another good one to look for is 046 BRE

or why not DAT 510. I unfortunately can't get that plate in oregon till every plate with DAT as the first three letters is off the streets which could take a while...

it had been off the DMV computers for ??? (last current reg in 95) so they tried to make me take new plates and i refused.
if the reg had been current or they could locate it on the computer, it would not have been an issue.

Car insurance in BC is all done by the government so it all happens at the same time.

Hang,

In Cali, they added the use of the hand and a few other symbols for their custom plates. That's one thing we don't have here. Even a custom plate can only be up to 7 digits or letters, no symbols at all.
One member has PSN NSN as his custom plate. The Pissin’ Nissan story is not as long as the Bert Vorgon/Lake Bullshitski story, but it's got even more age and definitely worthy!
Besides that, there are not that many custom plates in the club - I guess we spend our money on going fast instead.

Byron, last summer I had to jump through some hoops to get my dad's Sundance in my name and insured in Ontatio... well anyway I spent at least an hour every 10 days in the DMV and you can get plates with Canadian hockey and baseball team logos on them. And more:

In Ontario you can have your car club's logo put onto a plate when a minimum number of people sign up.
