Re: Tag-o-rama Gone Global
Yeah, I found out that different states have very different rules about the antique plates. In Tennessee, you only have to buy them once and they are good "for life", but you aren't supposed to drive at night, or over a certain number of miles in a year and it's not supposed to be used as a daily driver. In Georgia, where I live, I was able to get them for my truck, it only had to be over 25 years old, and there are no restrictions. There are also no perks, other than the look of the license plate, you still have to renew each year just like any car and the fees are the same.

Re: Tag-o-rama Gone Global
In England, the term "antique" is only applied to really old, inanimate, objects. Old cars are either "vintage" or "veteran", depending on their age. Every year there is a veteran car rally from London to Brighton, & it's really famous. I can't remember exactly which years veteran or vintage cover, but I know that it's an exact terminology, & the owners would be upset if you called their car by the wrong term.
So ............ What's the latest date you'd class as "antique"?

Re: Tag-o-rama Gone Global
I'm not sure, and I might get corrected, but I think around here an antique car is one that's over 25 years old. Not consistent I know. I was always taught that an antique had to be over 100 years old, generally.
But then, in England, even a 900 pound 1800cc Goldwing is a "motorbike".

Re: Tag-o-rama Gone Global
I'm okay with any "older" car you think will fit into the category, the object is to get out and ride not nit pick the rules.
Around my area of Georgia there's almost always a gathering of "restored" vehicles in some parking lot over the weekend, either Wal-Mart, or a Checkers Drive in or somewhere. If the weather is pretty, there will be a group of older car enthusiasts out there displaying their work. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
