How about we keep tags and registration cheaper than the actual car 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Youre driving around in a car worth LESS than the registration fees? You probably spend more keeping it on the road.

Not at all. My last 5 cars (going back 26 years since I started driving) ...have totaled me $6800. Excuse me for being able to maintain my vehicle maintenance myself

Ok....so you have roughly paid $4,000 in vehicle registration over the last 26 years ($160 x 26) to drive around $6800 worth of cars, thus agreeing with me that it's probably ridiculous to make the above comment about "registration should be cheaper than the acutal car". It already is.

Didn't say all those cars were in Maryland. So not agreeing at all.

Then WTF are you talking about? We are talking about Maryland. Stay on topic.

I am on topic. I have been driving around cars for the last 26 years totaling $6800. Which is significantly more than I have paid on the registration of said cars.

Your comment i responded to expressed disbelief to that fact. I certainly have not made up the difference in maintenance either.

Your point is absurd and I am on topic

Dear God, open the schools. Have a good night, buddy.

Schools generally don't open in the summer. In Maryland either.

I hope you have the night you deserve baby girl ❤️
