I got a letter from the state a couple weeks ago saying that my license plate was old and needed to be replaced because it was likely faded and cracked. They would be sending one in the mail to replace the old and it needed to replaced as soon as I got it because the new registration would be in their system and the old would be taken out.
I honestly didn't think my old plate looked that bad.
So the new plate came in the mail and I went out to try and change them out. I couldn't even get the screws to budge. I texted my son and asked if he would be able to do it for me. That was on Wednesday and I told him I would wait until the weekend. I had the new plate in the car and I figured if I happened to get pulled over I could show them the new plate and explain my problem.
Saturday morning I went to my sons and he got it taken care of for me. I forgot to take a picture of the new plate though .

I've never heard of this happening!!
Like Ginny, never heard of such a thing.
The old one looks fine to me!
They sent me a new one last year also and mine was fine.
I bet you look really spiffy with your new plate, but, as you say, there's nothing much wrong with the old one.
Ann we see so many here that are almost illegible due to fading
Glad you got your son's help the screws were probably rusted needed man elbow grease.
OK no to see you new plate at least on the interWEBS~~

Que bom que você conseguiu, aqui no Brasil não recebemos pelos correios, Ann boa quarta-feira bjs.
I'm happy your son took care of this for you. Hubby spends a lot of time fixing things for me.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
I did not know they did this. I have a personalized plate on my SUV and I am so ready to change it out.. Everyone knows where I am at all the time..Many times people will say, I saw that you were at the mall. don't get a personalized plate!! lol
Yeah, I'm with you, Ann.... I don't think this old plate was bad at all. I guess the state needed something to spend their money on....or needed someone to hassle....or both! Sheesh! Love, Andrea xoxo
Next time, WD40 sprayed, let set a couple of good seconds then try it again. See, I am not just a pretty face!! lol.
Did you have to pay for it or was it free? I thought your old plate was fine!
No, your old plate doesn't look bad at all!
Glad your son was able to muscle it off. ;)
That's a new one for me too. Never heard of getting new plates without just paying for a new one. Good for you and its great that your son could come to your rescue.

It looks fine to me too. I've never heard of them just sending out new plates.
I don't think I have heard about that before and yes, your plate looks good to me. I'm glad the your son was able to come and put the new one on.
