Scooter.
We have had some discussions on this. While some of us were getting our numbers in the 350-360 range, we were aware of others having received numbers in the 400's. That made it obvious, California was not necessarily assigning these numbers sequencially. I believe some of the 400 and up numbers were being issued to correct previous years registration flaws.
Was your car one of them?

What it means is, if today the DMV says they have issued number 400, it doesn't mean there are 100 more to go.There maybe a lot less.

Red,
OK.That makes a whole lot of sense. Talking about carryovers.....Just wait until next year. Everyone buying, building a Special Construction vehicle in 2004 from March to December will be needing one those elusive numbers, come next January.
