Default Will your LS eventually have a license classic plate on it?

typo, "classic license plate"

Figuring that the newest LS430 is almost 12 y.o., are you planning on taking it to 15 years and beyond? Especially if you purchased it in the last 1-3 years? I guess a 2003 and older, already qualifies.

I guess we can talk about it then, but I do plan on putting such plates on at least this car and the 335i. Only 3 and 4 yrs. away.....just to be clear, I want it to say classic, not antique....

20 years makes sense, that's what a classic would be to me....then, I was thinking maybe the plate is more appropriate if you've had it all that time...I'm thinking now, maybe the LS won't get it, and the BMW will, and the BMW will get antique when it is 25, since I'm the original owner....

I ran into a gentleman with the original M3, with the blister flares....I said man that was a cool car when I was a kid! He was the original owner, and said, what, it's not cool today?! That's me in 2031....

well in maryland the plate designation is "historic" and its twenty years.

Doubt I'll have the car at that point but hard to say. If everything else is electric I for sure won't be selling it. Drove a Tesla S the other day and was thoroughly bored.

Qualifies as a classic when you see them in parades?
