That sucks I was so excitied to get mine I sent the application without the plate number. It's been a month and I still don't have the plates. How long did it take to receive the sticker?

 

You state good thru 2007, but from what I read there is a total limit that will be issued by the State....Do you think I will be able to get? Iam taking delivery in 10 days but if I have to wait for the plates that could take another 8 weeks..

 

AAA offered no help at all. I contacted DMV and yes I have to go through the entire application process all over again!

A body shop offered to remove the stickers for me by heating up the back of the bumper to make the stickers easier to remove. I will try to remove them the day before I take it to the body shop. I am waiting 2 weeks until I finish my contract so that I can continue to drive in the HOV lane into downtown LA (45 min commute).

I am fine, my sister was fine, and the boys that hit me were fine. Maybe they learned a lesson and will stop racing?

My MPG dropped by 5 because of the extra piece of bumper sticking out causing drag. I will know for sure in a couple of days how it affected my mpg when I post my next fill up.

Maybe it's time I cancel AAA. They don't seem to help with much at all!

 

Unlikely. Maybe the crash knocked your wheels out of alignment.

 

You know, I thought about this a little. When I went through my initial sticker dilemna knowing they were intransit, some people encouraged me to use the HOV lane. In this case, in the unlikely event you were pulled over, you do have bonafide access rights and could show the cop your sticker or document. I'd be in the HOV lane even if I didn't have one sticker because it was being replaced.

But that's just me... I am really spoiled driving in the carpool lane!!

Good luck.

I knew it did something; 48.1 mpg this tank

 

Friend's thinking of buying a HCH in CA. Sticker # check. I'd like to figure out if the window for getting a car and sticker here in So Cal is still open! I sure love mine!!!

Thanks in advance,
Lansing
