NYS is two.  Matter of fact, the ****ing idiot that currently occupies the Governor's mansion decided that every driver in NYS needed to get new plates, to the tune of $25 a set.  Something about NYS being waaaay in debt.

NH requires 2.  Hey, if I have to pay $430 to register my car, plus another $45 for safety inspection, they ******* well better give me two plates!

Oh, and the inspection process here doesn't include smog, but they will fail you for little shit like body rust or brakes, etc.

And before ya'll tell me how expensive that is to register my car, let me state for the record once again--NO STATE SALES TAX.  Buy a $25-30K vehicle and how much in sales tax are you paying for that car?  I rest my case.

Poor BEG--buy a car there, and not only are you paying the 9 percent-plus sales tax, but the Godawful registration fees, smog, and gas that runs around $3/gallon for regular (ex is bitching about paying $3.25/gal for premium) while I'm paying (in some spots) under $2.40 for regular.

Poor BEG--buy a car there, and not only are you paying the 9 percent-plus sales tax, but the Godawful registration fees, smog, and gas that runs around $3/gallon for regular (ex is bitching about paying $3.25/gal for premium) while I'm paying (in some spots) under $2.40 for regular.

It's high in Nevada, over 1% of the MSRP when it was new. People that buy RV's find themselves paying 2 or 3 grand yearly (or more) and no one ever pays MSRP on an RV...it's usually thousands less...

Two plates here in Colorado.

Most states that do the two plate thing are doing so because it guarantees a great radar return off the vehicle no matter what it's made of. (flat metallic surface perpendicular to the "horizontal plane" of the roadbed).

Just sayin'...

just call me stupid!!!  :banghead:

we don't have state INCOME tax...

our sales tax is almost 10%...but it varies from county to county, and where I am, if I buy within the city limits, it's higher....though the city has annexed most commercial areas.
