Re: I'm confused... car registration??
When we first came her two people gave me advice. One was an Aus lady...she said the transition would have been easier if English wasn't the US language. The other was a Brit...she said it's not right or wrong...just different.
Those words have often rang in my ears...because it's very true.

I would be interested if I could keep the vanity plate.

If you mean a UK vanity plate. I believe it has to be renewed every year...I've been doing so since 1996. If you let it lapse the title reverts back to the DMVL.

In Mass, it's something like $45 to register a plate I think, $75 a year for the vanity that has to be renewed every November regardless of when you got it and $100 to get it punched...and that's on the normal plate design.

Yes the normal boring cream NJ plate has an animal design on it. You pay extra for the plate...but it goes to the NJ animal shelter.

That tax thread is still burning my gut I guess. As evidenced in this thread, every State has their own way of doing things and is an independent government. It might be easier for people if they compare the US to the EU: different countries with one overlaying ethic and set of rules, but each member still gets their freedom. People don't seem to realize the weight of States Rights.
You can have a special plate + custom on it here, surely you must in California as well?!
You can keep your custom plate too. I still have my mom's California custom tag from .. oh a while ago.

We don't have a pet lover/animal whatsis here. But we have an art one.

One thing that might be worth doing, if you've a local insurance broker and they have a runner, get them so sort all the paper work, that's what our insurance bloke did, worth the $15 runner fee, that person got us our plates, registered the car and everything which is an all day event otherwise
