For only 2 more years. Its about time. 37 states have figured out safety inspections are worthless when it comes to highway safety.
Too many restrictions for Antique plates in Texas. You're limited to using the car only for "parades, exhibitions and other public events." I just took my '60 Austin Healey in for its annual inspection last week. I do have a 1960 period correct plate on it, that I bought off ebay and re-painted.
