    I know there was a loophole in California about registering a vehicle without a valid driver's license because my then 81 year old grandmother did just that - by registering her car through the AAA office instead of going to DMV. She hadn't had a driver's license since the 1950s and did have a succession of valid "learner's permits" but couldn't pass the driving exam. I didn't want her to get a license or even be driving around - but there was not much I could do about it because the cops were on her side "cute little old lady!" and whenever she wrecked the car it was only doing stuff like scraping cars in the parking lot. Then one day when she was then 83 she called me up and asked me to come get the car. I don't know what happened - the car was fine - but something obviously scared her and she never wanted to drive again.

    Agreed. And apparently the moderators tacitly encourage these shameful attacks.

    But this IS Page 13, after all????!

    Here in Kentuck, you just:
    1) take an old license plate that is hangin' up in the barn
    2) screw it on the back of your hooptie
    3) throw some clay or mud on it to obscure the fact that it has been expired for 10 years
    4) you're good to go (no front plate here)!

    If you get stopped, just have to say, "Oh, I forgot..." :yes:

    No, not "ALWAYS"... just when it suits his needs.

    Here is a ball of contradictions...

    The pcgs price guide is just that, a guide. I just use it as a reference for my slabbed coins.

    Are completed listings better? Yes, but that doesn't take account for what they did.

    It would be one thing if they looked up the completed listings, and took into account my coins were slabbed, but they just looked up my coins, not caring that they were slabbed.

    The coin is the same coin whether it is slabbed or not.
    I would not care much either.

    It's even easier in CT. There no longer is a month /year sticker on the plate. People were stealing them by taking tin snips and cutting off the corner of the plate and reconstructing at their leisure. Now we get a reverse sticker you stick to the inside of your front windshield. Cops can't tell from behind you if it is current unless they radio it in.
