Oh, HELL NO! I live in Jersey- the highest rates in the US!
I ain't paying $1000/year, liability-only, to run a car once 
every two weeks! Also, non-collector means daily-driver to 
the state, so it is then required to go through the regular 
inspection process including the new emissions testing. Not
that I don't plan to keep the car up anyway- I just don't 
want the monkeys touching my car. I worked there...I know
how little they give a crap about other people's property.
