<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1213810, member: 24633&quot;]My Florida license plate was scheduled for renewal. I wanted to get a different personalized plate to honor my Mom &amp; Dad so instead of going online to renew my old personalized plate, 9BAWL, I opted to go to the Tag Office to see what was available. Florida has more than 70 specialty plates in addition to the 2 standard plates. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are certain limitations to the number of characters you can use. Some of the specialty plates have a left-side logo for such things as the USMC insignia, US ARMY, Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles, etc. This style of plate can only accommodate 5 characters. Another style of specialty plate has a centered logo which can accommodate up to 6 characters with one or two spaces. The standard plates can accommodate up to 7 characters or 6 characters with one or two spaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the clerk was kind enough to take the time to go through all of the different options that were available to me, and I finally decided that I could use &quot;DEC 6 41&quot; with two spaces. That was the day that Mom &amp; Dad got married.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, it was time to choose which specialty plate would be appropriate. A sample plate of each of the different designs is mounted on a 20&#039; wall behind the counter. The clerk waited patiently as I browsed through all of the samples. The Heart logo for medical research? No! The Apple logo for teachers? No. The Manatee logo for &quot;Save the Manatee&quot;? No. I&#039;ve already used the Everglades logo, the Challenger logo and the Orlando Magic logo. Those were out. I was about ready to give up. The only thing I hadn&#039;t considered were the two standard Florida plates that were mounted in the bottom corner at the very end of the wall. As I was turning to go back to the beginning, I glanced at the standard plates and I stopped dead in my tracks. There it was! The perfect plate to honor Mom &amp; Dad which also gave recognition for something I have enjoyed for more than 5 decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
