The BMW's got temp plates. We've got all sorts of license plates in the garage, so we just put whatever on until the regular plates get in... Right now it's rocking Ireland plates.

No skinny jeans, dickies work pants. Also, the AZ plate is what the car had when it was sold to me, to drive it home and around, I put on a current Florida plate off a friends maserati. so I could test drive it without being pulled over.

How about registering the car, like you're supposed to? You know we have DMV folks lurking on this site, right?

Need to take it for emissions this week, which would have been hard in a car that had the brakes lock up after 5 minutes of driving. It's got temp tags on it right now until I can go register it after getting it to drive just yesterday.
