[The Champ]

Sorry for the bad link. I cut and pasted from a post on another board - and apparently it didn't process right.

In case you missed that Ben linked the article in his post, this is right from the article:

TN is ranked 45th and the main reasons are the safety inspection (which I'm not worried about) and the limited use (which I am worried about).

Ben and Mike - thanks for your input.

We are considering the outlying areas near Nashville - we've actually looked at homes in the Mt Juliet area and Spring Hill back in March. Decided Spring Hill is further out than we want to be. Mount Juliet or similar range would be acceptable. By my standards, I would think I could drive my cars every month - just not every day of every month....

In MN, my collector car registration is a one time fee, but doesn't have the limitations that TN does. If tags for my old cars are under $100.00 per year or less, I'd go with regular plates so I'd be free to drive on week days for pleasure use. From the sounds of it, I'll save enough on my newer cars plates (I've paid as much as $500 per year on a new car) to pay for my old car plates.

Gas prices seemed pretty close between my area of MN and the Nashville area, so that's no big deal.

We might be taking another trip over Labor Day to do some more investigating of properties and what summer weather is like in the Nashville area. I've only been in TN one other time (for the Bristol night race in August of 2000).
