 Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:15 pm Post subject: Ordered new plates |
 |
|
I saw a set of these at work last week and thought I had to have a set too. Today I went to the Department of Licensing and ordered the new set, so until they come in, I am on a temorary paper tag.
Here's what they look like on the DOL site. I like them because they have an unfurled American Flag as the background.
I will also have a retired sticker to go under the Navy Seal.

Tony, SMPLE is short for SAMPLE, as in, that plate is a SAMPLE of what it will look like. |

Not as much "custom" as "special edition, or specialty." Simple for simple minds - we're easily amused  I'll end up with a number there, paperwork says 00807.

I've seen quite a few of those around town after they released them. I can think of a LOT of better ways to spend $40 though. However they are still a pretty unique idea.
BTW, Ian, did I see a National Guard plate on Arly's Vette the last time I was out at 56th? |

After Al's service in the Navy I think they are perfect. |

I doubt it. I could be wrong but I thought he was a squid. I've been wrong before though. 
Custom plates are awesome. But now people will forever be asking you what it means.

Let them ask If they can't figure out what U.S. Navy Retired means, then screw 'em 
I used to have the U.S. Veteran sticker on my last plate (not my current one) and the most I was asked was where I got it.
