From 1997.
“For those of you who like to ‘switch tags,’ at least give us a good challenge and don’t use a license plate that is over 20 years old and expired back in 1997!”

One time I forgot to renew my plates.
Once you do that they no longer send renewal notices.
So I didn’t think about it.
Seven years later a busybody, walking into the business I was in, widely announced “That truck out front has expired plates.”
That was me.
Seven years.
I did renew.
Saved almost $1,000.
I neglected to renew twice, each time I was ticketed within 30 days. Good thing that was the only thing I was guilty of at the time. I’m pretty sure they had visions of taking me in each time.
He was driving a DeLorean and went by the name of Doc ….Emmett ‘Doc’ Brown…
And the cops took only 23 yrs to notice? The dude deserves a participation trophy at least!
think about it for a moment … where were you in 1997?
Princess Diana dies, Mike Tyson bites off Evander Holyfield’s ear, Kyoto Protocol is signed, Heaven’s Gate nutjobs crowd up Hell, Tony Blair becomes PM, Dolly the sheep is cloned, first book of Harry Potty, ‘Titanic’, gas is $1.22, avg. house price $124k, Great Britain gives Hong Kong to China, Avian Bird Flu starts in Hong Kong & William Jefferson Blythe III Clinton is still president, John Denver & Chris Farley died
… but, cheer up, Notorious B.I.G. was killed
It was in Louisiana so it’s not like this happened in the US or anything.
What, not a Florida man???
I just realized my Ford Ranger is now eligible for “classic” plates.
I don’t care, cracked side mirrors, rust holes and all, those plates will be proudly displayed for all to see while I’m pushing it home!
I still get renewal notices from a state I moved from 5 years ago.
Here in BC the car registration is evidence of the required car insurance which can only be purchased from a government corporation. Needless to say they are all over you if your plates are expired. No wonder it isn’t very cheap.
Secondary insurance can be purchased on the open market, but there aren’t many companies that bother. In BC. The private insurance may be cheaper than the secondary insurance from the government provider, but that is not saying much.
I saw a beautiful 1941 Cadillac convertible with the original Wash. license plates on it the other day. That was one classy car, I wonder who owns it. And there was a guy down in Kennewick, Wash. who drove a beautifully restored 1931 Studebaker sedan also with the original Wash. license plates. I would see it in the McDonalds’s parking lot in Kennewick on Friday mornings. I love to see vintage cars with the correct license plates. Not too crazy about some of the POS older cars with collector plates on them, some of them are nice but most are junk.
