You would think that after reaming you on petrol taxes, they could give you
a break on the "road tax".
In some states like California, they manage to charge a pretty steep sum for
registering newer cars (technically property tax) without forcing you to stick
more junk in your windshield or creating a theft problem.
But there are 50 states, and each has its quirks. For example, in
California, to renew the registration you have to present the certificate
that shows the car passed inspection. But in New Jersey, to pass inspection
you have to show the renewed registration certificate. (Then they give
you a windshield sticker, but it least it is computer printed and nobody
has any motivation to steal it.)
In many states, each year they send you a couple of little stickers
for your license places that show you renewed the registration. But
it is impossible to peel them off without destroying them.
As for the the disc, couldn't you epoxy it to the glass or something?
