7-Digit Plates Just wondering if anyone else got fooled into buying the 7-digit plates earlier this year?
I finally paid off the lay-away for mine. I got "DIRTY 30" in the Lone Star White/Blue w/Small Star Plates.

Don't ya love the price increase since they handed the vanity plates off to a private company. I still only pay 50 more a year for mine since I grandfathered in on both of mine. They can choke on the 150$ a year jump I don't care how bad *** they make them look.

Yeah that's great if you plan on living here your whole life, but I move every 2-3 years and refuse to pay that 800 for 10 years for 3 years of use.
way too expensive. Last year I'm doing that one though.

Its the principal of it. Just by price the cheapest per year charge is twice what it was a few years ago. Now... if all this extra money was going into the state coffers I wouldn't whine as much, but its a private company that is turning a profit. Most likely a private company owned in full or part by one of our senators or their election buddies. That's why I refuse to ever get another vanity plate, it reeks of corruptiion and until proven otherwise I refuse to feed money to that company.

I spend more than 80 bucks for a nice dinner with the wife so to me its not that big of a deal. I realize its the principal but there's a lot more important crap to get pissed about than license plates. Just my .02

With the amount of money I waste every month the $80 per year didn't seem too bad. I jumped on the 7 letter plate for my G8 GXP. I got SLOW4DR but won't put it on the car until it's under boost.
