Got rid of my paper tags yesterday.

Congrats! LOL...Here we don't drive with temp plates, we get to drive around with a piece of paper taped inside the rear window. And then pray that the tape won't pull off any of the defroster grid when it's removed (which has happened to me). I just got my metal plates last Friday. Kind of drives home the fact that I have a new truck LOL.
You're not alone. I hate driving with the tags that tells people (I can afford/I'm stupid because I bought a new car) or (I'm new, please scratch me). It's just a thing, but totally agree. That said, nothing beats the smell of a new car!

They transferred my old plate over when I purchased. I thought in PA they gave an option for a new plate or transfer, but apparently not. Looking to get a specialty plate in the next year.

I’m not trying to hijack or incite an argument here, but Pennsylvania plates are so unoriginal and not creative at all. It has the same damn color scheme for almost all the specialty plates. Other states took some time to design some creative stuff!
I’m pissed because trading my truck in three weeks ago means I’ll be getting NY’s new plates. I have a name for them but I don’t want to offend anybody
We make fun of them too, but mostly because of this:
On that note, I'll also be getting these new plates soon. I should actually make my dmv appointment now since I have the bill of sale (not the truck yet though). Well I'm not crazy about the plates, I'm even less crazy about Louisiana's temp tag being displayed on the back window.

The only positive of paper tags is that the EZ Pass scanners can’t fine you.
Not that I’d skip tolls but you can just drive right through them.

I did that (accidentally) with my newly-delivered Ram back in 2018. Our Texas TollTag system grabbed a pic of my temporary tag and mailed me a ZipCash bill. No free rides!
Well you all inspired me to make my dmv appointment, so as of Thursday I should have it registered and have the plates. Probably won't have the truck by then but at least it will be completely ready to go once it's here.
You guys with your tolls and needing to make an appointment at the dmv.

yeah not sure I’d be to happy if I had to go to dmv. Dealer takes care of all that in NY. Tolls is a part of life if you work or live in NYC. My union is in NYC so my jobs are always down there. Tolls add up quick when you go through them to and from the job sites

Ehem, sir we don't have the DMV here, we have the 'town office' and next to the town office is our volunteer fire department and 'peace keeper' who gives out concealed carry permits for $5.
Live free or die!
(but seriously, I wish we had a real fire department that was staffed. the response time is about 45 minutes)

Haha NY state is full of fun little things. No tolls around my area luckily, and our dmv's just opened back up this past week to not needing an appointment. That being said, the line was out the door and going down the street when I drove past yesterday. So appointment it is, hopefully that can save me some frustration. It's the dmv though, sooooooo
