I think that's retarded also. Someone with an 08 Yaris owner pays more then someone with an 87 Suburban for vehicle registration. Which one causes more wear and tear on the road?

Yeah, but if you added the total registration taxes paid on that Suburban, it's way more. The bad thing is this also affects used vehicles for several years as well. A 2005 Lexus can still be over $300/yr, it was $99 last year.
