CA black plates....just picked up a car....

Sound like the plates the car was originally born/issued with.

Born with the car = stays with the car.

Are you saying that in Calif. the plates stay with the car when it's sold?? That's weird.
Must be a PITA when you get a new car finding it in a parking lot...unfamiliar car, unfamiliar plate.
Why do they do it this way?
