    In reply to Ford GT Wears Entirely Appropriate Vanity Plate
    I've yet to see an Enzo in the flesh, much less with engine bay opened up like a prom date. I have seen a GT in such a state of undress, at a track day, and it was beautiful. Sinful. I wanted to shank the douchebag who got to drive it and take it from him.

    If I had a Ford GT, I wouldn't park it. I'd just drive it! But if I did park it, it would be protected.

    @skaycog was here: That device reminds me of the terrible smell you get when you open up some toy made in a "low-cost-country" with lower-cost plastic.. how it makes you want to retch a little when you let the air out of a beach ball, for example. That beautiful car enveloped by those VOC's .. makes me shudder .. how will they ever get the smell out of the car.

    In AZ, if you can find a plate (on E-Bay, for example), from the original model year of your vehicle that isn't being used on some current plate, you can register that without even paying the extra $25 for a personalized/historic plate. $22.50 for a year with this one on my '69 Volvo 145.

    1. Conspicuously absent is the red white and blue Statue of Liberty plate of the 80s and 90s.

    2. $25? That's a shakedown? Are you fucking shitting me? In South Carolina, you pay property tax on cars, and it's a LOT more than New York motorists pay in registration fees and such. New Yorkers have no reason whatsoever to bitch. If anything, they should be glad to be getting rid of those godawful blue and white plates. #licenseplates

    @LS1RX7owen: Actually, I used to live in SC, but now live in NY.

    In South Carolina, you pay an annual tax on your vehicle that varies with the car's value. Thus, if you aren't driving some kind of worthless jalopy, they stick you good. I believe I used to pay at least $60 PER VEHICLE per year twenty years ago. Registration is a separate fee.

    Since state law says insurance companies aren't allowed to discriminate against bad drivers, insurance rates are the highest in the nation, and most auto insurers have already fled the state.

    In New York, registration fees are a flat $24/year. The tags are only changed out every several years. Given that the blue and white plates we currently have SUCK BIG TIME, I'm not complaining. #licenseplates

    I don't want to hold up California as a model of, well, anything but at least here you get a plate and it stays the life of the car. They just issue a highly visible sticker that tells the cops what month and year the registration expires. #licenseplates
