I don't live in Maine (although my cousin does), but I collect plates. I was pulling for you guys to keep these because I think they're hilarious. Looks like it's official they're starting to be recalled. My hope is the owners don't actually turn them in and keep them in their garages.

It’s Maine, so they definitely will keep them.

I have never met anyone in my life that has returned old plates. I knew someone as a kid that had all their old plates displayed in their garage. Didn't learn until a few gears ago that you are supposed to send them back in.

I’ve got an old plate that I bent with my elbow two or three years ago still sitting in my car.

State of Nevada is hardass about it. Nowhere else I know of has cared.

I have all my old plates in Maine. I was very surprised to know they didn't care to have them back. Where I used to live they'd suspend your registration if you didn't turn in your old plates. Wish I had some of the cool ones I've seen and have been impressed with peoples creativity or lack there of. Outwardly offensive? Perfect!

Well assuming from your handle you’re in NC, as am I, we used to be able to keep them but the state has clamped down by issuing fines for license plates not turned in that don’t have liability insurance associated with them.
