    No $200 fee in registration renewal bill due in Nov

    agree, the fee is outrageous, but they also know there is no Option. Ideally - it should be mileage based but we all know that is not going to happen as that means more work for powers that be, so we get slapped by a blanket fee This chart is a little old but gives you an idea

    That would be lovely ! I'd love to take my MS to BBNP.

    A possible legal strategy to fight the $200/$400 registration surcharge? Here's an idea . . .

    my understanding is that inspections are being waived only in certain parts of Texas. Cities with large populations like DFW metroplex, houston etc will still subject to inspections.

    Looking for vehicle charge friendly airbnb (and their ilk) places to stay in Marfa TX

    IME, that part of Texas is not very dense when it comes to chargers. - almost any place with 110V will *let you* charge but hosts can charge whatever they want - as it is handled outside of AirBnB platform. I have been asked to pay $200/night to the host letting me charge for free. Few times I...
