Seriously bit. It's so underwhelming, why bother?

Florida has a very good plate. Definitely top 10 for me.

Btw, I was tailing a black LC 500 on 95 today. So freakin beautiful! I love that car.

When I worked in NYC I used to see handicapped placards with up to 10 plates #s on it. It made me think if it was actually being used by the right person. I would see the same cars parked on metered spots all day that would cost me $35 for six hours to park.

NYS state plates used to have raised lettering. Now they are all flat. Look so cheap.

Guy at the gym could be there to do some low impact exercise like swimming. Great for rehab.

Ive seen him workout, unless it’s something mental like PTSD, there didn’t appear to be anything wrong but you are right, I shouldn’t be judging because I don’t know but it’s hard sometimes.

As for my next door neighbor, I do know and have no respect for that.

PA just rolled out a new optional plate for 2025. Big shocker...they're ugly lol. I give it a 3/10. Other states have always had much cooler looking plates.

Better than the current PA plates which are hideous IMO

Yep. I keep the tag in a hidden spot and hang it after I park. People can seriously FO, and I tell them that....I've had 3 fkkkn back surgeries and a 4th at the end of the month in as many years. Leave me alone.

Yep, that's mostly my problem. I can't go for long. All my doctors are optimistic though for the next surgery.

Yeah thats the reaction I got when I made the swap the last time. The laurel and wreath and three pointed star is just a little busy to me, and these are a 3D MB logo and they catch the light better.
