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.

I agree. With that being said, My e30 does look like a pile of shit. How many fucks given? None.

people abuse the historic plate tags here.. i see some total pieces of shit with H tags from Maryland/PA.

Just stick some bottlecaps or weaves on and snap the front and side pics...

As long as it looks relatively CLOSE to factory spec stock...even OEM+ it should be approved.

in illinois antique plates are $30 first year and $6 less per year.BUT "you may only drive the car to and from antique exhibitions,demonstrations or to obtain repair work"

[Exodus_2pt0]

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.

[Vin-barrett]

Don't worry about it...
Just go to DMV with a photo of the front and the side. They dont know what modified looks like and do not inspect the car in any way.

I cannot speak to the mileage restriction but if your gonna daily drive a E30 (or any car) with QQ's I think your asking for trouble. YMMV

My QQ car barely does 1000 miles a year and even that car has standard coverage (Not Classic insurance like Hagerty etc...)

looking into getting historic plates for my 87 and according to the application the car must be up to original manufactures specs. wtf?!

Just saw a Chevy Cavalier with a classic tag today...

[enigmaticdream]

I wish NC didn't have a 30 year requirement for historic/classic cars. 4 more years until my 87 can register :(

[slammin.e28]

^thought about that b.c insurance says you can only got like 2,000 to 5,000 miles a year if I recall correctly. BUT my odometer dosent work soooo...:roll:
