Good morning!!!!

[Bird]

Alien asked, "Bird, do you have to get a roadworthy inspection before your fego can be renewed yealy?"

The simple answer is "YES" but I guess nothing is simple in these days. In Texas, ALL vehicles require an annual "safety" inspection. Then in some counties, basically the most populated, highest density, and therefore more traffic, such as where I live, require an emissions test also. And that test and inspection is required each year before you can renew the registration.

BUT Alien, I'm not even sure I'm answering correctly because I don't really know for sure what you mean by "fego".

I really don't know, Don. I just followed the instructions that came with the registration renewal notice, and it was certainly different from any in the past. It said "Renew online @ www.texas.gov". That appeared normal BUT there it shows "Renew vehicle registration with TxT". It appeared to be using a private company to handle it, and they wanted all kinds of information, but the same costs as on the renewal notice. My credit card company shows the charge to "Denton VEHRES" instead of Texas Department of Public Safety. If there was an option to renew another way, I sure didn't find it.

We got our "free" tests today from Uncle Sam. Anyone notice where they were made? ITOTKO.

Yes, same here.

On my inspection sticker renewal notice came with the two step web site. I entered my license plate number and the last 4 of VIN and all of the info came up as was on the renewal notice. Also was $1 less by doing it on-line. It might be county specific.
I had the amount less $2 taken out by my county VEHRES and then the $2 state processing fee taken out as TX.GOV*SERVICEFEE-DIR

fego Aussies have a habit of adding "o" to words they shorten. Hence servo for service station, arvo for afternoon fego was meant to be rego which is short for registration. Down here you have to learn to talk Stryn

Southern speak vs northern vs mid western vs western. Slang so to speak. New Yorkers think I speak Greek, Minnesotan’s think I’m from Alabama personally I don’t notice how I speak

Yes bird.. I had a finger slip. Should have been 'rego' as we call it here. Tried to reply earlier but my back-up computer died in the middle of it. Have a nice arvo.
Now reduced to my tablet.

Thanks

I was in Alabama where my folks are from, about fifty five years ago. A man asked me where I was from and I said North Carolina. His reply was,”I knowed youse from up north somewhere!”
