Re: [ihc] Antique plates--Good or Bad?

["Ryan Moore" <baradium@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Those are annoying laws!  It'll depend on how often you drive it.  As Joel
mentioned, it could be annoying in some cases.

In GA they are a little different.   Once a vehicle is 25 years old it
automatically no longer needs emmissions of any kind.  You can *choose* to
get antique vehicle plates if you want, but there are no limitations imposed
by having them and they don't even cost anything extra to get them.  For
example, the Scout has normal plates and the '70 chevy pickup has antique
plates, but they are both eligible to get either one and neither vehicle
requires emissions (GA doesn't have any other type of vehicle inspection).
Btw, why do we call them "plates" even when we only have one plate?

I'd never want to register as something that had a limit on mileage.  But
that's all up to you.  My scout is my only driver at the moment and 3,000
sure is a small number,  even for a secondary vehicle.
