What to do with old license plates?
Nov 19^th, 2008 at 1:59pm

So Dyl and I went to the DMV and we transfered the title and registered the old Chevy into his name, ownership, and new set of plates.

So...how does one dispose or recycle the old set?

Now all he needs to do is get a job, and Dad will let him pull the first 6months insurance from the trust account to pay for that and he's ready to go. He has a phone screening at Figi's this afternoon. (Mel knows this place. They sell cheese sausage nut and candy gift sets for the holidays from catalogs)

Ditto!

And yes, I know Figi's well. I applyed there myself and they wanted to hire me but I was hired at another place instead (my choice). My mom worked for Figi's though for a season in the call center and she said it wasn't so bad, pretty easy and they pay fairly well. Of course, that was back about 15 years ago so I don't know how it is now. I think that a lot of how much you like your job has to do with the people you're working with, know what I mean?

Good luck to Dyl, hope he gets the job!

Please destroy it. My daughter in law learned a very valuable lesson. She traded in her old car for a new car. When the car was traded in to the car dealership they never took the plates off the car. Thus when it was sold the new owners had her old plates on the car. They aquired several parking tickets and were in an accident. Also the car was towed to impound yard. Well needless to say she is being held responsible for all the tickets, towing, impound fees, and accident (hit and run). She has proof she sold the car but non the less because her plates where on the car she is being held financialy responsible. She refuses to pay and this has effected her credit. DESTROY THE PLATES WHENEVER DONE WITH THEM!!!!!

Wouldn't there be a predicate that first one must have a garage?

Cheesy

I'll bend the fluck out of them, then toss, since I have nothing to chop them up with. And the apt. complex does not have recycle bins here, so into the dumpster they will go.

California takes them and won't give them back. It used to be that prisoners made some money making them. Maybe they also now make a little bit of $ recycling them here, I don't know.

I have a 1948 license plate from Chicago, Ill. that belonged to my grandfather and yep....it is displayed proudly on my wall in my garage.

I also have a "classic" plate for my Mercury that I begged for and they allowed me to have. How kind of them huh>?

Dyl and I were just talking before he went to bed, about how the gas prices are now vs when I was pregnant with him. How the world is different now.

I was pregnant with Dyl when Reagan was in office and the Berlin wall came down and the regieme of the USSR fell and it became Russia once again.

Being a teen myself and living through the fule crisis during the Carter administration, and the lines backed up for miles just in hope of getting a tank full with cars averaging 12 miles a gallon.

I don't know where this new administration will lead us as a nation. I can only hope that it's better than this last one, and MUCH better than what has transpired over the last 2 years.

ok off my soap box

Sorry to interupt the regularly scheduled programing.

My wife has one of those. She got it when we went to San Diego for a Cluster meet and greet. Lots (more men than women) of people ask "How did you make that?"
She tells them that I made it.
