personalized license plate

so went to the DMV today to get my plate replaced since my old one from my old car was "defaced" and I'd have gotten pulled over. so I went and got a new plate and then got a new one for my old car and am giving my old car to my mom. she said she wants to try and have it fixed up if so she'll keep it, if not we'll have to sell it. sad cuz its been with me since '09 and is my first car. I also got my personalized license plate finally. after wanting a specific personalized plate for over a decade I finally got it and it hasn't been taken! so good thing I didn't purchase it thru a 3rd party cuz I would have been paying 160. but at the dmv I paid 149 for all of it. soo apparently it takes a long ass time to get the plate after you've ordered it like up to 90 days. sucks so bad I want it 😫  my new car is gonna be so kawaii. it already is starting to feel like me. I love my car and finally am able to customize again.
