UberDave: What is it about Virginia and vanity plates.

It's something to do between dog fights.

UberDave: GoDawgs!

What is it about Virginia and vanity plates. I have a client there that I visit rather often. I've never seen so many vanity plates in one state.

They're pretty cheap here.

I like this one:

Illinois is lousy with them, too. Someone told me they're only like 75 bucks there.

"For me, it's also my right to be patriotic," says Herwerth, a retired police officer from Hauppauge, N.Y., who says he was so shaken by the 9/11 terrorist attacks that he has driven a red, white and blue car ever since.

It's the least you can do. Literally.

I'm moving to NC, where vanity plates can have up to 8 characters, so I'm really getting a kick, blah, blah, blah.

ONLY?? Dude, they're like 35 here in Virginia.

Pocket Ninja: Nothing shows your free-spirited individuality and devil-may care outlook on the world like a government-issued vanity license plate.

Oh you silver tongued devil, you. How can one be so cool as you? We can only aspire to such greatness.

Actually, if you have at least 1 number in there, vanity plates don't cost extra in IL.

"License plates were never designed to be billboards," explains Debra Hillmer, the motor vehicle division's director. She said state rules banning offensive messages on license plates are subjective.

I agree with this. I think vanity plates are pretty stupid. The only ones I actually like are the creative ones that manage to sneak in something really obscene. Otherwise they just make the people who have them seem like self-important assholes.

I Recently saw a Honda Fit with a F-IT plate...

I was truly dumbfounded... lol

FTFA: In Arizona, where most of the license plates are made at a state prison, inmates have alerted officials to letter and number combinations that carry drug or gang connotations

I thought the rule went "snitches get stitches". Really now, if we can't trust prison inmates, who can we trust?

Winnow?

Since I'm horrible at this, does "4n1c8n" mean "fornicating"?

75 dollars is not a lot?

Colorado's personalized plates must be a steal:
Designer: $60 application fee; $50 renewal
Regular: $35 application fee; $25 renewal

Illinois' personalized plates
Designer: $94 application fee; $13 + normal annual registration
Regular: $47 application fee; $7 + normal annual registration

Virginia
Personalized plates cost just $10 a year in addition to the vehicle registration and special plate fees.

\Are we talking about Vanity plates(special designs) or personalized(custom text)?

Dirt cheap, actually--just an extra $10 on your registration fee.

It's not just vanity plates, either--Virginia has probably the biggest assortment of "specialty" plates of any state going. You name the organization/cause, odds are the VA DMV has a plate for it. It's to the point where you can't recognize the plates as being "Virginian", which kind of defeats the point, I thought.

If the DMV had any sense, it would just tax the fark out of people who wanted their bizarre, arcane forumlations of kissmyassyoufarkingchump displayed on their car tags.

$40 for the application, $40 on renewal here in Texas.

For cops that check plates in their rear view mirror.


I approve

Oh what the hell! The profanity filter screens out the F word BACKWARDS? You guys are Nazis.

FFS - In America you have "Freedom of Speech" and other such things (Well supposedly anyhow.

This means that you do NOT have the right to be protected from the offensive.

//tired of this crap.

Vanity plates are the ghey

You still see a lot of the driver's intitals with that "special number that means something to me" on the old folks here in Ohiya. For example, if George Bush lived here, his plates would be somthing like GWB 911

/Me grandfather had vanity plates that read ML 666 in the 1970's

You're so vain.

Remember when Ontario had the Star Trek plates?

I like vanity plates. They allow me to quickly identify the douchebags (if their driving hasn't done that already).

Having said that, if you have to have a license plate and pay for the "privilege," why shouldn't you get to have it say what you want?

Memo to Virginia:

You probably think this plate is about you.

I did like the V AGINA one. Not sure what the point is, other than spelling out the word. Is the driver a Gyno? Or just in possession of a vagina? What's the story there? I bet it's fascinating.

My friend for LANA LARO as her plate.

It's for when you see it in your review mirror.
