    Ha ha! The cheesy new Alabama tags are hyper-reflective, which will screw up some red light flash cameras (especially in other states).

    Indiana plates do suck, and they're boring, but at least we don't have rainbows anymore! LOL!

    New York and New Jersey do this too. I can't understand it at all. It's so much easier for law enforcement to read the expiration year when it's on the plate itself versus on the windshield. Why would state government impede law enforcement like this??

    My buddy specifically wanted that blue and white plate because it matched his viper gts! Ohio has had the flat plates for years now. They used to be tan and white, now they are red white and blue. I just cover mine with a tinted cover. Much better looking!

    While it doesn't bother me, I'd rather have it on the LP like it use to be done. I remember being a small kid and putting the stickers on the plates with my dad.

    In AZ it is like those credit cards you can put your own picture on. We must have 30 styles.
    It got sop bad they now can fine you $300 or so if your frame even partially obscures the word ARIZONA at the top, cause the cops (and CAMERAS!!!) can't tell what state you are from..

    Nah, the whole state said "Wander". I don't think anyone knew what it meant. LOL.

    to wander, or ramble along, idle about without direction also meander. I only know this word becouse my grandmother is a wordsmith, I've got words that have no use today as most people haven't a clue as to what I'm elucidating :D
    I can only assume it was placed on the plate as a means to say explore the state of Indiana.

    Really big f*** you money would run no plate at all.
    Seriously though why would a cop care as long as the sticker is current?
