Reply to comment by fadinglucidity in Relocating to CT from CA by a-sillylittlegoose

I moved from LA in June of last year as well. This is a great summary.

One thing to note on costs of owning a car in CT versus CA is the ‘car tax’. You essentially owe property tax on your vehicle, with the rate depending on what town you live at. The town will bill you by mail, but on a new-ish car it could be up to $2k/year. It’s offset a bit by the fact that registration is significant cheaper and valid for 3 years at a time here.

Reply to comment by Sasha64- in Anyone ever get pulled over for not having a front plate on their vehicle? by MrBleah

Some bumper setups you just have to, but there are a lot of alternative front plate mounts that can be used to mount a plate without drilling, it’s just not stuff the dealer will generally use as they tend to be designed with specific models in mind and not everyone wants one as they often put the plate off center which for some people is worse than having a mount drilled into the center.
