Couple of Tings

First let me say, that for absolutely no reason we had a good time today at Owl's Head Transportation Museum With a Gang of good friends and a lot full of cars. With some of us thats all it takes is a reason to have a good time, but everybody today didn't need a good reason. So we had a good time without some of you.

I did recieve an interesting Phone Call from an old Friend that hasn't been seen or heard from in a couple of years. He called me with a question on the criteria of the Custom Car plate in Maine.
I dutifully told him all about that and how it could benefit him in the future as it would lift the limited use label from his car and allow him to drive it more than allowed by law now. I then proceeded to ask him Why now after all these years of circumventing the rules of Antique Plates did he wish the information.

This is his story, he drives a brightly colored Dodge Dart that has a very nasty motor in it and a very performance oriented exhaust system. The car comes equipped with all the modifications needed to go racing or be crazy and drive it on the Street. As he was driving up the Hiway he was pulled over by a State Trooper who asked all the right questions, looked over the car in admiration and gave all the paperwork back to my buddy then politely told him to take the car home and remove the Antique Plates from the vehicle as it no longer fit the Criteria of an Antique Vehicle with all the performance modifications making no longer Stock.

It was only a matter of time before the Troopers started doing this. So take this as a warning to all that run Antique Plates on Street Rods and overly Modified Muscle Cars. Register it right or your gonna get picked for a lecture and next time the cop may not like the car.

This next weekend with Shawnee Peak and an NSRA Member Appreciation Day on Sunday will mean I'll need some reports from Shawnee Peak or not. More on that later.
