In many states, registering you car with collector plates can qualify 
you for a lot of benifits. Here in Minnesota, when we still had 
emmission testing (thank you Jesse Ventura), collector vehicles were 
immune to it. Also in MN, there is no sales tax involved when 
purchasing a collector vehicle (I wish I knew that one 5 months 
ago!). And another good benifit, here in MN, cars with collector 
plates are not required to have a front plate! However, there are 
some drawbacks. I believe there used to be a law here in MN that 
only allowed you to drive your car on weekends. That is no longer 
the case here if it was, but you MUST have another "primary" vehicle 
registered with regular plates if you are to get collector ones. I'm 
sure each state has it's own rules which apply to the cars, and the 
DeLorean may not even yet be registerable for some. Try searching 
for your state's Department of Public Saftey's website, they had all 
of the required info for my state.
