New York license fees

WTF is going on with NY fees? Hunting licenses have gone up a boat load since last year. Today, in the mail I get a registration renewal for the Blazer. $103 for 2 more years.:icon_doh: $71 registration fee, $20 use tax, and $12.50 for my special plate fee. Which has gone up $2.50 since the last time. Lucky for me, I'm not forced to buy NY's new license plates because of my amateur radio plates. Well, until them a**ho's read my rants.
Ok, I'm done for now. Until I check the mail tomorrow.

Thank the seeing impaired person down in Albany. The SNL parodies on Paterson are HILARIOUS!

The hunting license increase is just going to cause more people to hunt "illegally" or not hunt at all. I wish I had of purchased the lifetime license before the increase. I'll be sure to do it for my kids so they do not have to pay for it again (if it is still available).

don't feel so bad W2JGA, in Ontario it'll cost you $74 for the year (so $148 for 2 years).

and for those lucky folks who reside inside the bounderies of his "Royal Blondness" (that'd be Major David Miller of Toronto), you get nailed an extra $60 per year, just for being in his fair city.
so, it'll cost you $268 for 2 years of driving, if you live in Toronto.

feel better now?

I have always wondered about those lifetime licenses. Too bad we couldn't get a lifetime registration for our vehicles.

Can't watch SNL, too late for me to stay up that late, and can't DVR it because my wife hogs it.

Question is, what is NY going to do with all this extra money? Nevermind, I won't bother. They're lying anyway.:icon_no:

The rest of NY has to fun NYC, don't ya know!

Just search for SNL Paterson on Youtube! AWE CRAP! Youtube has blocked the videos now! LMAO

Here it is in all of its politcally incorrect -ness...

they're gonna use the extra money to hire a consultant, who is gonna come up with new ways that they can get more money from you.

aren't you glad you asked? hahahahaha!

$268 to drive in toronto for 2 years?! F THAT! wait... CD or USD? if it's CD it doesn't really count...

I though you guys traded in socialized medical care, syrup, bearded hugs, and low milage Blazers :D
"Two bearded hugs for your Pepsi!" "Um... I'll pass thanks...."

LOL! Too true! And with those big bucks you pay inflated registration fees! its a vicious cycle!

As a former resident of the Peoples Republic of New York, I am glad I got out of there. Every tax you could think of and some you've never heard of are all going up.

Here in New Hampshire it will cost you about $200 a year for plates. But we have no sales or income tax. So its much better here. Property taxes are high but that's all these Eastern Seaboard States.

*ducks and reaches for a .357 (shells in, no evidence bitches!) every time a maple leaf-emblazoned blazer drives by playing 'Oh Canada'*

Thats what $25.95 US? lol

I just renewed my truck & my NYS Commercial drivers license yesterday. The cost of all DMV related fee's went up 25% 2 months ago. It was $77.25 to transfer plates and $172.50 for my license renewal.
And guess what? An additional fee adopted in this year's state budget is inspiring a lot of road rage. Starting in April 2010, all drivers in New York will be required to buy brand new license plates at $25 a set, regardless of whether they're driving a new car or not. That's $10 more than the current price. If you want to keep your same license plate number, it will cost you another $20. Why do we need new plates? The state claims this is for safety because the reflectivity on many of the license plates issued in 2001 has worn out. But what about states like Delaware that have had the same plates since 1970? I think it's another way for the state to get more money. There are 12 million registered drivers in the state, and the State Department of Motor Vehicles estimates this will bring in $129 million. This is just one of more than 100 fees that were adopted in last year's budget to satisfy the insatiable desire of New York City Democrat state leaders to spend the money of hard-working New Yorkers.
Ok, now everybody sing... "I love NY!"

Thanks but I a gallon of it in the fridge my aunt sent me, some maple booze also.

TJ I feel your pain. That is exactly the reason I moved out of state. I couldn't afford it anymore.

