Yes, and so are license plates.

"Yes, and so are license plates."

ROFL!!! But some states only require one plate on a car, and not two. New York State, the nanny state requires two plates, front and back, and likes to gouge you a hefty price for new plates, then even more if you want a special license. That's why I still have the plates from my 2005 Altima, and have used them on the three past Nissan leases I've had. I don't care if the plates are weather worn. They suit the car just fine.

P.S. I worked in uniform in NY State's prison system for 25 years. I was first assigned to Auburn Prison in Auburn, NY. Auburn is where all the State's license plates and road signs are made. Back then, there was good overtime in the plate shop. They were very busy filling contracts from other states to make their plates and road signs. The inmates volunteered to work through the count and lunch time, because they made more money, and officers got overtime, because they had to confirm the inmates' whereabouts for the noon count, and supervise them while they were working. It was some of the easiest overtime I ever made. In those days, working in the plate shop was a privilege for an inmate, and for the most-part, long-timers with good behavior records were given those jobs.
