Capitalists...huh... much more than that !

When I bought my first car in November 2005, we got it registered(got a license plate and all that) and shelled out about $70 . And suddenly, we get a mail saying that our license plate expires in January 2006 and we need to get it 'renewed' ! Damn... we need to get a new registration plate again from this January ! Whoa... Comon ... when we paid the same amount, the license plate is supposed to be valid for one year from the date of registration ! This is in stark contrast to the Indian system where you register a number plate after you buy the vehicle and it lasts till you scrap it !

Hmmm... Maybe this is how 'Uncle Sam' is a multi-trillion-dollar economy.

Well, that system has some advantages though it might cause inconvinience :)

But tell you what? It would be close to impossible to enforce a similar system here in India. RTO is a real mess here. Chances are that end up spending the same amount here on bribe. :P
