So who's going with Historical Plates in 2012?
So the 1987 Mazda Rx-7's are now Historical anyone switching over to Historical Plates other than me. This also mean's no more emission check's for me over here in Cleveland, Ohio so I'm super excited. Anyone care to share?

Sheriff pulled me over last night for defective exhaust and slightly expired tabs(Jan 17th)... told me to get some classic plates and i won't have to worry about either. Went to high school with his little brother and he let me off with a written warning.

Don't think it matters for some of these cars, but doesn't that also put a limit on which days you can drive the car. I am pretty sure in TN, the car can only be driven on Fri, Sat, and Sun if registered with a classic tag. Also, I think you can only put so many miles on it. Something like less than 7500 or so.

I can only speak for Ohio because that's the only one that I'm really sure of. To register for a historical plate:
1) Vehicle needs to be 25 yrs of age
2) Be driven less than 500 miles a year
3) Only driven to and from car meets
Several people over here don't abide by these rules and don't get caught so I doubt that I'll have any real trouble. I think you could just lie to them about how many miles have been put on the car or just say your on your way back from a car meet. Regardless I don't believe the police are going to give you any trouble for having them.
For other states I'm sure you could just Google the requirements fairly easily and just try to find out how big of jerks the cops are around you.

For those of you that have the chance to get them... Take it. As long as it gives you some sort of advantage. Otherwise, tell "Johnny Law" to "Lick 'em!"
