just get that hull wet before the summer is over..

Do the water cops ever check the reg numbers?
Reason I ask is here in Illinois you renew your car sticker every
year. The sticker is a couple inches long and a 1/2 inch wide.
Gets stuck on the plate.
The cops look at that, because I got stopped once after forgetting to
put the new sticker on.
The only thing readable without getting real close is month
and year of expiration. There's a very tiny serial number but the
average cop would need a magnifier to read it.
Couple weeks ago my kid noticed his sticker was missing.
Some lame-ass had actually peeled it off, leaving a corner
behind, probably to stick it on his own expired plate.
If he gets stopped and the cop runs the plate, it'll probably
be flagged as expired, but I don't know for sure.
Cost the kid 20 bucks for a replacement sticker.
They should go back to new plates every year, which is job creation
for the convicts.

Is not uncommon for sticker theft here in Calif. Very expensive
registration. $25 or so dollars plus 2% of the value of the vehicle. Bad
thing about the sticker replacment. Cost. Couple years ago, I had to get a
replacement license plate for the trailer. Get the plate and a new sticker.
Costs $2 less than just getting a replacement sticker.
