Backlog for License Plates?

m3soupy · 12-05-2009, 11:39 AM

I've heard there was a huge backlog for license plates at the DMV from the "Cash For Clunkers" program.
It's been over a month for me and I haven't received my new plates yet in California.

How long did it take for you to get your plates?

Got the car on July 21st. Received plates early September probably due to cash for clunkers. Btw, i'm in CA.

Got my car in early September and got my CA plate 3 weeks after and another week after that for my vanity plate!

It's pretty typical to take 3-5 weeks in CA. Or you can be like most douche MBZ drivers down here in LA and never put your plate on so it looks like you always have a new car.

Why do some many MBZ drivers do that?

Booked plate on line, called DMV to make sure order was correct, got plates delivered 2 weeks after, I'm in NY.

I had to call NYSDMV to explain what M3V8 ment, all was fine after that, plates were delivered two weeks later.
