California Exhausts 46-Year License Plate Sequence, Switching to Mirrored Format

California has officially exhausted its standard license plate sequence, which began in 1980, and is transitioning to a new format. The previous system, consisting of one number, three letters, and three numbers, reached its final combination, 9ZZZ999, earlier this year. The state is now introducing a 'mirrored' configuration of three numbers, three letters, and one number. While new plates are being produced, over 110,000 old-format plates remain in storage for issuance. The change is expected to last 40 years, with manufacturing continuing at Folsom State Prison.

Hilton pledges to abolish the DMV and cap car fees at $73 if elected governor

Republican Steve Hilton proposes eliminating the California DMV and capping annual vehicle registration at $73, arguing it would cut the cost of living. The plan would require Democratic supermajorities in the Legislature and would slash DMV revenue from about $11–$12 billion to roughly $2.7 billion; Hilton says he would offset the gap with 10% staffing cuts and 5% agency-budget reductions, and could use budget leverage or an executive order if lawmakers balk. Democrats led by Xavier Becerra oppose the move, while Hilton seeks to persuade lawmakers to back the proposal.

Hiring a Car Negotiator: Help or Hassle in a Real-World Deal

A New Hampshire buyer hired a professional negotiator to land a better car deal, but the plan dragged on for two months due to the middleman insisting on handling registration and a clash with the dealership, which says deals can be done over the phone and that it routinely handles registration. The story highlights that negotiating services exist and can help some buyers, but they don’t guarantee a smoother process, and in many cases the dealership manages paperwork, financing, and taxes more directly.
