    This is Colorado's "regular" license plate now (colors have been reversed from previous years). However, there are at least 100 special editions you can get, and those come in probably every color in the rainbow.

    It used to be so easy to spot a Colorado vehicle because of the green & white plate......it's not so easy now. #licenseplates

    In Ohio, the governor cancelled an impending replate this year because he didn't think motorists should be "burdened" with the costs of new plates during a recession - a whopping $2.50. Also, he waited to make this decision until after the state manufactured and paid for a million of the new plates.

    So, now the state's trying to unload a warehouse of now extra-cost, optional-issue plates. And that's probably a good thing, because the new issue is one of the most hideous plates I've seen in a long time. #licenseplates

    @Who's A Toaster!!??: Yep. The current Ohio slogan is well-earned, albeit clunky (I liked the old "The Heart of it All!" slogan better). However, that doesn't excuse the hideous plate designs the state has had most of this decade. As tacky and poorly designed as the current plate is (the state name and slogan are not legible from a car length back - fail), this new one is all that and more. Why can't states make simple, boring plates that don't detract from the appearance of my vehicle? #licenseplates

    Just make them simple to read at a distance. No picture backgrounds or the like.

    This is a good start, but it also sounds like it is revenue-driven.

    Heh, heh, license plates...driven...get it.

    I tell you. If I had managed to convince Bugatti to ship me a full Veyron engine... in pieces it would not be. I don't know what it would fit in, but I'd sure be trying to figure that out.

    Great story Peter!
