The official verbiage is that you may not use it for "routine" transportation.

The intent is that you cannot use it as a daily driver; beyond that there is some interpretation involved. From the Law's perspective it seems to be only to and from shows, parades or to get it repaired.

Me: I drive it to the hardware store, or to work whenever I feel like it (because I know it's not my daily driver).

Lastly - during Woodward Cruise month (lol - the month of August) all restrictions are removed and you can drive as much as you want.

The rule change I was referring to was disallowing "special" YOM plates: no Manufacturer's plates and no Dealer plates are allowed. I think I snuck the "M" plate through because the word was not spelled out, but they caught me on the dealer plate because it was explicitly stated.
