Unfortunately, I didn’t buy it new, I picked it up in April 2004 in California and received new plates with the title and registration.

I do, however, have the old 6 digit license plate here in AZ, but the colors are starting to look dull. Not sure if that’s what you’re referring to

I drive my wife’s car on occasion. I put about ~10,000 miles on my car per year. It is a 2000 Honda Civic

I have a CA front plate and AZ rear plate on my car. AZ doesn’t require a front plate and I’m too lazy to remove the CA front plate from my car. Been that way for the last 17 years

Happy Diwali to you too!
