That looks just PEACHY.
Are the fasteners under the red reflectors?

Hmmm...10 provinces plus three territories, 50 states plus DC...where'd the 62 come from?"Time is the greatest teacher; unfortunately, it kills all of its students."Comment

64 eh?
Hi LoHo,Originally posted by LoHo View Post
it came from me forgetting that one of the Canadian territories had recently split and from being unaware that DC issued it's own plates.
But you too could start your own exclusive group.
How about NTPKR?Fred Hill, S'toon

And don't forget Puerto Rico, Guam and the other U.S. territories as well, all of which issue their own plates, including vanity plates.Originally posted by fredintoon View PostCy

Fred, Nunavut split off in 1999, but I know what you mean. I talk to my students about things I remember well, and it was a decade before they were born. Mount St. Helen, breakup of the Soviet Union, Desert Storm...soon, I'll have to explain 9/11, as these kids were toddlers in 2001."Time is the greatest teacher; unfortunately, it kills all of its students."Comment

Not as exclusive as I'd thought.
Hi Cy,Originally posted by cywelchjr View Post
OK then, let's spread the concept. How many XS vanity plates could there be? How many plate issuing jurisdictions are there, world wide?
We will be limited to the jurisdictions that allow vanity plates, allow two letter registrations and use the Roman alphabet.
Then there's the prospects, guys too late to get XS who are willing to settle for XS-11 etc.Fred Hill, S'toon

You guys make me feel SO much better about my level of anal retentiveness, I practically feel like a free spirit some days.

Not to mention other variations one can come up with.
Like
XS1100
XS11SG XS11SF ... etc
80XS11 79XS ....etc
XSELVN ... and any variation
Some can even get 7 letters instead of just 6.
I'd love to get 'antique' plates for mine, but then I can't use them for daily drivers.
