new "empire gold" NY plates
new "empire gold" NY plates
Man, people are very passionate about this change at the NY DMV and there is a hell of a flap from people who are freaking out about it.
I kinda like em, just got a set for my wagon, but the DMV counter demon told me that I was crazy to request em if they were available, and that personally she hated them. That was the most emotion I think I have ever seen from a person who works at a DMV.
These are the state colors, and are actually historical since they match most of the NY plates over the years. The white and blue was a departure, and they say this is far easier to read by cops and 25 bucks extra overall as they are issued, which I think is reducing most of the state to frothing incoherence.

The new NY yellow plate looks awesome against MB brown by the way.

CA plates are super boring. For such a diverse state, the standard plate is a joke. The vanity ones are pretty though, there is a nice selection.
