i believe this is what im talking about..?

The tag with the year on the bottom right needs to be updated so that the month and year combo don't go into the past (like say it's FEB 2008, you'd have to renew your tags before then). That's all we really have.

Yep, then your tags are out of date and it's illegal.

I think I've seen that at a car show one time, you can open the door from both ends, it is completely symmetrical (except for the steering system) and the 1 cylinder 2-stroke engine (unlike carsis in-between the 2 seats, which face opposite of each other.)

Anyway I'm looking to get a 73 Chevy Nova with a V8 small block Chevy in it.

you're going to be paying a lot more for a decent nova with a 307-402 engine than you would for a 2002 or newer car. checked craigslist, and a "project" (read: rust loving everywhere) nova with a 307 is 2500$, and the ones in good shape are all 7000$ or more, which would get you a good 90s mercedes or 90s-mid 2000s lincoln

any car that's more than a decade old is going to give you a ton of problems. i had to replace the alternator, battery, and entire sound system in my 1999 ford because they all started to die within a few months of buying the car.

tags don't cost much, though. i think last time i got mine replaced it was like a 40$ fee.

if i understand this correctly, you pay a road tax every year in addition to a tag every month..?

No, the month is the month that the car was purchased from a dealer with and got its plates (I think) and the year tag is renewed every year. We have no road tax. You pay for the tag and that's it.

Copypasted from wikipedia's Road Tax article:

United States

Each state requires an annual registration fee which varies from state to state.[5]

For example, in Massachusetts, the excise tax is billed separately from registration fees, by the town or city in which the vehicle is registered, and was set at a fixed rate of 2.5% statewide by a 1980 law called Proposition 2½‎. Within some states, the fees may vary from county to county, as some counties have surcharges per vehicle. An example of this is Virginia's personal property tax. The state of New York, on the other hand, charges a tax based on the vehicle's weight, rather than on its value, which is charged at the time of registration renewal.

In California, the registration tax is calculated by the current value of the vehicle. As a result, older and more inexpensive vehicles will have a low registration fee, whereas newer and more expensive vehicles will have fees in the hundreds of dollars.


So you do have some sort of road tax. You sure road tax isn't the fee you pay for the tag? Or am I off?
