How on earth am I supposed to fit this on my windshield?

My county's gone nuts with the new decal. Yikes! 4" by 4" !!! Good thing I don't have a Jeep Wrangler...it'd cover the whole passenger side of the glass!

Registration sticker that each municipality has...basically they issue it after the car tax is paid and you put it next to your inspection sticker. Each city/county has their own design...ours used to be an unobtrusive 2" diameter circle.

Personalized plates
They've decided to prevent fraud to print the license plate # on the sticker.

makes sense, for I was guilty of that too when we were required to have them...

I think those things are a waste of time and money... if they want to collect tax they could alway do so whether you have stickers or not.

Fairfax got rid of them for savings issue and going Green

you guys should follow suit,

burn it to show Protest

It's in the glove box...I refuse to install it...and it's supposed to last for five years, but I'm with you--no decal! The county says we have to have them to allow access for county residents at the dump...don't usually hang out there though.

LOL - And I thought Suffolk's was the worst I'd seen...

Imagine that same size, but with a big Mr. Peanut on it.

Solved:



Vehicle License Decal

The Board of Supervisors on February 13, 2007, passed an Emergency Ordinance eliminating the requirement for citizens to obtain and display a vehicle license decal. We suggest you remove your new decal if you have already placed it on your windshield. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please call the Finance Department Revenue Division at (804) 501-4263.

Speaking of...I still have my Alexandria decal on eventhough I've moved to the Falls Church side of 395. I guess I can get rid of that.

Al, where do you go for safety inspections? Think the car's due April, was wondering how having (illegal) tints is going to play with all that.

I'll swing by there. I still haven't gotten round to lowering my Honda at Sammy's. You're sure he's cool with the tints?

Donny, I got my inspection with 35's all around and euro xenons. They didnt even blink about either of them.


I really dont think they are going to care about that...
