I like your plates too - my wife put the stops on that idea (with all the extra costs). She says the state gets enough of our money. She is right. Although I wouldn't mind getting "Assman" for my Impala...

No snow here yet this season. Al Gore is seeing to that.

Well I had to explain what the CS on the end was as it came back from their home office as a question mark. They did look up to see that there was a California Special from Ford. Nothing bad is allowed on the plates like "Mitch Suks" (He's the Gov. of Ind.) Although the BMV is alot quicker these days. Use to be a half a day affair to get your plates. At one time they removed the Clocks out of the BMV so you couldn't tell how long you been there. I guess they think nobody wears a watch.

Remember on Seinfeld - Kramer mistakenly ended up with ASSMAN on his 73 Impala...

"About his ASSMAN plates, Kramer believes that the real owner is a proctologist. He tells Jerry and George that if they ever meet a proctologist at a party, they should stand nearby to be assured of hearing a funny story that will inevitably end with someone claiming "It was a million-to-one shot, Doc".

The "Assman"

Kramer tells Jerry if you're ever at a party stand next to the proctologist they have the best stories. Nobody wants to admit how they got somehting stuck up there.

Scott what's killing us, are one sided trading agreements ... Germany, Korea, Japan and China only allow a few thousand U S auto's to be inported a year while we allow are market to be flooded with there Auto trash! and then we have short sighted americans who buy this crap thinking their getting a deal, when all they are really doing is undermining the economic base which supports their industries too!

I looked at that, but I took enough grief coming here and telling you guys that I bought a BMW. If I woulda said I bought a Hyundai, likely my head would be rolling down the trail like in that one Indiana Jones movie.
