I've been missing my cat for years; I did notice a not-insignificant increase in torque as well. That said, I have a turbo.

Really? That's a thing? I guess I didn't realize that was a stipulation for historic tags.

Antique tag limitations vary from state to state. Virginia has some pretty stringent requirements (although it's rare to hear of someone getting caught like Lupin was).

George - were you caught in Maryland or Virginia?

I work for one of the local police dept's here in the Richmond area. Lets just say stopping someone for excessive driving with antique/historic tags would be a "low code" offense and not really worth the effort.

The key provision in the VA Code that protects you when driving a vehicle with antique registration and tags is:

•Testing its operation, obtaining repairs or maintenance, selling the vehicle or trailer, transportation to and from events as described in number 1 above and for the occasional pleasure driving not to exceed 250 miles from your residence.

If someone stops you, just say I am checking the operation of ________(fill in the blank) because it's been acting funny lately.
