Aw come on, it still isn't as bad as the cooked lobster on Maine plates a few years back. (Back when I lived there)

IBMiniG · Jan 8th, 2003, 08:12 PM

your tax dollars hard at work!

seemunkee · Jan 8th, 2003, 08:34 PM

some one was paid to design that and several people had to like it. What were they thinking??????

wingedsheep · Jan 8th, 2003, 08:44 PM

this is the best plate I've seen around here:

nice black plate -- goes with most any car -- oo that'd look nice on a double black MINI.

Boo · Jan 8th, 2003, 08:45 PM

you think that it expensive, my custom plate costs me $330 per year ......
and yes, i advise moving

They give us a choice...the regular issue tag is off-white with the Maryland flag crest in the center of the 6 digit plate...but one of the special issue tags is:

LordWinslow · Jan 8th, 2003, 10:27 PM

I like our plates for New Hampshire, they got enough blue and green in them so the work for Blue and Green colored cars. Also we have the very stand-offish, "Live Free or Die", motto on ours too.

I like our plates.

LordWinslow · Jan 8th, 2003, 10:29 PM

my state plate

Pebble · Jan 8th, 2003, 10:32 PM

ACK!!!

XSmall · Jan 9th, 2003, 12:54 AM

NOOOO!!!!! That is so freaking hideous!!!! How can they do that without some kind of permission!!!

That is embarassing and disgusting. What a joke! I am so mad - had no idea. Good thing I saw it on here first, or I would have had a hissy fit at the county clerk when I pick up that monstrosity.
Who did this, somebody's kindergarten class?

BruceK · Jan 9th, 2003, 01:23 AM

Is that just a clever move by the state of Kentucky to get every single owner of a motor vehicle in the entire state to lay out the extra money to get a personalized plate that doesn't have a $#&%@ smiley sunny face on it?

So, when is the 'enraged citizens take governor's mansion by force' scheduled?

Smokey 4 · Jan 9th, 2003, 01:36 AM

We've got about 100 catagories of personalized tags. Something for everyone, but no Sunshine Smiley Face thank heavens.

eltel · Jan 9th, 2003, 01:46 AM

That Kentucky one is 'finger licking good', isn't it.

So. This impression that the rest of the world has about America and bad taste... It's obviously a government conspiracy.

Yeah, but can you get a 'horny toad' personalized license plate like in Texas?

The strangest animal tags we have deal with Sports teams

Pickens A&M or Clem-Tech as it's known around here

or the local NFL team

Which didn't fare much better this year or last or the one before that either:
