Here in Virginia, we have an Antique tag option for those who don't want to pay annual car taxes on recreational vehicles and want to keep the annual vehicle inspections at bay; better know as the Virginia State scams. Just as long as one has a part to get,"Thats right officer, I'm getting a light at Advance Auto Parts," your good to go within 200 miles of your home address of pure driving pleasure and not towing. We have the Shanadoah Valley which is hilly and winding and thats a huge plus. If there was a state, which one would be the best for 914s? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

the best state is canada,,LOL ontario to be more precise at least 6month per year , the plates are 60$ per year no matter what thevalue of the car , for the regular plate , if you go historic with the 1 time fee, you get restricted to secondary roads ( like its a disadvantage with a 914 ) the car is more than 20 years old , so no biannual emisson testing,, the bad is the 6 months of snow,,LOL

I've been gone from Welland Ontario for about 15 years and you have just tought me something other than that four letter snow PITA. Here in Virginia, you could drive during the cold winter months and have 90% of it snow free. I thought I went to heaven the last few winters if thats what they call them here.

Ohio is not bad, better than some state, CO and KY. Around $60 for regular plates, no limitations, and all cars over 25 years are emissions exempt.
KY I think they just did away with emissions, but you have to pay an value tax(basically sales tax) along with your reg. fee every year. CO you have to E-check every year or two. They do have collector plates which you can buy 5 years or reg at a time and get out of 4 e-checks. But you still have to do it, which I think could be though for you V-8 guys. |

Having 2 w/ antique plates & living in the Shenandoah Valley I can honestly say I'm not avoiding my taxes... I paid my taxes on the Civic & the VFR & that's enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) . Oh yeah, it's 250 miles, not 200.
As for driving, well... I went out this morning & hit 112 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) . Screwed up the video but I'll try again soon... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) BTW- the switchbacks in Sedona, AZ rock! Don't know about the DMV laws though. |

I'm from Ky originally. Every year you have to pay a tax on the RESALE value of your car, to get your registration renewed! That applies to all cars, boats & planes.
Here, in Pa, assuming your car is "collectable" - any car is over 25 years old, and you get it registered as such, you don't have to pass safety OR emissions tests. And Pa is really tough on these things - you don't see much junk on the road here. But, you're not supposed to drive the car after dark. Haven't tested that yet. However, today, on my way to the local farm to get local goodies, I sat at a traffic light next to a '76 Eldorado, with collecotr plates. Had the oversized front grill, a ton of rust, fake convertible top & was belching out blue smoke. Somehow, I don't think that is the "spirit" of the law. Pat |

QUOTE(JPB @ Aug 12 2007, 07:46 PM) Right!. But at the farm - oh baby, different story! '67 Dodge Coronet (proper plates). 426 Wedge, 2-speed auto, bronze & black - pristine as can be. Huge, lovely noises! The reason to NOT need Viagra. At least on my part. When he cooked out of the parking lot, the noise was akmost (almost) as sweat as a 917K. Well, they ARE different noises, but either can make me almost wet my pants! Oh man, why did I ever go away from MoPar! |

Long term tinkerer... Group: Members Posts: 1,879 Joined: 7-April 03 From: Lyons, CO Member No.: 529 |
CO is pretty good. $25 a year that's paid every 5 years for collector tags. Once the car is registered with collector tags, no more inspection or smog checks every again so long as you own the car and keep the registration current.
So... once it's tagged... Any motor, or fuel injection system, or exhaust you want... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -Josh2 |

Georgia is not too bad, think my tag & tax is under $40 per year. No inspections at all for older cars. Rarely snows and no salt on the roads.
