The DMV & Custom plates....
The DMV & Custom plates....
The DMV finally got the title from the dealership, so I went to pay the tax, title, license and order my "signature plates"... 6-8 weeks to get in the new plates "TYPS FTW" but the plates they gave me in the mean time mock me... "RSX 32" WTF?!?!
I just got an email from the DMV about "TYPS FTW":
Thank you for your online submission for the plate TYPS FTW
Unfortunately the Department of Motor Vehicles is unable to process your request

I called to verify why and they said that the OTHER meaning for FTW is offensive and is "black listed" from being able to be put on a license plate!!! While there's a trailbrazer running around with "RU LEGAL" on the plates!!!

Their excuse was that if someone calls and complains that the plates are offensive, they have to recall the plate and I have to reselect a new "message". This costs more $$ for me and the DMV. I told them I would take my chances, but they still said "NO". So I tweaked it just so they would approve the plates.
Yeah FL paper had an article last week about this. They met at the capital to discuss new slang terms, & other offensive slogans to put on the ban list for plates. They do it every year.

Sounds like they're trying to play nanny. What's next, if I have an offensive bumper sticker, I'd get pulled over by the cops?
