JW-
I'll be happy to fill you in. I should add though, that I have't actually done anything yet, I just got the all the paperwork and talked to the fine folks in Trenton. We'll see in the next few months how the whole process actually goes. Stay tuned, it promises to be interesting . . .

And why would you move back to NJ?:confused: :confused:

Believe it or not it is better than Ct.

I can not stand paying property taxes on my cars. I am paying close to $1,000 a year on property tax 2 vehicles that are nearly 10 years old each.

What happens when I get a new car?

uuuggghh. I believe that this state government is more corrupt than anywhere else that I have lived. Between the mayors of Waterbury and Bridgeport on trial for carious lunacies I believe that the state government is probably worse than all of them combined.

Ct is a beautiful state. So is california but I ain't going to live there either.

Chaplin,
Are you going the Collector Car route?

Attorney General Lockyer Files Charges in Massive Vehicle Registration Fraud Case
False Title and Registration Documents Cost California Millions in Lost Tax Revenues

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(916) 324-5500

(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced he has filed criminal charges against an Alabama man accused of providing fraudulent title and registration documents that are believed to have cost California more than $1 million in tax revenues and license fees over the past two years, and as much as $14 million since 1975.

"This scam operation provided false information that low-balled the value of antique, classic and specialty cars, allowing the owners to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes and vehicle registration fees," Lockyer said. "Our joint investigation leads us to suspect between 20,000 and 70,000 vehicles have been fraudulently registered in California through similar schemes. At a time when the state is facing such a severe budget crisis, scams like this are especially egregious and will be prosecuted."

Richard Weaver, 54, of Birmingham, Ala., will be arraigned at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Sacramento Superior Court, Department 8. In his complaint, the Attorney General charges Weaver with 18 counts of offering false bills of sale and vehicle registrations through his business, Titles Unlimited, which also does business as Pinson Valley Auto Sales. Weaver faces a maximum punishment of 14 years and four months....
