So the annual tabs were coming due on my wagon ($95) so I decided it was time to look into the Year of Manufacture plate option.

Found a set of 1963 plates for $50 that were in pretty nice shape. Brought them and my title to the local vehicle registration office and in five minutes and $67 I walked out with my plates registered for life... never need renewal!

I like saving money plus they look cool on the car. There are use restrictions, but since I don't drive it daily and don't use it for a taxi... it's not a problem.

Just wanted to throw out there how easy it was... I had been putting it off for fear of the unknown.
