$250 a year?!?  You talking vehicle registration?  My truck is $89.62, add a dollar if I mail it in.   I'm pretty sure it goes by weight/capacity and it's a one ton.  I guess I'll quit complaining about paying that $90 now.

[Peelz]

yep, vans are classified as a truck, and charged a penalty.  Until 5 years, and 10 years, there is a reduction. But will be 65.00 at it's lowest.

Agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco use armed force attempting to serve Branch Davidian leader David Koresh with a search warrant (one with no actual evidence of any illegal activity whatsoever), in what the BATF viewed as a publicity stunt to improve their image. While the agents carefully coordinated the raid with eleven different media outlets, something apparently tipped off Koresh and things do not go well: six Davidians and four ATF agents were killed. The warrant instead could have been served peacefully, while Koresh did his daily morning jog.
