False. Any car newer than 1995 requires a title.

They skyrocket. What do you think their plan is? If you're going to shop around be prepared to keep shopping, and keep an eye on the calendar.

As soon as you take the pressure off of yourself to find someone things have a way of working themselves out.

Because that's not what the data says. It's flawed from the start by virtue of using averages for its comparison. It lacks nuance and doesn't account for the differences between Southern Maine and Aroostook county. This is the equivalent of a puff piece news story of kittens jumping on trampolines. It doesn't mean anything. It just is. That's why it's useless.

It's not useful. It's intentionally misleading. Anyone using averages when sharing statistics is either inept or nefarious. Averages can be useful in specific cases but this isn't one of them.
Sorry you've apparently never taken a statistics class. The first thing they teach you is you can make the numbers say whatever you want them to say just by how the information is presented.

Apparently not very well. Numbers don't lie but people using misleading statistics to support their arguments do.
Using median data would be more significantly meaningful here than averages. I don't doubt that the information on this map is accurate, though I haven't verified. Even if it is, it's basically meaningless.

Like every other time maps like these are put together with flimsy statistics, this doesn't paint the whole picture. It's using averages, which usually aren't the best metric since extreme outliers skew the results drastically. Other people here have pointed out special ed classrooms as one of these outliers, for example. Many of Maine's schools have wonderful special needs resources which is a great thing. Many others don't.
You are woefully out of touch with reality with your comment.

School begins before high school. There are elementary/junior high schools with graduating classes of 10.
