Re: Plates ....Don't know how other states rules apply; When I reserved, knew I wanted per. plates, I applied for different 'names' I wanted, BUT had to transfer to my present car 'cause I DON"T have my smart yet.... That big ol' Buick(aka B.O.B) looks kinda funny with "my4two" on it, but I got what I wanted , didn't have to wait 6 weeks after my new baby gets here & every plate i might have wanted would be already gone. Geez, waiting is almost unbearable !!!!!
