The price of vanity (plates)
Jun. 29th, 2010 11:46 pmSince I've moved to RI I'm going to have to register my cars there. I was planning to get RI vanity "PIXEL" plates to replace my CT ones. However I just looked at the fees involved.
See, in CT you pay $88 once to get vanity plates, and from then on they cost the same as regular plates. But in RI you pay $67.50 to get the vanity plates made, then another $90 PER YEAR on top of the standard registration fees to keep your vanity plates.
So now I have to decide if continuing to have PIXEL plates is worth $90/year. Never mind that I'd planned on getting vanity plates for emily as well, which is definitely not happening now ($180/year for both cars is right out right now).
