I pressed the clerk at the DMV and finally got her to admit that custom plates are under a different set of rules. I could stick with the original and just pay normal yearly registration with no issues. Apparently, they don't want to "Waste" custom plates for cars that are not on the road, even though I paid the yearly fee ($55ish). It baffles me.
I called my insurance carrier, SF, and they quoted me at $20 a month for liability. That's $240 a year, plus $55 for the plate. Too much for me to justify. I got 2 plates out of it that look cool to hang in the shop or use at shows in the future, so maybe I'm good with it. If anything, next April I'll let it expire and check daily for it to pop up available and get it again! Gotta work the system to your advantage, if you're at a disadvantage.
