    Fabulous!

    I was going to wait to fix my bumper until after the HOV stickers expired. Then I would have a pristine bumper when I traded my car in for the new 2009 (when it comes out late 2008).

    Now I'll just get the bumper fixed now and apply for replacement stickers. The fact the stickers will still be good for 2 years after I sell will be a selling point I'm sure. Some may say they're ugly, but I think they'll enhance the value of my car. Someone is going to be happy to have a car that can drive the HOV lane.

    I read and re-read the AB2600 many many times but I don't see any where it says it will extend the expiration date to 1/1/2011. It only says it will permit 10000 more stickers. Did anybody else see something that I did see?

    Yes, it's in the bill's official narrative, as well as in the amended laws. The law also extends HOV access to ILEV vehicles to 2011. See http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=25026
