Registration fees are out of control Most people probably remember how a frog cannot be put directly into boiling water, however, if it's put in and the heat is slowly turned up it will become cooked. I'm wondering if this is a picture of many Coloradoans with regard to vehicle registration cost. I'm renewing the registration on my two-year-old car -- more than $500! I've lived in Colorado for more than 20 years now and I can't remember when the exponential increases too...
