A $192 Plate?!

tag

Yes. License plates are indeed a rip off. Especially here in the great state of Florida. I know in the past I’ve taken time on this blog to illustrate the incompetence of the DMV, and I think it’s safe to say that they’re still battin’ a thousand. I even called ahead and asked for a detailed list of things that I would need to bring. The list they gave was, of course, incomplete meaning that I had to trek out to my car and clear security a total of four times before actually receiving my tag.

There was really only one highlight. In Florida, when you switch your title from a different state you have to pay an impound fee which is 10% of the purchase price of the vehicle. Luckily, when we bought I car I paid for it, but it was in my dad’s name for insurance purposes. So, when I got married my dad simply “sold” it to me for $10. The lady said to me, “What was the purchase price pf the car?” To which I said, “Ten dollars.” To which she replied, “I’m sorry.” I then pointed to the purchase price box on the bill of sale. Basically, Florida got owned to the tune of one dollar.
