Hey Meat,
Haven't seen your name around for a while, since this site opened up for business. Appreciate your assistance with SB100, unfortunately, I was one of those that did not have the SB100 option when I purchased my car, as SB100 came later. After 2-years of fighting and writing with the DMV, discussions with the AG, and the lack of SEMA to assist, I was finally allowed to register my Cobra at the DMV's determined amount of nearly $13K(includes $2K of penalties). Needless to say, I was turned off, and decided to take the car out of state.
As Jamo stated earlier, the "Online Registration" process is a good start. Eliminate the taxes owed based on the vehicle's determined value, and attach a much more fair tax to be applied for
all "SPCN' vehicles. And lastly, since there are more cars then there are SPCN numbers to be registered each year, raise the amount from 500 each year to a realistic number such as 5000. This will increase their revenue, and should allow car hobbyists to register their vehicles throughout the year, eliminating the January stampede.
BTW, Hawaii registration costs are based on vehicle weight. Wow, imagine a less greedier concept?
Good luck with all your efforts!
