Vanity tags

We've got vanity plates on all our vehicles.  The main reason is because the standard Nebraska plates are hideous so we get the Husker plates which look a lot better.

None of ours are Tri specific.  Mine is my company name, my wife has RVING on the minivan and our RV has WHR2NXT on it.

I managed to inherit "HASHER" here in Texas...never giving it up until I'm not a resident anymore!  This plate is on my Honda.

I wanted to put one on my truck too, but since I got the HASHER plate they have changed the system.  My HASHER plate is grandfathered under the old system so it's only an extra $40/yr to have the vanity plate.  New vanity plates are either $300 for one year or $800 for ten years...that a LUDICROUS amount of money to pay for a vanity plate.  I could ALMOST be convinced to go for the ten year one, HOWEVER, I won't be a TX resident for that long (I have less than 9 years left in the military) and I know I won't have two cars the entire time either and whichever car I have longer is going to get the HASHER plate.

Makes me sad.  At $40/yr I would have put something on the truck just for fun for a few years until I retire the Honda, but not at $300/yr.  I hope Texas realizes how stupid an idea it was to switch systems.  I don't see too many people forking over that much money for a vanity plate.

Oh, and if I'd gotten the one on the truck it would have been HASHER2. :D  But something tri specific might have been cool too.

Don't.

Instead of a vanity plate i chose to support a cause:

I have one.  But people here ridicule me for it and think it was totally stupid.

So I ain't sayin'.

Wow $300? That's absurd. It's $20 in PA.

I am the president of our local trails group and I also have a Share The Road plate.

Saw one once that said

BAK-OFF

lol, I doubt I could get away with that one in NE.  You have to get through the PC police and I'd have to come up with a pretty good story to get it approved.

On a totally unrelated thought I just remembered that I had a good friend who wanted to be in the FBI so bad that he had FBI posters up in his room and talked about it all the time.  He was so bad that everyone called him JefFBI (name was jeff).

Double your chances, double your fun....

I'm sure someone making that license plate had a good laugh.

Tri DB is almost as funny as JefFBI

He should post that on ST.
