That went over my head...don't get it

People pay $80k for a diesel truck that can tow 20k lbs, pay $900/year to register it, smog it every year, to tug a boat to and from a launch ramp. :)

And then they pay another $10k in parts and labor when the fuel pump grenades at 100k miles.

This is the world we live in - under the thumb of the towing gestapo.

Did they charge you like $65 extra for online? The kiosk at dmv will not work if you need weight stickers. Got lucky and lady pulled me aside and let me skip line and pay when kiosk was a no go.
