I was thinking about getting antique plates last time I was waiting for my inspection. But then the mechanic found a bad bulb I had wired backwards and was getting super hot.

I think I like having someone go over my vehicle (even in a limited way) and make sure nothing is crazy wrong.

Taxachusetts is not so bad.

No need for antique plates, no smog checks for cars 1983 and earlier so all 914's are welcome! Reg fees $41 every 2 years but you need to do a safety inspection every year for $29.

It just sux because the driving season is only about 6 months.

Colorado is easy. The state rules are almost non-existent, the counties make up whatever they want. Denver and Jefferson counties are almost the same, and like JHadler said.

If you have a PO box in Platte Canyon county, it's no smog check necessary because they're doofy farm folk. Register with the state five years at a time. 43 bucks for 5.

From what I can see, we all have it pretty good.

California is pretty friendly to '75s and earlier.

In the UK (where I'm from) you'd have to pass an annual inspection, plus deal with a lot of rain and lots of salt on the roads. The annual inspection in the UK is pretty strict... everything has to be working very well. As an example, the handbrake has to hold the car on an incline after 2 or 3 clicks.

I moved out of my home state of Virginia about 20 years ago. Too much BS with car stuff back then, not to leave out being taxed to death and no jobs in the blue ridge area worth doing.

Here in Ohio for antique plates you pay one low fee. You don't have really any restrictions. They also let you use period license plates, that get attached to your antique plates. I have 1973 plates on mine. There are also no mileage quotas, driving after dark crap and the like. We don't have inspections in Columbus as our government and the people hate them and as I hear will be closing inspection centers in Dayton and other areas.

Honestly, I could care less whether the registration is $50 more or less per year. The best place to own a 914 is where it is not too hot, not too cold, not too rainy, fairly dry (low humidity), and no snow (or salt), so that you can enjoy your 914 all year around. S.F Bay Area along with many other places meet this description.

BTW: I pay around $50/year registration. No smog or inspection.

Good idea! If I didn't wreck the Beater I'd be there. Just fixed it to reasonble par just to beat it up again hence the name "The Beater". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I have both my 914s registered as regular vehicles. Too many restrictions on antique or classic cars like no driving at night and no driving to work. $36 each per year for registration, no emissions for cars over 30 years old.

Yearly inspections are about $17-20. I don't mind the inspections since if you can't pass inspection, your car has some serious issues. Inspection issues I've run into have been burned out light bulbs, bad ball joints/tie rod ends, worn brake pads/rotors/tires; all major safety issues.

I have Haggerty insurance for both, $91 per year per car.

Great Insurance rate. Is that full coverage? What about a phone number for Haggerty bro. I pay $600 every six months for two cars. I'm getting raped! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

The agreed value for both cars is $5K. I hooked up with Hagerty through a local insurance guy. On my statement, the Service and Claims # for Hagerty is 800-922-4050. When I had just the 71 insured through Hagerty, it was $119. When I added the 74, the premium jumped to $182. I guess they figured I couldn't drive both at the same time.

California SUCKS! Don't even think of bringing your 914 to this state. Stay away. This is the most terrible state in the union. If you know anyone who is considering moving to California, have them PM me and I'll explain why they should never come here. If you have a 914 it must be painted black or yellow or it can't be brought in to the state. No kidding. It's true. Plus you can only drive a Porsche on weekends no more than 10 miles a day. DON'T EVER MOVE HERE.
Cheers, Elliot

And did I mention insurance? It costs a minimum of $4000 a year for each car over 25 years old and that's just for liability. (The lawyers here are ruthless) The weather sucks and the air is bad. STAY THE FUCK AWAY. You'll hate it here, I guarantee it.
