There is a bright spot for you Buffalonians though. Your team will be warm and cozy at Ford Field in Detroit. They will also experience the warm glow that is associated with kicking some NFL arze.
I will be at the game ONLY because I scored some free tickets. What an embarassment of a team we have.:o
FIRE MILLEN!

That wasn't very nice EHS, why would I pay collision, and liability, for something I won't drive for six months? That's more money I can pour into the car during the winter. For God sakes, it was snowing here yesterday, and I saw SALT trucks out this morning 
Ah, see, I made you feel bad EHS, you deleted the part about me not being able to afford the car, don't worry, I wasn't really mad anyway....

I had to drive out from Syracuse to Buffalo Thursday evening... Everything was fine until I reached Batavia (about 30 miles from Buffalo) when all of a sudden the roads were covered and the snow was falling so hard I could not see ANYTHING 
.
I put my Blazer in 4WD and tailed a semi for miles... at one point, a lunkhead in a minivan cut off the truck and he almost jack knifed (and I had to nail the binders to keep from tagging him). Next thing the minvan did a 360 and looped into the median. It was a horrible trip!
The hotel lost power at 10:30pm... backup power died at 2am... I finally fired up the Blazer and bailed out of town via back roads at 1 pm...
Unbelievable destruction from trees with leaves bogged down by super heavy, moisture laiden snow (great snowball fight snow).
Anyway, glad to be home and glad I didn't use my C5!!!
Hang in there Buffalo! At least you are leading the http://www.goldensnowball.com contest

I believe the question is: Do you actually surrender the license plate and return it to your DMV?? And then my question would be, if you do that, how much does it cost to reactivate your plate come Spring, or do you get an all together different license plate??
Although my Corvette is insured through a Collectible Auto Policy and is covered year around on an annual policy, with my Insurance Company (Allstate) I may suspend coverage on a vehicle I am not driving. Instead, the vehicle is placed under a generic term like "Storge Protection" which is actually the comp coverage to protect it if the garage falls in or there is a fire. Really inexpensive, like $30 for the 6 month window. Obviously one must have other cars on the policy to have one not driven and covered. But this precludes the Insurance Company from having to report to the DMV that a policy has lapsed.
I would think you'd be much better off under those terms.

I was thinking about getting personal plates, those they will store for up to one year, AFTER the registration runs out, then they are destroyed. The fee is nominal for storage.
I obviously leave comprehensive on the car at all times, regardless, in case it was stolen, or caught fire.
