There's not enough yellow. Way too boring.

sweet - i've always wanted a 25mb image of the plate

I've had to drive through Indiana. It's a fitting form of revenge.

So they went with the state bird flip?

California license plates cry.

What a stupid plate.

It looks like something the postal service vehicles would sport.

Behold the power of Fark!

That's the plate I voted for.

I don't see how this is my fault...

You'll get over it!

^ Equally as boring

Anyone have a link to the original thread?

What is that thing? A magic wand?

I like how the navy blue meshes with the white...

methinks Indianans are used to boring by now.

Yeah Indiana, I think I will do that NOW! Are people really that bored in Indiana?

Nothing is more boring than Maryland plates. I like the blue.

Worst...license plate...ever

If it's from Indiana, then it needs more cow bell.

It still beats the Atomic Sunrise plate, which looked especially bad on my Dark Blue car.

I'm disappointed the John Cougar Mellencamp plate didn't win.

I didn't know we had a State called Indiana?

thanks! this new plate will really "retart our engines"!

The correct term is Hoosiers... or something like that. Yes this state is the black hole of fun.

/ worst license plate since I started driving.
// not the one I voted for.

I beg to differ



at least Indiana has the torch, Michigan is just blue.

//just like the Wolverines and Spartans
///oh, snap

Here's the kind I have.

IrishJMA:

Damn you. Beaten to the punch.

temet.noscere

I think the fact they look like a handicapped plate is due to many drivers in the state who drive like they are handicapped.

/Zing!

They've had worse. Anybody remember the "WANDER" plate?

No thanks. I will stay with the In God We Trust one. I hope it's not removed before September when I get my tags. The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against it. GOD HELP THEM!!!

Am I the only one who likes boring plates? I think few things can ruin a nice looking car like some complex, multi-colored fashion-statement of a plate (I'm looking at you Arizona).

Who cares what the wogs do! What are they going to do? Put plates on their rickshaws and farking sacred cows?

Take note of the bottom middle. They were used up to 1997. Plain black and white, that's boring. and the only wording... Friendly Manitoba.

At least it's better than the current provincal slogan of, "Spirited Energy" wtf that means.

Wow. I feel sorry for whoever has to put that on their car.

Pucca: Nothing is more boring than Maryland plates. I like the blue.


Maryland plates are borning, but at least they will never clash with the color of your car. I can't get over how stupid a red car with a giant blue rectangle strapped to it looks.

I like this plate. It sure beats Florida...err...I mean MyFlorida.com.

Unless Florida changed it's name it appears to be an extremely gay state.

thanks assholes.

I like it. I hate when states try to make fancy license plates and end up with a cheesy graphic that looks like it belongs on some corporate website.

Plus, I thought all the farkers voted for the phallic one

/Indiana Farker

I don't see why people need flowery designer plates. Although, at least here in MA, when you buy those types of plates a portion of the cost is going to a charity so there is some goodness involved.

I've still got my single ugly green numbers on white MA plate. When I recently went to transfer my plate to my new car the dealer said that I had to get the new Red plates which means one in front and one in back. Sorry, I'm grandfathered.

Son of a biatch. License plates are the only source of excitement in my life. Thanks a whole god damn lot, Indiana!

I grew up w/ that plate Rapmaster2000.

I like it.

Will the new plates still be plastic, and without embossed characters? Those have been mistaken for fakes all over the country.

That seems to be common sentiment among Hoosiers. I liked it. I think it's the best one you've guys had in a long time.

/Then again, I'm from the Illinois side of Illiana.

/from Texas

A product of the Texas education system doesn't know geography or capitalization rules? That's shocking!

Don't look at me, I voted for the one that looked most like a phallus.

vernonFL

I've been to Bloomington which was okay.

You also went to Indiana's most liberal place. I went to the 4th of July parade a few times and was amazed at the scene. There would be the VFW followed by the S&M float followed by the Boy Scouts followed by the crossdressers. And the crowd would just cheer and wave tiny flags. It was surreal to see people so "hometown usa" but so tolerant at the same time.

And the Dalai Lama's brother has a restaurant there.

