Well, 25 years old encompasses even 1993 vehicles now... which have CD players just barely

Or even if it's a casette/radio just improvise with one of those Belkin Bluetooth things that broadcasts to a radio station!

The driving to work thing is very concrete, not even once a year let alone once a month... however, another requirement of collector's plates is that you have to have a primary vehicle insured, so one would assume that is your driving to work car. Sucks that you can't ever show your ride off to anyone though.

That said, this is only if you want the highly discounted insurance these plates bring... you can get collector's plates and opt to pay full regular insurance without a primary vehicle insured, but then you'd be essentially completing the process just to have special license plates on your car.

I actually don't even drive to work anymore, I walk and take the train, so my plan next year when my MR2 Turbo is eligible is to get collector's plates for it and insure my 250cc motorcycle as my primary for the year, which costs less than $500 anyway... then I'll be paying less for my MR2 Turbo, 68 Mustang and motorcycle all together than I do for 1 single vehicle right now.
