How are they 'taken'?

I'm curious to know if one plate in California on a truck would invalidate the same plate in a different state on a different model vehicle.

I had a couple idea's.. I think I'm going to go with:

8 UR SI

APEX

HORDE

or

KEK

 

Plates are individual by state. So two people in different states can have the same plate.

 

and you can probably check online at the state's DMV site to see if they are already taken.

 

i just went to the tax office and had a couple of sayings made up. they just plug it in the database and tell you if they're taken or not.

I ended up getting

1 CLN TC

 

NY is awesome for plates... you can go online and actually see what is available and it will show you exactly what your plate will look like.

The rest of the DMV site sucks though, you can't pay your registration or anything like that online yet. Or renew anything. That was probably the one and only thing I ever missed about living in PA...

 

You can do the same thing in cali

KEK would be neat :D

 

Al, you can renew your reg online for NY state, you can also replce a lost title, register a car for the first time, theres alot you can do on the site. http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/

 

Ah... maybe it was b/c my address had changed... you can't do it when that is the case.

PA did have just about everything though.

 

Hey watch it! That's OK because I hate this state too...

 

kinda lame but i had SCIONRA on my tc when i had it but it fit pretty good seeing how the car had 250whp trd s/c...

 

its supposed to mean sianora if thats even how its spelled

 

Mine says "HER TC"

 

I've always wanted to put on mine "NOTABOX"

 

since we on this subject..how much do custome plates cost??

 

It varies from state to state, and from license plate to license plate. For example, in Texas personal plates range from free (medal of honor/veteran plates) to $60-80 (universities and the such). A plain personalized plate costs $40.

 

got a WoW addict here huh?

 

hey i was thinking about having my license plate say "HIS TC"

do you object?

 

LOL!!!

oh really? i was thinking

"MY POS"

 

My initials are NV, so when I got my car and was one of the first in MI to have a tC, I wanted to get NVMYTC. Kinda like a play on words, but I was afraid it would come of arrogant and inviting for some _______ to key the car.
