in Washington you can transfer plates to a new vehicle.

Used to be you could transfer the plate to your next car. Of course I've not purchased a plate for Indiana for 20+ years.

Same as in Alabama....this just started several yrs. ago. I remember the time when if you sold or traded your vehicle, the license plate had to stay with the vehicle, and the new owner had to keep that plate, or pay to buy a new one.

I have a license plate frame that says "Quilting is my therapy"

I have one that says QLTR 1

I know we've gone to the license bureau and transferred a plate to a different car.

If I could have one I think it would be LV2QLT. But I have disabled vet tags so that one is out for me.

Beauty ring on my car says "Road tripping to another Quilt Shop". It was a birthday present from a quilting friend of mine. Have had some interesting conversations with quilters in parking lots and have made some good friends because of that GIFT !!! Needless to say, I always take it with me if I am sell the car.

I'm not familiar with CA laws, but in this neck of the woods, the plate wasn't any good after you sold it. My daughter kept her plates WMNFLY on her car for a long time, but gave it up after she left NH, although she's still working at airports.

Mine is QUILTZ!
