CA Considering Rereleasing Old Plates

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...#slide=1038828

As someone who got pulled over for having a black replica plate, I'm rather excited about this news. CA is considering issuing black and yellow plates again, as well as the blue/yellow from the 70s.

As the article states,
Quote:
The DMV, however, will not establish the program unless it has received at least 7,500 paid applications for plates before January 1, 2014.
Who's with me?

You were running a replica plate?
On the front?
A replica plate made with current license number?

I got a plate styled exactly like the CA 60s plates made with my actual plate characters. Apparently the issue is that it's not reflective enough No plates on the front (got a ticket for that too )

Got the plate from http://www.cr8apl8.com/

Here's a link to the bill:
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/...d_asm_v98.html

The answer: full refund if they don't get the 7500 applications. Off to go find that application now...

I think the bill needs to pass before the DMV posts an application.
