I just received my registration renewal to the tune of $526 due 12/31/09. Lucky me that I snuck in the last day of '09. I was relieved to not see the "Emission test required" on it. I've got an odd vin# so we'll see next year what it comes too. These are about the same rates we paid under Grey Davis the prior governor. My camper never comes off,so I may get car plates this year and save $209. It'll be interesting to follow the accounts of the poor souls having to smog their trucks here beginning 2010, I believe. Sucks. Bladerunner gets to stay on another year.
