>>The WTC I put in because well....what else do you think about? << At first I thought of "Water Closet" but that's not so controversial... maybe World Trade Center? As a practical joke on my stepbrother (in alberta) we put a front licence plate on his beater truck that said "Because I'm the PRINCESS, that's why" He drove around for two weeks before he realized it was on there. The Alberta and Texas licence plates look similar... now I just have to find pictures of them. As for the Quebec licence plate, the original saying was "La belle province" (the beautiful province) but they changed it to "Je me souviens" (I remember) in 1987. HERE is the whole debate and how it came about that the licence plates got changed. When I was in Alabama, I noticed how insanely boring their licence plates are as well.

You're right Dez, a lot of US plates are boring and that's so funny what you did to your stepbrother!

>> "Because I'm the PRINCESS, that's why" He drove around for two weeks before he realized it was on there << Anyone comment to him derisively?? >> As for the Quebec licence plate, the original saying was "La belle province" << Oh yea! I thought there was something odd about that Quebec plate. Je me souviens!! I Do remember! Quite a controversy as to the meaning. Such as, >> “Je me souviens”, he not only remembers the days of New France but also the fact that he belongs to a conquered people. <<. It still did not say WHY the motto was changed. Many states have license plate options that come in varying colors and styles.

Wow, that Alabama one is a LOT prettier than the other ones I saw. As far as my stepbrother goes, our nickname for him is Princess because he spends HOURS in the bathroom before he goes anywhere. I take 15 mins from the time I wake up 'till the time I walk out the door. No one commented on his licence plate until after he'd noticed it.

OK, it is not as big as Hawaii (above), but it is a new style of plate:

I hate to say it, but I've seen those before, except for the one that has the Yanks on it. Hawaii is a pretty license plate. I forget what it looks like, but I'll always like seeing Alaska cause I want to go there one day.
