It's more like $100 every year here on an old beater. It scales with value so it can easily be several hundred a year on a new car. $15 is much more reasonable, although given how much we already pay in every fucking kind of tax I really hate profit generating "service fees" in general, even if they're only milking me for $15.
At least I live in an area outside of the major metro so I don't need emissions thanks to a rural exemption.
Emissions as far as I know is still handled by a state sanctioned monopoly with like 3 testing stations in the whole metro area. I believe it was around $50 the last time I had to do it around '07. It's an extra layer of sucks ass if you live in the metro area or burbs.
Oh yeah when you buy a new car, you get to pay sales tax and registration on it!
Colorado is like a less obviously retarded California. We get some basic shit right, like we know how to manage wild lands and control fires, and have reasonable water infrastructure and mostly fair water rights, we have like one really dumb magazine law no one cares about because it's impossible to enforce...but some stuff is just full retard and it's usually because someone is made money on the deal.

Damn THAT sucks! How can they rationalize that? Sounds like taxation without representation to me. Ridiculous.

Damn dude your state is fucked!
I forgot we have emissions testing here every other year. I don't remember the cost but I think it's $7
