I'm sure you still can get that stuff, but the website says an "online" donation will not get you a lifetime membership

I meant the description of the foundation.

Oh, yeah, that's still the same. Without advertising the plate frame and whatnot, I wonder how many "donations" they still get

The plate frame and whatnot was an $1,800 donation, whatever the "gold member" thing is, is $25,000 in one year.

Exempt from what?
Paying registration fees?

After seeing this CHP car this morning, I've come to the conclusion that "CA EXEMPT" means exempt from the law:

You are correct in this assumption sir.
