It was bound to happen. And I bet it happens to us here in Maryland, too. I see too many people abusing the antique plates as just a way to avoid the vehicle inspection.
There is a guy down the road with an early '80's Grenada or something like that -- it's rusty, the paint is nearly off, the windows are cracked and the muffler is hanging by a wire. It smokes a lot, too. But it's okay because he has Historic plates ...
