Must be an East vs. West thing, I know in California plates stay with the
car too as I have the original CA plates from my Peugeot 504. Not the case
in New England! I have one set of plates that have been on four different
cars in the past five years. They even give you credit for the unused % of
the registration. Good thing too, as Maine is not a nice place to register
cars - my fleet costs me over $1000 per year.
