This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I paid for the registration for my car in cash because I didn’t feel like buying checks to write a $25 bill.

MFers apparently charge a fee for cash transactions and never told me. Since I mailed it out and the state of Misery is awful it took 8 months before someone finally told me what I needed to do (send $26) and finally I got my plates.

Wow, that's dumb. My local emissions place charges a 3% "service charge," which is waived if I pay in cash, but since that's pretty close to the rewards I get with my card (2%), I just paid by card since the difference is like $1. I don't remember my DMV charging any fees for credit though (i.e. when I get plates).

If you're buying from a dealership, you could probably go to the DMV directly to get the plates, and maybe they don't charge a fee. Idk though, each state is different, and I've never bought a car at a dealership.
