Florida Specialty Tag and OB/B

I am trying to find the best possible color combination of our forthcoming Oxygen Blue/Black and a Florida Specialty Tag. Does someone have the perfect combination that they would like to share. Could some fellow Floridian please help me with this major decision in my life - thanks!

How about "florida Springs
Have you gone to the PLP site and narrowed down the 3 or 6 plates you like best? http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/specialtytags/

Im going for this one I think, as it will go good with my CR/B MCS and I am presently also seeking my Elementary Ed. degree (just in time for my next career, after I retire from the Air Force)

Yeah, save $37 and get a regular tag.

Florida has gone overboard with this cash cow. They have over 50 specialty tag with more comming I'm sure.

Standard Florida Tag looks great and none on front

Heck, we don't even need windshield stickers (or inspections).

As a long time Florida resident, I am all for optional taxes (like this and the lotterys) that I don't feel guilty about not paying.

Great link that JCR1960 put up to that polktax website! nearly 100 colorful choices

I do feel sympathy for the law enforcement people who get confused by all those odd looking tags.

Like the Challenger . Columbia tag the best but not $37 worth.
Some other nice ones are $10 cheaper, why Boy Scouts, when the Girl Scouts are discontinued?

Not sure if it is still true, but auto/boat registration prices were often different in different county's.

No requirement to reside inside the County you are buying the tag from.
