In this segment, the host uses the Altima as an example of a car that’s old enough to qualify, but doesn’t feel like the kind of vehicle people usually associate with collectible or historic registration.","simplifiedExplanation":"The Nissan Altima is a very common everyday car. The host is basically saying it feels weird to put a special “historic” plate on a car like that, even if it technically qualifies.","imageAttribution":"Benespit (CC BY-SA 4.0)"}},{"startTime":511.2,"endTime":532.7,"type":"concept","title":"historic plate","url":"/glossary/historic-plate","quote":"Car people know what I'm talking about.
