My New (to me) Ski Car

[RootDKJ]

Congrats!

nice car, I've been thinking of picking up a winter beater...although not quite as nice as yours. More along the lines of if it breaks down/wrecks on the way to work or ski I can just leave it in a ditch, call in sick and spend $20 on a cab home, then just buy another beater.

Just one question...why would you spoil such a nice car with those yellow plates? (no, after so many years on hiatus, I still have not let go of my repulsion towards Jersey...guess you can take me out of NY, but not NY out of me)

We now have orange plates in NY... I missed the cutoff but I'd like to get em.. They'd look good on my ride.. Old school...

I was offered them but I was getting rid of them the next day. It worked out that my registration expired the same day I moved to vermont, so I had to pay 120 just to drive to my new state and pay another 90 to register again the next day. I like the orange plates, but to be honest, I got my car in black because I thought the color would look good with green....it does.

Green is better then orange... But orange is better then yellow...

I'm with you on the color Warp. I never liked it in the 70's and I still don't like it. I like the NH green-on-white, and the VT and CO white-on-green best of all. That's why I moved It was nirvana green-on-white in Mass, until the late 80s when they messed it up.

Just for the record...Mass. is New Englands take on a NJ. You see the plates and just know your better off taking the long way.

So NJ is to NY as MASS is to New England...

NJ should have kept the black on tan plates they had back in the '70s.

I am still not a fan of the yellow NJ plates, but imo the new NY plates are hideous, unless you're a knicks/mets/or SU fan maybe.

I didnt mind the old blue and white nj plates.

I also agree that NH, CO, and VT get it right. I like(d?) the ME plates with the lobster. I like the red white and blue ohio plates; simple, patriotic.

Also like Utah's skier (obviously) and Oregon's pine tree/mts.

i just got a new ride and opted to keep the blue/white NY plates rather than the new ugly orange/yellow/blue ones.....aweful

V. good choice, imo.

They discontinued the original ones. Now you can get a lobster plate with a pic of a lobster and instead of saying vacationland it says lobster. Which I think is the dumbest thing, it's like no shit you have a lobster on your plate.

Are people colorblind? I have heard this from many people. These plates are yellow and navy. All of the teams I hear mentioned are orange and royal blue.

The plates have a definite orange look to them, IMHO.
