We eloped using the bucks county Quaker self uniting marriage. Was a zoom call with the clerk and and they sent us the paper work. Signed it with our parents as witnesses in our kitchen. Total cost of $60. Ended up cancelling our wedding we started to plan and saved $15k but still did a nice honeymoon in Turks and Caicos.

I lived in Philly and then in bucks county for a few years. You COULD take the bus to get around, but trying to accomplish anything in a reasonable amount of time with ease would be impossible. The city is one thing, but not the burbs.

Yeah I’m not doing that, but you make it seem like there are these life and death restrictions lol. It’s going to get driven not that much, I have a modern daily driver. This truck is literally going to be my fun collectible project truck. Maybe I’ll go to Lowe’s with it to pickup stuff, guess I’ll get it impounded.

I think you are confused on what the term “antique” is classified. The super old vehicles pre 1976 are a different class, antique in this case is 25 years old or more. Vintage plate class is the class that you are describing. The truck I’m buying is a 1994, just can’t use it as a primary driver and essentially is legally limited to once per week of driving by how the law is written, but it’s a grey area hot mess. With my insurance I can just put it down as a “pleasure vehicle”, which is lower than 5k miles per year.

That is specified nowhere on the FAQ on penndot’s website. Can always revert it back, it’s a project truck but 95% road worthy

Quoted from the site:

“No person may operate a vehicle with antique or classic registration plates for commercial purposes or for general daily transportation. Permitted use is limited to participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades and similar uses, and for occasional transportation.”

It would entirely come down to opportunity cost. Would you actually be able to secure a high paying job which isn’t completely negated by the HCOL. Find the job first then run the numbers. Me personally after paying on my private loans for the last 3 years, I’d rather not have that payment, that’s just me though.
