I live in NY and I've never had to turn in any of my plates after taking insurance off a car, selling a car, etc. I just throw them in a pile in the garage. So long I don't use them or put them on a car, I've been fine. I thought that was legal, as I've heard many radio-ads (paid by the ad concil) talking about how one should recycle plates- they say to bend them in half, put some spry paint on them and put them in the blue bins. My cousin takes his plates off with the insurance every winter on one of his cars, never sends the plates anywhere, and he's in NY. Maybe there are local laws on this in addition to the states ones? ___ On the 8-track note, rescue mission type junk stores sell 8-tracks for almost nothing. Somewhere, I've got a copy of every Beatles and Pink Folyd 8-track ever released... elsewhere I know I've got several working 8-track machines (couple hi-fi units, one portable, etc). --- Daniel M Wing <imp1983@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > ===================== > Rob wrote: > In NY you have to turn in the plates immediately if > you take insurance > off > the vehicle.
