with antique plates you CANNOT park the vehicle anywhere except your home and at a show and the gas station. that means no trips to walmart, no taking it to dinner, etc etc. the laws were put in place for exactly your type of person. Someone circumventing the current registration and inspection laws by using a loophole. so they fixed it. If you are caught driving the car more that a certain number of miles in a year, driving it daily, or operating it in any manner other than straight to a bonafied classic car show, you can be ticketed. and its a hefty fine and you lose the privledge to use classic plates for something like 10 years. its no joke.
