Madrid deck with Lazer trucks and Hobie conicals. I do miss my skating days, but the tricks skaters are doing today are out of this world compared to the 70’s. 😳
Not sure actually....I think I got them both around the same time...def. recommend tho....no inspection and one time fee is pretty awesome

Just a reminder, no inspection on anything 1995 and older anymore. Regardless of plates.
which makes sense....i figured they got rid of the old tail pipe sniffer emissions machines a long time ago.
That was my understanding from browsing the DMV site, so I didn't see any obvious advantage to the QQ plates. When they asked what I wanted I said regular plates. Then the guy at DMV handed me the pink temp inspection card, which had me second guessing things, however the Flemington DMV guy getting it wrong is not out of the realm of possibility. He did have all his teeth though, so that makes him 5% more reliable in my book.
@Carson Is there an exemption sticker or something similar needed for this? Or just that I wouldn't be ticketed on inspection if I got pulled over?
One time reg fee sounds like it would be worth it, so I might just go this route when it expires next year. One day of DMV action (also inspected the wife's car which expired in 2023) was enough for me.

Always do your research outside of the DMV, those people will give you the wrong information. Things like QQ plates are .00001% of what they deal with so they'll often give wrong info.
What's even more fun than QQ is Collector Car in NJ. There's an inspection basically to verify it's a car. I showed up with just a driver's seat and almost nothing working and the inspector was pretty pissed off having to pass it.

No exemption sticker. I suggest scraping clean any old sticker on the windshield now. Goo Gone is your friend. That helps as out of sight, out of mind.
Keep this on your phone in case you meet a dumb cop. In typical NJ fashion, the state buried the change in administrative code instead of amending the traffic law requiring inspection (39:8-1)
Awesome, thanks

At least it looks like it has some metal there. These are usually about 95% rust. 😀
