Modified cars can't be historic? Goddamnit!

[ohthejosh]

But then it's not up to mfg specs 'cause I'm pretty sure the car came off the line with the odometer working. No historic for you.

How would they know it doesn't work? Unless you take an inspector or whoever if anybody checks your car out for a test drive.

2,000-5,000 miles a year you say? But my car has never left my garage ;)

Im surprised your still alive after driving a corvair......

It's actually the most dependable car I have ever owned! And handles pretty well to! :D

Ralph Nader, I presume?



$120/year for vanity?

...and I bitch about the $49/year I have to pay.

Well, $119.

If I wanted to swap out my plates for a less offensive/awesome one I'd have to pay an additional $29 for replacement ones. Vanity tags are only $20 more than regular ones anyways.

I tried to do historic in IL and was denied because of mileage. I asked about driving in winter which was apparently a red flag.

Regardless, I pay $120/yearly for my vanity tag. IL is emissions exempt for anything older than 1994.

I'm not saying I'd be opposed to a VERY basic inspection. But then again that's a slippery slope too.

I'd rather a few people take advantage than ruin it for everyone.

Using historic tags to get a unsafe vehicle on the road is one thing. Using them to keep costs down while driving an old vehicle is another.

Most people don't want to be a danger to themselves or others, of course there will be some idiots.

You need to take a ride up to Western Maryland. These idiots will ruin it for everyone.

have you seen some of the junk in Maryland with historic tags? There are full size trucks with rusty frames that the truck is bent in a V and the top of the bed is rubbing aginst the cab!

I'm a fuggin poet.

How is that abuse?

Condition should not matter. You are helping the enviroment by driving a vehicle that was made 20 years ago vs driving a new vehicle and all of the emissions that go into building it.

Historic should be just that, historic. Who cares what condition it is in.

Edit: Can't seem to find any more info after that... So... maybe killed it with fire.

Yup, It's dead apparently.
