I can't say I have any idea what you're talking about because as far as I know we've gone straight from the panoramic ones to the plain white ones with the minimal decoration. Maybe dealer ones? I've no idea. e: it would appear I am very wrong and that the vast majority of non-passenger new plates are flat. Please feel free to call me an idiot. solarNativity fucked around with this message at 16:19 on May 6, 2014 |

I was disappointed when I moved here and got my plates. They're metal, yes, but they are flat and feel like the numbers will just flake off or something.

 This will never, ever not be funny to me. If I felt like spending the money I'd gladly get one of those. Connecticut recently (in the past couple of years?) changed their license plate standard from 123*456 to a six-digit alphanumeric jumble like A31562 with no dot/circle in between the six digits. I don't get home very often so it's always jarring when I see those plates and I hates it.

Linedance posted:The Best License Plates. End of discussion. Nunavut used to have those as well following their split, they stopped borrowing the NWT design a couple years ago, but the replacement is almost as awesome  Not that you're likely to ever see one in person outside of the territory, there are no roads into Nunavut, and according to Wikipedia, there's less than 900Km of roads (in an area over 2 million km2)

You can get an "In God We Trust" plate in South Carolina. In looking it up, the Secular Humanist of the Low Country group has been able to get an "In Reason We Trust" plate as well. http://www.scdmvonline.com/dmvnew/plategallery.aspx edit: I assume this is because these are optional plates and not the standard ones. Still, I find it interesting. Nocheez fucked around with this message at 19:26 on May 6, 2014 |

Also, "In God We Trust" has been the motto of the United States since I prefer the original motto, E Pluribus Unum. Short, sweet, to the point, uncontroversial, says what we're all about, Latin. What else do you need in a motto?

It turned off just ahead of that light, and I was on the wrong side. Unfortunately it was slow, sounded like a turd, the tires were poo poo, and it had mismatched, banged-up front panels. I was hoping it would pull away from the light with the rears burning and the exhaust screaming black death. Still more interesting than every other Camry on the road.

You know that's a cannon and that that's a flag used in the Texan revolution against Mexico, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_and_take_it#Texas_Revolution Here's some awful offroad hackjob poo poo! Many cases of RC Cola were consumed and much playing of banjos and gently caressing of cousins was required to bring you this quality engineering and fabrication.

Wait, what? In all my time in Oregon and Washington, around countless lifted redneck trucks, I have never seen this. What... why? e. I mean, is it a mud thing? Like... some advantage to keeping your rear end low and the front all high up? But... I... I don't

I think you might be reading too much into it, the guy is a loving idiot and calculated* his shock rate all wrong. (Those shocks were intended for the stock suspension geometry, which has them acting on the middle of the IFS LCA, meaning that there is roughly a 2:1 mechanical advantage on them in the stock suspension.) Or maybe he wanted a ton of lift but not that much, and is planning on putting giant lift blocks in the rear. I'm not sure, but I'll probably see the rest of this hackjob when it's posted in the pirate4x4 hackjobs and failures thread, so I'll toss it up here too. * did not calculate at all, ever

That just looks like he only had enough money to do the front lift and is still saving up for the back.
