Strange License Plates

**PatO** · 04-12-2005, 09:03 PM

On the way to work this morning, I saw a HAWAIIAN License Plate on a new Durango... What on earth is a dude from Hawaii doing in Minnesota, and why did he pay to have his car shipped over here? Why not just hold off on buying your car until you move? Or perhaps it was an unexpected move? Or perhaps he's rich and just wanted to amaze the f^ck out of some icebox Minnesotans?

For the past 6 months, I've been noticing a yellow Ford Excrape on the way to work. The color stands out like a sore thumb, no doubt, but that is not what is interesting - the dude has a Green Bay Packers license plate (evil Wisconsinite). And the rear one EXACTLY matches his cars color. I found this odd at first, and then I saw his front plate - it was the proper color and didn't match the car at all (shade was slightly off). So, is it legal to paint license plates???

Oh, and MN now has a quarter. I'm so proud!

Ne1 have similar strange license plate sightings?

Wait, so when I see a car with yellow plates, it means they're alcoholics or something?

They were Green Bay Packers plates - some fools pay extra for them. Yellow background with a big green G on 'em. Vanity plates.

Ya - VV or something. Had a two digit number on it. Didn't know they shipped your car - cool. I hope MN lets him keep the plates - quite a topic for discussions around the watercooler!
