Heads up for registration renewals.... Maine BMV is requiring a new Antique Auto affidavit be completed for re-registrations this year. The revision date on the new form is 10/2013. Substantial changes include text which was formerly buried elsewhere in the statutes that restricts the vehicle use to exhibitions, club activities, parades or events of public interest. They also require that you now specifically identify your Primary Vehicle by plate number. They shut off antique registrations online forcing you to bring the new affidavit to your town office or a BMV service center to redo paperwork. This is only mildly irritating as they were very mum about the new requirement and as of yesterday, still had the old affidavit linked from the BMV website in the Antique Auto section.
I don't know about the rest of you, but every time mine goes on the road it is an event of public interest for one reason or another, and during tourist season somebody always wants their picture taken with it (an exhibition?).
Does showing the world we can keep these "mature" trucks running well classify as a club activity?
Driving down the road, I usually lead a "Parade" of cars wishing they could go faster than 45.
Not my DD anyway, but when it goes out, no worries.....not a problem after all!
