The plates on my car expire on Friday. When I got the notice 2 months ago, I made a mental note to get right on the inspection and get it over with. Everytime I paid a bill or walked into my office, I told myself to make the appointment at the dealer near work. I put the coupons for that dealer in my purse weeks ago. I laid the coupons next to my phone at work for days. So when did I get my car inspected? I didn't. But it will be inspected on Friday. And the plates expire on Friday. And I am working all day on Friday. Hmmm, me thinks me might have a small problem....
Somehow I will try to get the car back from the shop, run over to the DMV, stand in line for hours and still make the deadline. If not, I guess I will be paying a late fee and running around on Saturday morning. Wish me luck!!
Update: I just figured out why I was putting this off for so long. Our great state decided to change the design of the plates. I absolutely despise the new design and think it is hideous. So deep down, psychologically, I am rebelling against some one's horrible idea of a great graphic design.

I agree these new plates are not very appealing. In fact, they look like the kind of prints that appear on old ladies t-shirts with the cardinal birds on them.
Good luck.
You know I procrastinated on renewing my plates for a loong time! And Mr MM is now in the same boat. I get the pleasure of standing in line for him tomorrow
At least you guys GET plates! We only get them about once a decade or so. $78 each year for a sticker!
And while I didn't put off getting plates, I DID put off renewing my license until a few days beforehand. (It's because I hate the pictures tht invariably end up on them.)
PB - Ohh, they are the design from the old lady shirts! Ugh, no wonder I hate them.
MM - True - Mr. M can attest to that one!
NV - you may pay more for stickers but you don't pay PP taxes on the vehicles you own!
Hey, quit dissing the Old Ladies! What, you don't like bluebirds of happiness?
