How much more do vanity plates cost each year where you live?

plates here in ontario cost us like $75 a year for the sticker but if you want a vanity plate is something like $310 for the initial purchase and then the sticker for as long as you want it

Guess I have it pretty good. Here in Maine, plates are a 1 time cost of $25, vanity or not. If you get a vanity plate, it's $15 a year after that.

Illinois has no additional charge last I checked as long as you use numbers and letters.
Mine says XCESIV and is a $15 donation to local school district each year. Did it at the height of gas prices couple years ago.

They told me that first, I HAVE to have a weighted tag and than that because I had a weighted tag, I could NOT get a vanity tag and I'm in NC.

Does all this make sense to you?

I think your plate is fine

schrods,

That's the whole idea (wives just don't understand). As long as you know, let 'them' figure it out.

PA vanity plate is your normal yearly registration fee plus $20 (1 time) for the plate. In PA the X qualifies as a 'station wagon' and the car fee instaed of the truck fee. About $30 cheaper if I remember correctly.

I, personally, have never felt the Excursion ride is exhilarating...but that's just me. Mine should read BGGSBL - BiGGaSBilL.

Your right Monsta, it's not fast and doesn't handle the best, I did it more for the WOW factor I get when someone gets in for the first time and goes for a ride. I mean driving your living room around with a sound system as good as any nice home theater, and as comfortable as your ol' lazy boy just makes me feel all fuzzy.

Well, LOW MPG is taken in NC and not only that, they don't have a "theme" plate that holds over 4 letters

I swear this state sucks!

Anyone have any cool suggestions for me for my tag that I can try?

I thought I was going to copy someone else's LOCOMOTV which I thought was cool but I feel stupid for copying
