For a stinkin’ license plate sticker! Not two brand new sheet metal plates but one 1” x 1-1/2” holographic STICKER!


The good news is, instead of it being pink or chartreuse or mustard colored this year it’s silver, ahh.

Rant over.

I think my tags are ususally ~160 for my c5 here in MI. I feel sorry for people like Deb. My friend Nick pays over $1000 for his Murcielago tags. Our system is terrible.

I just had a surgical procedure performed on my genitals when I renewed the plates on the Jeep. It was about $140 also.

Glad my plate registration is pretty reasonable - around $89.50 for a two year registration on the C5.

Yeah, it will be interesting this year with the silver ones. I've put 3 on already and when I rub them to get them to stick the numbers started coming off on all 3. Hate to see what a full year of weather will do.
