That Michigan plate looks pretty good. I think that plate along with New York and Texas's both have a good idea, they show kind of a "cross section" of the state, with New York's going from Niagara Falls through the mountains in the middle of the state to the Empire State Building. Texas has a similar plate with mountains on the "western" side, then a cowboy on a horse in the middle, and oil wells on the "eastern" side. Maybe Missouri should do some kind of north-south plate with corn and soybeans, the Arch, the Ozarks, and some cotton

 idea! and maybe some BBQ [StL style  ], a flowing stream, a cave or two, and homage to Route 66...  Ok, that be tad cluttered 
How about then something in the order of Florida, but not too crazy - have a few choice to select from?

They looked much nicer online than in person. Can't get the lack of the hyphen bit out of my head. I'll be fine with my "old" one until 2010.

See constitutionaly we have a right to travel , And that some of those that inforce this US. Try to say the right to travel is a privelage controled by them . Funny thing though I travel the UNITED STATES without Plates on my Truck or Trailer and although I some times get stopped and questioned as to why my Vehicles don't have the plates they thought were required upon reading the documents i show them explaining why they allow me to continue on my way.

And what documents might those be? Pray tell? And where can I get some?

What's your opinion of the new plates?

I couldn't agree with you more

I think its ugly....it portrays missouri as a very dull place... I dont like the new Arkansas plate either. The old famous classics are Texas...New York...Georgia....Florida...North Carolina especially Texas.

It's dull, boring and uninspired. Not much creativity. Liked the old ones much better.

It gets the job done. They could go back to the old red things for I care.

Illinois probably ought to do something similar, as both Missouri and Illinois grow cotton in the extreme Southern portions of their respective states and corn and soybeans in the majority of the states. Illinois could put Lake Michigan, corn and soybeans, and cotton on there hehe...that's really a good testament to how far north and how far south it extends.

I'm definitely a fan. I haven't gotten the new ones yet but, I'm not gonna lie, there's a little covetousness going on rollin' down the road when I see others with 'em. lol.
