The price you pay for living in a state with little public transit, high population, and an environment that supports pollution with probably an underground system for passing smoggy vehicles.

I would feel angry as well as I have a 95 Camry and the 92 Montero - both maintained well and in excellent condition. I even replaced the CAT on the Montero even though there are no checks here to see if it's removed.

Maybe just remove the plates and trailer it to off road sites.
