At least you can pump your own gas? That was weird being in a convertible with the top down and some random person filling my cars tank for me when we went through Oregon (had no idea it was a law). The next time we ran the PCH I refused to stop for gas in OR
We pay a sales tax to the county when you purchase a vehicle (5% of purchase price capped at $500 if it's a 10K car or 100K car) then we have a yearly property tax that does depreciate. My 2015 Z71 was almost $600 the year I bought it, in year 3 I recently paid $320. My classics are all like $50/yr. My wife's 8 year old Mustang was $420 when it was new, it's down to $100/yr now.
