee???? WTF!!!!!

wonderful smog check every 2 years costs about $50.
If you dont pass smog, you dont get to register your vehicle.

We too have emissions testing yearly in large counties such as Tarrant(Ft Worth), and Dallas, and all counties that touch those. I'm in one of the emissions counties and a yearly safety/emissions inspection is $39.

We pay ~$65 a year for a personal auto, doesn't matter if it's a Geo Metro, or a King Ranch F350.

Funny thing is, this past year they did away with having an actual inspection sticker on the windshield and just tied it in with your registration. You can't register without a valid inspection. This saves the state the money of the inspection stickers and booklets, but none of that cost is passed on to the taxpayers.

Still not sure why we have a safety inspection with all the crap I see on the roads daily.

One of my good friends moved from Cali to TX and lives in Houston now and tells me what a huge difference it is between the 2 states.
He is loving it and needless to say, I am a bit jealous. I need to get out of CA lol

You couldn't pay me to live in Houston. That's the sweaty armpit of Texas. You sweat just thinking about going outside. Not to mention the traffic and the people.

I live about 15 minutes east of downtown Dallas in a large enough city that we have amenities, but not so big that it looses its quaintness. Plus in 25 min I can be in the country and do pretty much whatever I please.

If I could get Texas politics and economics in Cali I'd be there in a heart beat, the weather would be worth the move.
