    Yes, MD protocol is def check the thicknesses/depth. Easy to do when the car is elevated on a drive on ramp - I have HRE wheels so perhaps more "access" than OE.

    After all this hassle, you'll still want to go to the MVA on 1/1/23 to convert registration to historic to avoid the emissions testing. Or, get an address in one of the many MD counties that don't require emissions.

    No question about switching to Historic tags in January- just trying to get the car legally on the road until then.

    Happy Ending: I arranged with Brian at Potomac BP to bring the car in today at 10:00 am for inspection. He promised me that Andy or Terry would take care of things, and that I was welcome to hang around for the one hour or less it would take, especially since I live 1.5 hours away.
    True to his word, they took me promptly and I was out of there in a half hour. Andy was great- clearly quite familiar with- and appreciative of- Ferraris, and a pleasure to deal with. All in all, a painless process THANKS, all!

    Me too, thanks!
    Just picked up my permanent tag- permanent, at least, until I switch to Historic tags in January.

    I just got a new-to-me Lusso and went to the Potomac BP because of this thread. THANK YOU! Quick, painless inspection when great people. Great experience and highly recommend!
