The lady from the state "review panel" called me. She said with the additional information and the web sites I gave them, the plate is now approved.


What an interesting approach. Things that are offensive are suddenly rendered innoffensive if there's a web site about them.

Shows about the same mentality as printing f&@k instead of the full spelling in the newspapers.

Good on'ya anyway, a small victory for common sense.


Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, Amen!

Go, bro!   It's always fun to beat the bureaucracy (even if it's rarely on matters of life and death!).    ;D

we expect a pic once they're on!

Nathan,

Of course I'll post a pic. This web site has helped me so much, it's the least I can do.

I haven't actually received the alledged offensive plate yet.

When I get it, how about a picture of the plate right next to the denial letter? And then one on the car.

Stay tuned,

Jim

I'm almost dissappointed that I wasn't able to fight with them a little bit. But I really want the plate so I'm not complaining.

That's great. I looked at your plate and I wasn't offended even a little.

Thanks,

i used to think my dad was a man unparalleled, but your 6.9 resto reminds me there are people just as crazy who will restore something thought beyond restoration!

And now, the rest of the story...













Wait just a minute folks, it's not really over. They messed up the order and by accident they are sending me a second plate (we normally only use one).

Unbelievable

I thought I'd bite my tounge until the plate became a reality.  But there it is. 

Looking at it though, "6POINT9",  - I'm ofended by the connotations it invokes.  ;D 
-   ie: you have one and I don't. :D

Congrats, it looks great!!!

So, over there, do you have speed cameras all over the place or do you actually still have real police on the roads?

I'll assume you still have real police since you only need one licence plate ;)

That's correct, we still have real police and only a rear plate. If I actually get the second plate I think I'll hang it on the wall or something. Maybe I can sell it on ebay?
