Early Michigan Christmas present from DMV

Submitted by WFBlue on

Arrived in the mail this morning.  Since it has been a few years since I applied for the tag, I had forgotten all about it.  For those who ordered in NC,  they should be arriving soon.  Happy Holidays to all.

You are so right!  So when I decided to get a new licence plate to commerate our position as the #1 team in all of college football in total victories I took a picture too.  But I didnt want to be all "showy" with it so I made sure the licence plate frame was gone.

While they are all luxury cars they are all essentially quite different.  Yes, Audi has made great strides in recent years and BMW has fallen off a bit (my personal opinion as an ex-BMW owner).  Personally I feel you can group the four as such:

- Audi: Best technology, excellent power for the $ (especially in the S series), most reliable but has the most asinine steering of the bunch (very dead feeling).

- BMW: It really is the 'ultimate driving machine' - might not have the straight line speed of a comparable German car, but can handle exceptionally well around the corners at speeds higher than the other.

- Merc: The most 'bonkers' of them all - more ostentatious and crazy (see: any AMG ever) than the German competition.  Probably a bit overpriced and less reliable.

- Porsche: "I drive this but absolutely have at least one other car in my garage".  Fast.  Sexy.  Can be had for cheap but its flagship car (the 911 and its many varieties) is the most expensive of the four German automakers.  Anything less than a 'turbo' has a stigma associated with it.

Amazing!  I hope mine arrives soon.  I do have a new address, so I hope that the know where to find me!

I may have to drive by my old place to see if it's there.

Go Blue!

I need to step up my license plate frame game - I drive an Impala yet the plate frame is from a Chrysler dealership,so it just looks half-assed. I shall aspire to do better.

Incidentally, the plate the OP posted looks pretty cool really, although I think they should also have "Space, Bitches. Space!" as an option rather than "First In Flight" just for the Michigan plates.

Being a resident of South Carolina, I have to say that the North Carolina plates are among my favorite in the union. I'll have to check in with my DMV and see what the possibilities of getting a custom U of M plate are.

What pisses me off is that the state of MICHIGAN doesn't even have an updated logo. But other states do. We still have this ugly thing-

I got my special vanity plate recently and complained about the logo/plate.

  1. The logo should be the official one of the University in the OP or this-
  2. The plate design for Universities are lame and boring. Look at the creativity & color for the state of Alabama plates. I've seen plenty of these (I have family in AL)-
