Those plates cost a bit. I'm not sure a plate and the replacement cost, would be worth the price of a burger!

But we might go check it out!

Florida has several different styles of plates. For my car, I chose the United We Stand plates, which look like this:

It was between that and the Challenger/Columbia plate:

When I was a child, the Challenger incident had a huge impact on me. I was 5 at the time, absolutely loved everything dealing with space. Still do.

Very good!! California had a group of environmentalists that issued a bumper sticker that read Save Our Bay. The opposition modified them to read Pave Our Bay.

I do like the United We Stand, and the shuttle one is also pretty neat. A hard choice!

hehehehehehe

Reminds me up the "nuke the unborn gay baby whales" sticker I saw a few years ago on a lifted F250. not PC, but funny.
(a reply to the "Save the baby whales" sticker that was out, and seemed to be everywhere)

I always wanted a plate that read OU812.

A friend of mine got a vanity tag for her new car that said OGR8ONE. I read it as Ogre Ate One until she bopped me on the head and told me it said Oh Great One. :rolleyes:

I saw online a picture of a white Bronco with a plate that said "NOT OJ".

I want a vanity plate but I'm not sure what I'd want it to say. I'd love to have one of the many special plates Florida has (of which BW showed two) but the last time I got a new tag all I could afford was the regular tag.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

SWMBO insisted we get a Florida Panther plate:

Haven't decided what special working I'd want.

Obviously a reference to an over and under model 812 shotgun? (hehehehehe)

If I saw that, I think I would also see the Ogre ate one, but thats the fun of getting a double meaning plate!
