sweet jesus that sh!t is fugly...

so what happens to all those people with customized license plates?

livnlegacy · 02-14-2008, 05:02 PM

I'm fairly certain that all existing plates will remain. however, I think there is a limit on number of times a plate registration can be renewed before "they" re-assign a new plate. I think "customized" plates are yours forever, unless you want to retire it.

JacobT · 02-14-2008, 08:44 PM

Yep, I saw the new plate on the paper. That's really fugly. I'm glad I can use my current plate for another 6 years before I have to switch

Couch · 02-15-2008, 09:23 AM

I guess the only other way to get a semi-plain plate is to get one with our alumnus or favorite college on it.

Oh well, I'm glad I don't have to change for a while.

I wonder if vanity/personalized plates will be printed on the mural as well, or if they will have a plain background.

on the plus side, it looks like 7 digits are coming which will open up a ton of options for vanity plates...

maybe I should get "NOFRNTPL8"... oh... wait... that's 8 characters. Dammit.

I hear you...I certainly wouldn't mind driving to the Dallas area to participate in activities. Do you (or anyone else) go on NCC Tours? BTW, I'll be looking out for the town princess!!

Basically a bitch, not my official title, but how the man makes me feel.

Looking to leave very very soon. I've reached the end of the rope in being underpaid, unappreciated, and "unpromoted" after 2.5 years. Looking forward to slamming that two week notice on the desk with a HUGE smile on my face.

Now I'll get back to my brain-numbing, IQ depleting work.

I meant I clean the interior plastic door sills with it, not the interior trim. No matter how careful I am getting in/out, I always manage to get "black" marks in those areas.
