Fun (not!) little tidbit about registering in CT. My car managed to get registered as a '65 (purchased used five years ago). Seems the CT DMV has figured out that a "1965 Cobra" is a very valuable car. My personal property tax bill has gone from about $25.00 years ago (prior to the 'awakening') to $455.00 a year now. My Town Hall tax department told me I should get Early American plates for it. With the car so registered I would see a very large drop in its assessed value but I fear I'll open a Pandora Box with the DMV in doing so. Any suggestions? The car has Veteran plates on it now (police are usually very friendly to Veterans) which I would like to keep but my tax bill is getting a little nuts.
