<VV> California Plates

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Brent - In California, the $50 covers the issuance of the plates.  
Installing the plates does add a yearly amount to register the car. (Probably a  
one-time fee for the transfer as well). I have a pair of personalized  plates. 
24RACER (Also my phone number !) on the "Yenko" and "AUTOXER" on my C6  
Vette.  The interest the plates cause is, to me, well worth the yearly fee.  (At 
least at my current income - things may change) -Seth

That's a  very true statement, since in the case of the YOM (Year of 
Manufacture) plate  system in Ontario, they have decided  to gouge the consumer, 
since in Ontario you first have to buy a set of YOM  plates and then they 
charge you $251 (versus $50 in California) to register  them, and every year 
thereafter you have the "privilege" of paying an annual  renewal fee of $80 
versus the approx $20 renewal fee that would apply if you  simply went the 
historic plate route, for which the plate only costs $20 at  the outset.
