Plates
Today we got
our new license plates for our car. When we purchased the car, Toni, at the
dealership, took care of the registration for us. He entered all the
information into his computer and all we had to do was wait until France mailed
us a Gris Card. The Gris Card would be kept in the car at all times, in case a
friendly police officer stopped us and wanted to see it.
Once we had
the Gris Card, we took it to the dealership and Toni made us a set of license
plates. Yep, no trip to the local courthouse needed. The dealership makes the
license plates right there in the garage. They consist of a plexiglass plate
and a printed sticker sandwiched together. Toni took our Gris Card which had
the assigned number on it and printed off two stickers, pressed them to the
plastic plates and wahlah, new plates. The license plates are attached to the
car with pop rivets, no fussy nuts and bolts, just drill out the old rivets and
pop the new ones in. The mechanic had it done in no time. Since we have a
bumper hitch on our car, Toni asked me if I would like an extra plate, in case
I later get a trailer. “Sure,” was my reply, and in two minutes he handed me
another plate.
Total time
at the dealer to get our new plates and have them installed, ten minutes.
