I appreciate Roger's problems with California's taxes. Lived there myself years ago'
 
Here in North Carolina they have a different swindle going. The car is valued according to a "value book " that no one ever sees. It apparently is kept in Raleigh. No other value books are allowed. This book rates cars as  "restored"   so you pay a tax based on their assessment of a number one vehicle. It doesn't matter that your car is a parts vehicle that will never run, or like mine, is just a Saturday night driver to the local Sonic complete with rust spots.
 
In addition to the yearly tax there is of course the annual license fee, same as all other cars.
You don't have to license a parts car, but still must pay the annual tax. This results in the guy with a rusted out old car out back junking the car rather than paying an annual tax on it.
The wrecking yard owners love this set up, as they can then sell parts from it after the county orders it confiscated for non payment of the tax, or other "unsightly" issues.
 
Roger mentions that politicians rate lower than used car salesmen. Remember, the vast majority of politicians are lawyers, and on surveys they rate under used car salesmen also-
 
The old car fraternity is regarded as a "cash cow" by the politicians, and worse by your next door neighbor. Only by uniting as a political action group can we secure protection from the buzzards. But by nature-old car enthusiasts are reluctant joiners-
