POOPERS
Well, so much for my plan to not get pulled over before my New Mexico car registration expires. I got pulled over this morning because the registration sticker on my license plate was partially covered by the stupid Garcia Honda license plate holder. It's only a fixit ticket, but more than just giving up my New Mexico license and registration, I am giving up my last shred of New Mexican identity. (Except for my undying love of green chile and peculiar pronunciation of the word "room.")
But in all honesty, I'm pretty disappointed at having to get a California driver's license and license plate since I thought I was pretty cool with my swanky NM driver's license and bright yellow license plate.
All good things must come to an end, I suppose. I just hope I can still find my car once it has one of those damn white plates on it.

At least it was just a fixit ticket -- the fine for the out-of-state license and plates is a few hundred dollars. I've fortunately never had to pay that, since the only time a cop thought about giving me a ticket for my PA plate (which I don't have any more) was when he was responding to an accident in which I'd totaled my car. He felt enough pity to not write up the ticket, though he didn't feel enough pity to keep him from giving me a rather stern lecture. :P
