Why don’t you register your car or pay insurance? Do you have magic tires that never need to be replaced? Is gas approximately $0/gal where you live? Or does you car get such insane gas milage that driving any distance uses approximately 0 gallons of gas?

That doesn’t even take into account the ridiculous cost to tax payers of maintaining roads for personal vehicles.
