Running license plate thread

[I Should Coco]

And if memory serves, three plates (New York, Pennsylvania, Texas) came to me as part of SJ.com’s Secret Santa gift exchange. Thanks for setting that up for several years, “Secret Santa”!

Here is my stab at license plate glory. Based on available images, ****ty Photoshop and ****ty resolution.

(EDIT: I dub this version "Darkansas.")

Who decided that Tennessee's state shape is a parallelogram? The shape they keep putting on the plates is not even close to the real shape.

The problem with New York’s yellow plates are that if you drive in Ohio you look like you have court-ordered DUI plates.

The Pacific coast states, Alaska and Hawaii. I think the Alaska plates, with the Big Dipper flag, is one of my favorites.

Your Tennessee plate is from about 20 years ago and from the Maryville area outside of Knoxville.

Looks great. I love how you have them placed by geographic location.

Thanks … the door threw a bit of a wrinkle into the West Coast, and New England required a bit of geographic adjustment.

Rand McNally makes it look so easy!

I like how you Idaho'd Idaho.

I think it would have been funny if you put one of your Michigan plates on the ceiling for the upper peninsula

Mr. Dwight Ulysses Ingram is very proud of both his name and his Southern heritage.

In Wisconsin we've had a problem with the paint peeling off of license plates to the point where they are illegible. Part of the issue is that the state has put off replacing plates -- my wife just got a new plate that replaced one issued in 1997 -- but newer plates are actually worse. I've seen plates that were 90% shorn of paint. Moreover, if police pull you over, they will cite you for having an illegible license plate.
I joke that the problem is low worker morale at the license plate factory. A friend took a sharpie to her license plate to darken the numbers so she didn't have to shell out $8 for a replacement set.

Indiana plates are similarly lousy with the screen-printing or however they do them. Whatever happened to hammered-out plates made in prisons?

Costs money. En****ification is everywhere.

Don't cost nothing if prison labor is used. They might get 15 cents an hour for a pack of smokes in the commissary every couple of weeks.

Privatization of government to own the libs is slitting cons' throats and I'm here for it.

I was pulling into a parking space today and someone else was pulling out, so I sadly could not get my phone out in time to take a picture of it. But a guy in a big SUV, who I assume has a business selling fancy wheels and tires, had a personalized license plate that said "RIMJOBS"

Did he go in through the back door? Asking for a friend boots.