It's fitting for Indiana.

I wonder how much time and money was spent on that one?

cp

I rather like the design. The state's in the middle of a big ACLU flap at the moment as our Rethug masters keep trying to slide an 'In God We Trust' plate under the radar. This new design, with the seal over on the side, gives me plenty of room to overlay the seal with a Darwin fish as a protest.

So I'm all for it.

"To download a high-resolution version of the new license plate design, please click"

No, sir. I won't be doing that.

Not to bad looking, considering they used MS Paint to design it.

NC just got horrible ones this year too.

sweet - i've always wanted a 25mb image of the plate

Bwerk, exactly what I was thinking.

Not as bad as the "baby poop brown gradient" Ohio did a while ago:


Which was replaced by the less ugly "sillhouetted sunset":


And if you drive drunk, you get these handsome "party plates":


Now they want to give these to sex offenders:

WorldCitizen

We're not that red. 2004 presidential election was 60% 40% for Bush.

I didn't have much of a problem with the IGWT plates until I heard they were no extra charge, unlike the environmental and educational plates.

We will never forget.

Don't forget North Carolina's new cornea searing RED LETTERING across the plate. Oh man.

The good old "White letters on blue" are now being replaced with the first image here.

idrow: It doesn't matter. As red as Indiana is, most of the population will have the new, alternative "In God We Trust" plates on their cars anyway. I'm surprised they just didn't make that the official state plate.

no shiat! Those stinking 'I'm holier than thou' plates should just go ahead and say... "In God We Trust and in GOP we vote"
Hoosier Morans!

//yes I'm from/in Indiana... don't know where the fark all these other assclowns were educated... it's like they graduated from advanced sunday school and that's the extent of their world education.

nothing's worse than North Carolina and Ohio's flight p1ssing contest:

North Carolina First in Flight
Ohio Birthplace of Aviation

I suppose Wisconsin should put Land of 14,000 lakes on their plate just to p1ss off Minnesota

Then California could join the melee with California: America's Fairyland

zing!

Complain all you want. I'll be making those things when I turn myself in on Tuesday.

Michigan's new plate design blows.
I was proud to have kept "Old Blue" around since 1984 or whenever... it was a classic stamped-metal plate, the way plates used to be. Not this weak ass silk-screened cartoon crap.

stovey - Is that really Kentucky's plate? It makes me feel happy and less road-ragey. All plates should have smily faces on them

Best plate ever (even though it is a special plate)

Missouri's are pretty bad. Ugly blue-and-white gradient manages to look bad on any car you put it on. It's a lot better than our old ones, though, which were dark reddish-brown and completely devoid of anything whatsoever.

/Ours still look better than Illinois's

Best license plates ever.

Sofa King Smart - idrow: It doesn't matter. As red as Indiana is, most of the population will have the new, alternative "In God We Trust" plates on their cars anyway. I'm surprised they just didn't make that the official state plate.

Wait, what? I wrote what now?

rdr

You're going to spend an extra $25 (probably and extra $40 by the time Anarchists, Communists and Liberals United gets done)just so you can put a sticker on to protest? Why not just go with the default plate if you don't like the one with the national motto on it?

It doesn't matter. As red as Indiana is, most of the population will have the new, alternative "In God We Trust" plates on their cars anyway. I'm surprised they just didn't make that the official state plate.

That's being challenged. Don't think it'll be around for much longer.

At least it doesn't have a web address on it.
Hopefully that stupid license plate trend will die out soon.

I never miss an opportunity to post my license plate

There's a simple elegance to them. I loved Missouri's white on red plates.

There are people in New York that are still upset that the state stopped issuing these plates in the 1980s.

haha...you don't live in FLORIDA, you live in MYFLORIDA.COM

the old brick red AZ one looked like crap on my bright metallic blue car

the new ones are a lot better

Yeah, the new plate is ghey. But who really cares. I can spice up/annoy the shiat out of fellow drivers with my Hello Kitty and Pink Floyd stickered car anyway. The free Indiana In God We Trust plates bugged me at first, but then i realized it was a good way to tell which drivers to avoid because every one i've seen is a dumbass that won't use signals/tailgaters.

