    Then there are the little old blue-haired ladies who can't see even with NO hood scoop, but that's o.k. I guess.

    Here's the deal. Our Virginia legislators need money for roads, but are very anti-tax. In order to avoid raising the taxes on everyone who uses the highways (the gas tax), they instituted these fees. However, these fees, along with increased license fees, increased vehicle fees, increased fees for selling a house, ad nauseum, ONLY APPLY TO VIRGINIANS. Yep . . . any non-resident driving through ol' Virginny is exempt from the civil fees.

    I guess they think we're too stupid to understand that a fee by any other name is still a tax.

    Bottom line, instead of hitting all those who use the roads, locals are footing the whole bill. That whole concept is so freakin' stupid it makes my hair hurt. When it comes time to cast the next ballot, any legislator who voted for this mess is not getting an "X" for me.

    In Virginia, I don't think so - at least for hot rods.

    Henry,
    Just wanted you to know that the northerners in the state feel the same way. This is my first post on this forum, I've been a lurker for a while, but this subject is enough to drag me out of the shadows. We would have plenty of money if the politicians would not feel so free to pocket the money for themselves, give sweetheart contracts to their buddies and have to support those not paying into the system. Imagine if the penalty for there lies and theft were in proportion to the traffic offense fines? Every one of the lying thieves would be drawn and quartered. Hmmm........selling tickets would be a great way to raise the coffers they depleted in a voluntary way. Yeah, I'll be looking at how these jackasses voted when I cast my ballot!
    Oh, well! Have a nice day.
    Matt

    Nope there are only 46 states. Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia all call themselves commonwealths. It has no constitutional impact. They just like to be different.
