It's going into effect in the next month or so, and they will at first be limited to new vehicle purchases and renewals for expiring plates. I'm not sure when they will be available for existing cars whose plates still have time left.

I'm still celebrating the demise of the 55 MPH speed limit.
Am I showing my age?

I like it! Like your car even more, but I think I mentioned that once before. Must be the GP kit on Indi Blue.

Tag ordered! Most of the good ones are taken. I have an idea for one using the 'Great Seal' plate, but I didn't think "WTFVER" would go over well with my fiance

I took MINIFRG, as froggie is my pet name.

People ask "Mini Fridge?"
No, "Mini Frog!"

(Sometimes I say yes, because I like the air conditioner on full blast.)

My car is Indi Blue, so I say it's supposed to be a South American tree frog or something.

How about "I[heart]MY JCW" ? (California allows us to use the heart symbol on family themed plates.)

I always wanted to get a plate that says I[heart]boost when I lived in CA. Now that I'm in KY, they don't offer the heart. It makes me sad

I have been thinking of some. We are only allowed 6 charecters so I have:

BLANKU
URMUM
UPURS
SPCAGT (almost NO one will ever get this one)

HA! The last one is SPECIAL AGENT, yes??? I kinda doubt they'd go for "BLANKU" only because it's "offensive"...unless you have an "alternate" explanation for it...like, perhaps, you're deciding on which university to attend, but in a jesting school spirit have BLANK U to stand for BLANK University!

OK... I guess it wasn't as hard as I thought, or you're just really clever. But, do you get the reference? We can only submit three choices at once so I would nix URMUM on the first round and add a note of explanation. But, any of the 3 would be awesome and I doubt anyone has them here.