Cyburbia - I grew up in NY and remember when they switched from that one. Thought the new ones were so cool. Now, I'm like 'meh'. They need to change the design again.

i voted for that one, too.

/not boring.
//can i show you my collection of acetylacetonates?

Being from Indiana, thank you all. Now everyone's plate look like the government plates and police plates. This makes things a lot more difficult. I am going to write a letter to the Governor!

And it's a Kentucky blue at that!! Suck it Hoosiers.

Posted this in another thread, but it's probably more appropriate here:



/lawl

I came here for pics of license plates, funny on their own or because of commentary. Fark, you did not disappoint.

I live in Indiana, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies

I think it is all just a ruse to get us to either shell out the xtra $$$ for the special plates or to use the INGWT alternative plate...

For what its worth, I'd rather have the stupid Garfield plate on my car than either the ugly new one or the (soon to be) illegal religious one.

//Don't have to worry about it until Mar 2008.

/too lazy for clicky.

The ACLU is just challenging the In God We Trust license plate on the basis that it's free, while other specialty plates cost a fee.

It won't go away; if the lawsuit gets anywhere, you'll just have to pay a fee like any other specialty plate.

Which would be mighty convenient considering how ugly the new blue plates are going to be. Hmmm. Conspiracy?

our 9/11 Memorial plate is weird, an American flag floating in the clouds-esp considering those planes never got here(@ least it provides scholarships 4 the children of Californian victims)-not as bad ass as Virginia's "FIGHT TERRORISM" who would dare pull you ovver?

OMG... Nebraska totally ripped that plate off a few years ago. The colors were a bit different, but the theme was exactly the same. And for 3 years, we had to put up with having people ask us if we were from Arizona every time we went out of the state, since the color scheme was identical to theirs at first glance.

Both Nunavut and NWT use the polar bear plates, which makes sense since the former was split off of the latter a few years ago. Rather appropriate that the motorcycle/snowmobile plate is a baby bear, I think.

The only plate available on Alabama without "heart of dixie" written somewhere on it in little letters is the "Protect our Environment" one.

I'm not sure if it's been said yet, but I, for one, think plain plates look better and more official than those damn rainbow things. Way to go Indiana.

This is the smartest thing South Carolina has ever done...



I'm personally SO SICK of those "In God We Trust" license plates slapped on a minivan (along with a bunch of NASCAR stickers) being driven by some fatass housewife reaching in the backseat to hit her foul brood with a flyswatter. It really happens. A lot.

Also, on the Secular Humanist's website, they offer a .jpg image of their membership card so that ANYONE with half a brain, not just SHL members, can get the "In Reason We Trust" license plate.

Step right up you're doin' fine, I'll pull your beard you pull mine; yank it again like you did before, break it up with a tug of war. Now into the creek and fish for the trout, dive right in and splash about; trout trout pretty little trout, one more splash and come right out. Shake like a hound dog shake again, wallow around in the old pig pen; wallow some more you all know how, roll around like an old fat sow. Allemande left with your left hand, follow through with a right and left grand; now lead your partner the dirty old thing, follow through with an elbow swing. Grab a fencepost hold it tight, whomp your partner with all your might; hit him in the shin hit him in the head, hit him again the critter ain't dead. Whop him low and whop him high, stick your finger in his eye; purty little rhythm purty little sound, bang your heads against the ground. Promenade all around the room, promenade like a bride and groom; open up the door and step right in, close the door and into a spin. Whirl whirl twist and twirl, jump all around like a flying squirrel; now don't you cuss and don't you swear, just come right out and form a square. Now right hand over and left hand under, both join hands and run like thunder; over the hill and over the dale, duck your head and lift your tail. Don't you stray and don't you roam, turn around and promenade home; corn in the crib and wheat in the sack, turn your partner promenade back.

Whew...

Why so upset about license plates? They're just license plates after all!

Who cares what someone else's license plate says, or for that matter, what you're license plate says? Who regularly stops to look at license plates unless you're a cop?

The only reason the IGWT plates are selling is because they are $15.00 cheaper than the regulare ones.
