How come I have NEVER seen any California license plate like these? I visited California often and I always see white background plate with red cursive 'California'.
I'm no fan of Alabama's. We have two counties on the Gulf of Mexico, and we put a beach scene on our tag. Why give the false impression that the state has some major involvement with the ocean? The previous ones weren't better. No one liked "Stars Fell on Alabama" so they gave you the option of getting an American flag one which is also pretty lame. The "Heart of Dixie" tags immediately preceding "Stars Fell on Alabama" were pretty good. I wish we would go back to that one.
Simiarly Mississippi is also on this beach kick with their lighthouse tags. Mississippi has a longer coastline than Alabama, but I still wouldn't consider them to be majorly involved with the ocean.
Yes I did notice the skyline. My point is it's small and doesn't focus in on it much, let alone on any of the 3 major cities in the state. I'm not complaining, mainly just stating what I would have done differently.
Well there's only so much room on a single license plate so you can't really "focus on" three major cities. And if you focus on one, residents from the other two will howl. I think having the skyline in the background of a mostly rural setting accurately captures the relative proportions of Ohio real estate occupied by urban versus rural environments.
The only thing more amazing than seeing a picture of a Newfoundland plate is that someone drove from Newfoundland to California.
Canadian plates are not uncommon here, we get quite a few British Columbia plates, Alberta, Ontario and the not so occasional Newfoundland plates. Mexican license plates are rare in my area, I have only seen 7-10 in my entire life, half of them were from Baja California/Sur, the rest were from central Mexican states.
The strangest plate I have seen was a blue Bahamas licence plate on a Honda.
What I can't believe about Georgia is how many university plates you can get to support public universities from other states. Illinois has tons of university plates too but only one for an out-of-state school, namely Notre Dame. But Notre Dame is an honorary Chicago-area school and a private school, so at least the state isn't facilitating support for a public institution in another state like a lot of GA's university plates.

The problem I had when I lived in Newfoundland, was that when I was in the US, people were trying to steal my plates right off the car when it was parked. It's an even more serious problem on cars from Northwest Territories, with their polar-bear-shaped plates.
I think word has gotten around that obscure plates can be sold to collectors, which makes them attractive to people who need drug money.
I don't like the new New York plates. Those colors don't go well together. The old plates were much, much better.
Indiana's God plates were both embarrassing and ugly. I tend to prefer simple license plates, like Michigan or California. Ohio is a good example of a plate that's "too busy".
I miss this one that doesn't have the silly URL at the top and the orange is missing the blossom which distorts the entire image when glancing at it. This one was simple, showed the peninsula, and an orange.
Now we have this one to deal with and I'm considering getting a specialty plate just to have a different plate.
