There is no definition, they just figure that any car over 30 years old
probably isn't driven much.  It's just not intended for regular
transportation.   Here we have toll roads and bridges, and If I bought an
electronic pass and used it every day with collector plates that would
probably be the end of that.  Oregon is much more restrictive, but I think
your license fees are lower than WA.

Hi ..
thanks for making that clear, but if a person can't run to the store in
their fine van...

You can get collector care insurance for an '84 vanagon'  ?
but not an 84 Westphalia Vanagon ?

doesn't sound right.
Wonder what your DMV's defenition of 'excursion' is.

insurance for campers.

in three years I can get a free collector vehicle plate (or nearly
free, one time $45 fee)!!

Check to see if miles per year are limited with a Collector Car
plate.      Usually they are I believe.
