Ordered new plates
So last Monday, the 26th of October, I went to the DMV and ordered up personalized plates for BIG RED. After choosing the plate style (we have close to 25 styles) and what I wanted that wasn't already taken, I plopped down my $35.00 and was told not to expect them for at least 12 weeks.
I get home from work today and I find these in my mail.......

Re: Ordered new plates
I believe ours went to $75 per year plus the other regular fees .I turned the one I had back in and opted for a total of $20 with fees.

Re: Ordered new plates
I like that!! Here's mine. The state plate itself is pretty boring. I wanted BIG RED, but it was taken too.

Re: Ordered new plates
Those are awesome and for the price WOW!
Up here I'm sure they are over 100 bucks, I never had anything unique enough to consider getting them...until now  Actually I would like to try and find some original 78 plates but I know that will cost well over 200 bucks I'm sure.
