:lol: I can't tell if you're serious or not.  I'd never put a political sticker on my car.  You instantly make half the people on the road dislike you.

Putting a political sticker about a country you don't even live in is some high level crazy.

This kind of makes me want to put a political sticker on your car.

Nah, I'm thinking Howard Dean 2004.

People would be like "That car wasn't even available in 2004. That bald man must love Howard Dean. Oh my god, is it Howard Dean? Thank you for your devotion to our country sir, we thought you would have made a great president. Let's get the fuck out of here before Howard Dean screams."

I used to have one that said "can you find the Mystery Spot?" (Mystery Spot being a tourist trap in the UP).

Sold that car to a smokin hot college girl...

Appraiser coming tomorrow. This will determine the tax I'll need to pay when getting registration, the "vintage auto" license plates, and most importantly, the eligibility for antique car insurance, which is about $100 for the year. Took the seats out today and did a full vacuum, detailed the interior, and installed new black/gray plaid seat covers.

AFAIK most places are 25+ years old for a vintage plate. '86 is 31 years old.

It's always been 20 years here, which makes '97s eligible.

Anything older and there's no floorboards left, right?  :lol:

No seriously California is 25 years, but the vehicle must have some historic significance. I guess that would be open to interpretation.

It might be 25.

And there's a vintage plate, and then a "historic" one and I'm not sure what the difference is.

And I only have a soft spot in the one floorboard.

I don't like most historic/vintage plates. The majority have a model T or something, which is totally different than a muscle car.

In ID IIRC, historic is something like 75 years, and classic is 25 or 30 years. They place restrictions on when those cars can be driven, as well, so you're no supposed to drive a classic plated car as a commuter. I doubt the law is often enforced.

The cool ones are when you can use either the original plates or plates from the same year as the car.

Even if the car was $100, and it was over 20 years old, I still req an appraisal to calculate the tax I have to pay when getting it registered in my name. For newer cars they just use blue book value. The 2nd reason for the appraisal is for insurance. A car over 25 yrs old qualifies for vintage status, and the insurance is some 75% less than regular insurance.

Payman

Appraised value for tax purposes... $500. Appraised value for insurance... $4500. Actual resale value... somewhere between the two. In reality if I were to sell it I'd be asking $2500-3000.

Can't sell it though. Like a stray puppy, wife and daughter would kill me if I got rid of it.  :lol:

Wow.  Seems like a lot of work and cost for something that only cost $1000 :lol:

In the US, you just list whatever you sold it for on the bill of sale & title, and they tax you when you go to get it titled in your name.

Insurance is based on model, year, age, etc.  No one comes and looks at it at all.
