In the case of our gas tax and vehicle registration fees they depleted the account to the point they had no money to repair our roads which they were meant for. The answer..... they put a proposition on the ballot to raise the gas tax and vehicle registration fees. The commercials on TV were well done and the public bought it and voted for the proposition to raise the gas tax and vehicle registration.

The 993 coupe has a Vail, Colorado ownership/registration since new in October 1997. .. Never an inspection, ever, and dirt cheap annual registration fee. 2019/2020 fee, $31.55 (generic plates)

Sorry typing was off $19.00 per thousand so at a valuation of 45k over $800 per year. Providence over $26.00 per thousand. Each city in this blue as blue state just rapes you

Georgia did away with annual value-based automobile taxes a few years ago. Although I think it is stupid that we still have to re-register our vehicles on an annual basis, I must admit that paying $22.00 per year per vehicle is much better than paying the $200-400 (Or more) per vehicle we paid in the past.
We just moved to GA from CA and paid $3 for the one time Ad Valorem tax plus the $20 tag fee on our ‘95 993. Plus exempt from smog checks. A pleasant surprise considering we’d become so used to the $600 annual fees back home.

Cheating on tax bills is common practice. Also registering your cars out-of-state. Why not, let the other guy bear his responsibility and yours.
If you can live with yourself (many are just fine with it), great, until you get caught.

I am a member of half the citizens in our country who pay a net income tax to the Federal Government, tax paid minus benefits from paying.
Hey, I don't cheat, most folks who pay taxes don't either. Here in Verginny, in past years, one declares the value of online purchases and the calculated use tax owed on an honor system. I make a significant effort to calculate this and give the state a few hundred dollars in use tax it adds up to.
This doesn't mean I am happy with being in a high-tax state where my representation is dubious and the value proposition for society in the taxes I pay is unclear at best.

Why any state has any cars that are exempt from smog testing at this late stage of our climate crisis only serves to inform that our country truly has abdicated any true leadership in the world.
Like everything else these days, we’ll just kick the can down the road and hope somebody else cleans it up. That’s the new way of doing things around here, apparently.

As far as taxation and representation, well, it has little to do with Porsche 991s, starting a discussion about that is fused dynamite waiting for a match. Take that argument to the voting booth, I am.

So you can ask yourself the question you have posed to me, how does OP's tale relate to Porsche cars?
I responded to what OP posted.
