Then again, I bet you guys have public transportation that's actually worth a damn.

The public transit is pretty good locally. It doesn't seem unusual to me, I paid continuing property taxes on vehicles in NY, CT, and RI. The 44 a year for 4 cars is about the same as the 9 bucks a year for one car I paid 5 or 6 years ago, so im assuming its been a gradual tax rate increase and the same as it was. None of my cars have ever been worth anything anywhere though.
You also pay sales tax at the time of the sale, and property tax on the vehicles since you own them as property.
Not paying property tax on a car seems completely unusual actually. Must be nice.
Then again I live in a small state with a high population that needs lots of public services, same as a lot of the New England states.
