I just traded out my expiring license plate, at left, for a sporty new one. In South Carolina, we got lots to choose from, about a hundred. Governor Sanford vetoed the General Assembly's addition of three more plates to the list, but his veto was over-ridden (the new plate names were pretty innocuous. Things like "Our Farms, Our Future", so the political wrangling might have had more to do with the fine-print than the plate names). I took the standard issue plate, mostly because I'm cheap, but for a few dollars more, I could've had a tribute to my favorite SC college (or Auburn or Georgia Tech. Go figure) or to the Civil War submarine, The Hunley, that sank in SC waters. Or I could have a "Choose Life" or "In God We Trust" plate. What? Religious plates not your cup of tea? You could choose the Secular Humanist's offering "In Reason We Trust" (that's just got to be a ticket magnet). Don't wanna think that hard? Any of the NASCAR commemorative plates might be your scene. Dale, Jr. might not be winning any races lately, but he's doing just fine in license plate sales.

An Earnhart plate?
I'll bet the regular plain old state plate bears the state's official motto, "The Bubba State"
It oughta. Either that, or "Thank God for Mississippi".
Florida has 130 plates from which to choose. You can pick your side on many issues like:
Animal Friend
Conserve Wildlife
vs.
Sportsman's Nat'l Land Trust
Go Fishing
Florida's inmates seem to be quite creative.
I like the Florida family first and Faternal Order of Police mix plate:
Choose Life (without Parole)
I'm not against having an opinion but putting it on a state (issued) license plate is just stupid (and expensive). Isn't that what bumper stickers are for.
130 plates, Star? That's more than Denny's!
Funny stuff, Ange.
Bumper stickers are fine, John, but for $50 more, you can be a state recognized ijit.
