But my favorite thing about CA DMV is that if you move away, register your car somewhere else for a couple years and move back, you will have to pay 2 years back registration unless you thought to mail CA DMV a letter when you moved stating your intention to register your car in another state and NOT in CA any more.

when we went to pay for bryans sti i was also one day late and got charge 50 extra bucks. Before reg went up in prices we were paying 280 for registration and now we are paying 550 and same for the tribeca. Dmv also told us that only way you can pay in a dmv office now is if it is late. If its not late all reg has to be sent to sacramento from now on.

Don't be late, the DMV has done CRAZY increases to late fees. I swapped my personalized plates over from my old L wagon over to my STI, and I had to pay a bunch of money, and the lady at the DMV told me I was good until next year on registation. Turns out she lied, my tags never came.
I went in after I was a month expired to find out I'd been hit with a 60% fee AND I had an unpaid parking ticket, my registration was over 700!!!!!

This is how stupid DMV is, I went there shortly after buying my new 09 Si Sedan wanting to get new plates for it. I really feel the need to get 9-11 Memorial Plates for my new car. I checked 9-11 CA Mem, the check mark went and crossed off the Words for Fire Fighter Association, 5 months later I get a we need Proof of FFA Status. Like Serious? I marked the Box for 9-11 CA Mem no FFA, what *** hats! So do I get a discount next year considering it is going on 6 months and no plates yet? Lady behind the counter told me I did not have to use my current plates since they were Suspended, okay maybe I did not hear her right
