all I can do is laugh
We got our vehicle registration stickers in the mail, so Mr. Shamwow thought he'd be really awesome and go put them on our cars today. I saw him about to walk out the door with a screwdriver in his hand and asked him politely to please not scratch the hell out of my windshield with that tool, and then found the box cutter razor blade thingy out of the tool box for him to use instead (even though I don't remember really needing one last year when I replaced it, but whatev).
He was outside for an abnormally long time, and even came back in saying something about how he was never going to get all that sticker off the windshield yada yada (I was cleaning, so not really listening intently).
When he eventually came in for good he said "well....I have good news and I have bad news". He had accidentally removed the inspection sticker instead of the old registration sticker. He did this on not one, but BOTH cars.
After I recovered from the initial shock and confusion, I nearly peed my pants laughing. I asked him how the eff he managed that, and especially how he managed to make the same "oops" on both vehicles before realizing his mistake. His response was "I'M NOT A CAR GUY, I'M SORRY!"

He IS kind of cute too.
He hadn't yet attempted to put the new registration stickers on, so at least those weren't fouled up. Also, his inspection was up at the end of this month and mine would have been up in January.
I kinda wish I had taken a picture of the sticky smeary mess that was left on my windshield after his ordeal. But he promptly took it to get an inspection and the guy cleaned it all up and put the new stickers (both of them) on for us.
Yeah. Do you just put yours on your polar bear?
Ofcourse!
We put ours on our plate.
Mr. Shamwow makes me laugh.
I think Texas is the only state where I've noticed them on the windshield and not on the license plate. Weirdos. Why don't you just secede already?
I think NJ had them on the windshield? I forget. Maybe CT did? All I know is MA has them on the license plate. The last digit of your license plate also denotes what month your reg expires. They don't issue new registration in Nov or Dec so 1 and 2 mean Jan and Feb.

I love Mr. Shamwow.
NY goes on the windshield, too!

That's how they do it here too. And in Washington. Weirdo east coast states with your silly inspection stickers. And weirdo Texas, of course.

They changed Washington to a flat rate sometime before I moved (thanks to crazy ballot initiative *** Tim Eyeman)...somewhere in the $30 range? But counties and cities could tack fees on to that as well. I know I paid more living in Seattle than my mom did living in unincorporated King County, despite the flat rate
That's how AZ does it, too. It cost like $300 to register my car for ONE YEAR in AZ because it was only 2 years old. And yet you don't have to renew your license until your 65th birthday...AZ is stupid.
