I'm surprised there was room to add another tag.

Wait until your truck is 11 years old. Then it will be a lot lower. I think this year was the first mine went up. Stupid democrats...

Yup, or the value drops below a certain amount. I know that the Mustang is something like $41 per year.

I think next time I have to buy plates I am going to get personalized plates. The tough decision is what to get though.

Was there a breakout of the fees/charges this year? What went up?

Good evening guys.

It costs me $106/yr for the truck (8000lb plates) and $75/yr for the car and van. Looks like I should register them in MN now that it is cheaper there.

I see that school busses and mass transit busses are $5 every 5 years and state owned vehicles are $5 one time fee. No wonder our registration is soon much. At least the county I live in doesn't have a $20 wheel tax.

Haha. Yes they are Dave. They can wait until closer to that season though.

Not sure what the differences were in the fees Chris.

Hey guys.

Well I picked up an Xtra 10 from my parts guy. He said it would fit (along with some modifications). It is in a lot better condition than mine and got it for $75.
I need another GTG to put it on now.

That sounds pretty good. Ours is probably in that range

WI does goofy registration I see. I don't think you can even register less than 10k plates in MN.

Your plates should be good for the life of the plate IIRC. Just the tabs get renewed.

That is pretty cool Mike. I want to see Tom do that.

That is awesome Cory. Now we just need to get it in for you. Less beer next time though.

Good evening Dale and Jim. Hello Chris.
