So Maine gets the registration fees and excise tax payments, Connecticut gets the wear and tear their roads. Sounds like the DMV figured it out 30-40 years ago.

Yeah, and the CT resident still saves a lot of money. Doesn't really matter where the money goes, you don't get it back. Sweet dirt roads all over Maine, btw.

Doesn’t matter where the taxes and fees generated go? Dirt roads? Huh?

Not only is the registration fee hundreds of dollars cheaper on average, maine doesn't require an emissions test, and insurance is much cheaper as well, sometimes a thousand dollars cheaper per year or more.

As I said before, Maine is so backwater that whoever I'm arguing with lives in such an isolated bubble they have no idea how the world works.

Relax and fire up that wood stove.

My point is what incentive does Maine have to fix this “problem”?

If I had a wood stove it would have been fired up weeks ago. A man can dream…

I guess it's win win then? I wish I had a wood stove too with the price of oil.

Northeast VT, but let’s be real not much of a distinction. Just cracking up about you thinking our DMV’s are somehow losing from a bunch of flatlanders giving us their money, and telling us to go “fire up our wood stoves” like it’s an insult.

Never said anything about Vermont, so the "our" dmv comment is incorrect. Not sure why you're trying to get in to the conversation about Maine. Says a lot about Vermont though.

I mean, Maine and Vermont have the same DMV “loophole” hence why I mentioned Vermont. I also said DMV’s as in plural, so no, my comment was not incorrect.