All they want to do is take your money. Let's not mention the property and school taxes!!!

States like Delaware dont have new license plates because:
1) it's unsafe
2) who the hell lives in Delaware?
3) C'mon...they're DELAWARE... they are America's Canada ...

Oh damn. To get back on tract, new plates here are went up from a whopping $20 to 24.

it costs me 202 to renew my plates for 2 years here in fl. 71 per year and an extra 27 for my specialty tags each year

Canadian Money is also known as the Looney. HOW IN THE BLUE HELL CAN YOU GUYS TAKE YOUR MONEY SERIOUSLY. I MEAN WTF ..... OVER

I think mine were $60 for specialty plates, 2 year reg. I had to pay some fee to transfer the vehicle from NC to Oregon, but it was minimal. BONUS: ducked out of DEQ because my home of record address is still out in the sticks! :icon_teeth:

you know, you two can do what my wife does on a regular basis (what's the slang for a supercharger? :icon_laugh:)

you guys make jokes about Canada, and all, but ALL of you want our women & our Maple Syrup. just remember which goes on top of the other, eh. :icon_laugh::icon_laugh:

i guess our Twoonie really has you confused then Ian.

if you want, i'll send both of ya a PM of our "new" counterfit currency being designed (it figures Quebec has the nicest bill).

Some Americans (like me :) ) know that a Looney is $1 and a Tooney is $2 (Just how do they jam that little coin in the middle of the big coin?).
I know this because they ALWAYs are sure to give me plenty of them in my change. Of course US banks do not accept foreign coinage. I started a jar of "funny money" for my trips to the great white north. I got some Canadian money as change recently... I didn't know you changed it!

you're missing one of them. you need to go to Quebec. besides getting some of their Maple Syrup, you should go to a bank and get yourself on of these (the exchange rate should make it pocket change for you guys). as for the two piece Twoonie, it's a National secret, can't tell you (only the Mint & TTC have the secret)

Hey, can ya send me that last one? I need it for my "funny money" jar. I have the other two taped to the outside of it! LOL!

PS - why no smilie faces? LOL!

sure i can. how about we exchange on for the other?

sorry, i wanted to post it quick. besides, i figured your smile when seeing it would be good enough for ya.
lucky i didn't paste in the original, i'm sure i would've got a major :icon_slap2: for that.

You can e-mail me thru my site right on the first page, just click the button you'll find there. http://www.luvmytj.com
No problem. I will send ya the unedited versions. ;)

Silly canadians.... Pay Pal, duh!

And how did this turn into a discussion about Canadian money anyway? I wish our money looked like those!!!!

Well, we were talking about cost - cost = money - money in Canada is sexy.
See, simple. :icon_shrug:

our money does look like that. when you are about 65-70 years old, get good and drunk, and squint a ben franklin.... he's at least a 6!

screw Pay Pal, i want cold hard cash!

:D

:icon_goofygrin:

i'm really begining to wonder about you, ya know...........:icon_nut:

I guess that extra $12.50 that I pay keeps me exempted from having to get those new plates. :icon_dance-cpatch:
Nice having amateur radio plates!

Great, I guess I get to look forward to renewing my Class A license in 2011.:icon_shrug:

NY thinks it's unsafe having our current plates? Yea, ok. Here are 2 reasons why NY is requiring everyone to buy new plates.
1. NY politicians need more money. Nuff said.
2. It's a gimmick. The ONLY main reason why NY want's to swap out new tags is because the older ones don't really reflect police laser guns all that well. NY thinks, well lets put new plates on all the cars so the NYSP can write more speeding tickets. This also falls into reason #1.

OMG! they dumped the Glocks for https://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:...er%2520Gun.JPG these?

Photo Enforced speeding and photo enforced traffic lights are the only things that care about reflectivity of the plate, thats why the nixxed the covers that protect you. you can still get the spray paint that makes your plates blurry on photos though. illegal, but available.
