Actually, as of the close of business today, the DMV site says that all 500 numbers for 2003 have been assigned. This could get interesting for future registrants in that now I'm sure there will be a rush the first week of January next year to get 2004 numbers by everyone who'll have been waiting between now and 12/31/2003. Does this mean that cars legitimately registered in California under SB100 and/or SB1578 will go up in value?
