No, I lied, the last government did one thing that saves a very small number of people (myself included) a whopping $10/year. In Michigan, your registration renewal is due on your birthday. If your vehicle does not have road-worthy insurance, you cannot renew it. If you miss your renewal date, you have to pay a $10 late fee. Well, since my birthday is in February, and my Mustang is in storage for the winter, I always had to pay the $10 extra when I brought it back out in the spring. The last governor added a provision for car guys in my situation saying that if they could prove that the car was in storage when the registration lapsed, the late fee would be waived on renewal. So hooray for that at least.
