Very true on the 'minority'. I'm not aware of another cobra / kit car owner in Middletown and seems others in CT have varied experiences / results on both annual vehicle assessments, and getting classic plates (which caps the assessment at $500, so your bill is like $20 per year). We need an advocate like SEMA to get involved and drive CT DMV regulations to include kit / composite cars. With classic plates, the assessors have no power to assess higher than $500.

You are, by the nature of the car you drive, being in a definite minority and not having enough others like you similarly affected and willing to raise a voice, have been declared "rich" and you are going to pay for it.
