But first off, before anybody starts coming up with ideas for a personal plate for their boat trailer, I have to tell you this part too;

Okay, I hate to go to the DMV in the first place anyway (doesn't everybody ?) But I got up early, and got there before they opened.... like 3rd in line. So I get to the window, and tell the lady I'm here for my personal license plate. She pulls it right out.... "Here ya' go... what do ya' think" ? Cooool ! I love it !

Then she starts having trouble with the paper (PC) work. So while shes struggling, I notice that my new plate says "California" across the top, instead of "Permanent Trailer" ! I mention this to her and shes like, "Oh.... Yea.... Huh".... So she gets on the phone to Sacramento, where somebody tells her, that they did not issue personal plates for boat trailers ! So now what ? I have to hand her this plate back ? What about the money I paid for it ? Oh.... well you will have to fill out these forms !!! UUURRRGGG !!!! Needless to say, smoke was starting to pour from ears !

Then, this "very cool lady" right beside her (her co-worker) says, "Just give him a PTI (permanent trailer identification) sticker for it"...... So the lady says, "But I called Sac, and they said......." The other lady cuts in with, "Who cares what they said.... You already have the plate... just give him the PTI sticker and be done with it" ! Geeez ! I really like that lady :-)

So anyway, after paying my dollars, waiting 10 weeks, dragging my self to the DMV, and then enduring some very tense moments, I finally ended up with a personal plate that I just love ! :-)

Oh, and on a funnier note;

On my paper work, it said, "If this plate is intended as a gift, please send the recipient to the Ca DMV with this form".........

Yea' buddy ! Your such a good friend, I'm going to force you to go to the DMV" !!! Ha !

Geez, what would you do for your enemies ??? LOL

Anyway....

Peace,

Alfred

Very cool!

Chris, you might want to swap out those nuts and bolts for stainless steel hardware, otherwise you will have rust streaks on your brushed aluminum tag frame by the end of the year.

Looks sharp!  

Great Plate!  Love it!  ;D

Nice! I like the frame also!

Another quick tip if the little things matter to you would be to take some of your wifes white nail polish or white electrical tape and color over the little bits of red from the word "california" that show up thru your name.

I have had my plate for 13 years, and don't want to give it up...It is BASFISH

Gotta love it...

Brian

LBH,It looks like your tags are expired, ;D

Yes.... I will try to get some stainless nuts and bolts for the plate holder soon..... and try to touch up the red that shows through the letters.

Fish on !!!!!   ZZZZZZZZZZZZ   ZZZZ  ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ   :-)

Any way to get rid of that red lettering alltogether?  

Some awesome plates there.  Hooker you're from Rhode Island?  A fellow New Englander!

Since I am from Louisiana and love to eat crawfish; plus the crawfish is a bass' favorite food, my car plate reads:

CRAWFSH

I get a lot of looks and smiles as I travel the roads of Virginia.

Lol, that's not my plate.  Belongs to a friend of mine.  Lobster/clam fisherman.

Sorry to change the subject, but you had mentioned being from Louisiana, and about Crawdads being a bass' favorite food.....

Well, if you have looked over my site, you will probably see how much I like fishing with live dads.... although I don't get to do it much anymore. Also, I lived in Louisiana for 3 years, from 93' to 96'. I tried Crawdads for bait down there a few times, but didn't do well on them. In fact, I can't really remember catching anything at all on them. Just wondering if you ever tried them, down there, and if so, what were your experiences ?

BTW, those Crawdads sure were some great eating :-) ......course I'm part fish, so its probably no surprise how much I like em' ! :-)

Peace,

Fish
