What's the breakdown on that? It didn't cost me very much at all to
move from NH to Texas (and didn't cost my sister very much when she did
the same a few years after I did). Then again, I didn't own a car, so
all my expense was just to get a new license. Is some of it to deal
with registration of a vehicle?
