Just a quick update: Got my CA PTI plate. And this weekend in Carmel I found a YOM plate...Aug 79 stickers, blue and gold, trailer configuration (2 letters/4 numbers)...just have to wait for the laws to change and I'll have that plate in use on my Grasshopper...
Problem is they are only doing YOM to 1969. Who knows when they will get around to including '79!!
But I'm ready
