    I scrape off the old one with a razor and clean it with alcohol before putting on the new one

    We used to do this in Sweden! That was years ago though. You can sometimes still see older cars with them left on. Some of them are thicc.

      Mine is one of them, but I’ve almost always had not so great cars that I’m not prepared to bet on making it another 2 years. Also never owned a vehicle for any longer than a couple years so never new there was a limit. The joke is ruined

        Not really. Still a good joke.

        Yeah, the plates are spec’s to rust to bits in 15 years (approximately because they are cheaply made by slave labor) and states require them to replaced every 10 years (or less in states that have heavy saltiness)
