Our Miata is officially an antique | Garage Rescue Miata

According to the State of Florida, I'm only three years off from also being considered an antique. 

In reply to Colin Wood :

Ah, to be young again. And also a robot. 

I was able to put vintage plates on my miata last year. I was extremely excited, as it means I no longer have to pass smog, which is great for...reasons...

Very cool. 

These were groundbreaking new cars when I joined the SCCA 33 years ago; how time flys.

In reply to calteg :

We don't have smog or even inspections here, and the nice lady at DMV said that, even without the Antique tag, I’d still pay the lower Antique rate.

If it's 1975 or earlier, I believe, here in Florida you can run a year of manufacturer tag. I did that on our Mini and Pontiac wagon, and it looks way cool. 

So in the end, yes, I paid the $31 or whatever for the Antique tag. It made me happy as well. 

In reply to David S. Wallens :

Thanks for reminding me that I can run YOM plates on my '81.

That I just re-registered.  As we say a lot in Browns country, "Next year!"

Actually, I haven't put any of the new stickers on my plates yet... oops

And I have a YOM plate for the Porsche:

And for the windshield, just got this:

In reply to David S. Wallens :

Aaand I just ordered some YOM plates off of eBay for my RX-7.  They had KKM in the number, which is amusing to me since Mazda used the KKM style Wankel instead of the early, purely rotational DKM style that Wankel originally designed.

In Ohio its 25 years to get Historical tags so my '90s been wearing them for 7 years now.
