Nc Highway Use Tax Got Me Good!

We have a flat rate for title transfer but plates are based on the value of the vehicle. My Jeep was 47 bucks, not too bad and the Ramcharger antique plates were 80 bucks for five years.... I can live with that. one more reason to not buy a new car, lol. Antique plates are a flat fee and are good for 5 years. There is an emissions test for new antique plates but it's just and idle test and only has to be done once. I just feel so violated when some stranger sticks a wand up my cars tailpipe. I'll have to put the Ramchager engine in the duster BEFORE I put the stroker 512 in to get it plated.

The local municipalities frown on non registered vehicles and will ticket you for it, even if it's on private property. Any unregistered vehicle must be garaged. Emission tests and the ticketing thing don't apply outside of the major cities though.
