That's more common then you can imagine. Our local news ran something on how fair our taxes are and that people who are licensing their cars in other states, from this state, are breaking the law and there is no reason for it. Yeah right! My Mustang plates/registration were $559, my wife's car, Dodge Avenger sale price $20,000 something and some change, $500, which also includes a previous owner tax and an RTD tax. An RV will cost you over $2,000 to put on the road. And yet they still say that CDOT is underfunded and they don't have the money to repair roads and bridges that need it.
