That's RI for you. I'm still willing to pay. Guess the state doesn't care about the extra revenue.

It's $68 to get a vanity plate the first time, vs a boring regular plate is $32.50. Every time you have to renew your vanity plates is $120, where regular plates don't have that $120 extra, just based on vehicle weight plus a DOT charge of $15 and some random $2.50.

All from the current DMV websites "fee scedule"

Because I want one and it's my right as an American, dammit! /s

It's not that much more of a charge to have a vanity plate. I never had my plates peel on me, but have had to fail many cars for an inspection due to the defective laminate and being unable to read parts of the plate.

And before it gets mentioned, yes it does make your car easily identifiable, or makes you stick out more and draw more attention. When you drive a modified car, and a car thats not so common around here, your gonna stick out regardless.

Exactly. I see big lifted trucks driving around with "fuck biden" flags and bumper stickers, but we can't have vanity plates because it might closely resemble a bad word.

I'm still in RI. And I don't have much respect for this state or how it's run. But when you don't know anything else.... mild case of Stockholm Syndome? Small joke.

There was a big law suit involving a dude and his tesla. He got a vanity plate that says "FKGAS". A bunch of Karen's and Kevin's (is that the equivalent to a male karen?) Got butt hurt over it, took him to court, and because this guy has money to fight it he did and won.

Now none of us can have vanity plates. It's been years since they took the option away.

My wife's car had extended coverage. Every time it went into the shop for maintenance they would put a new one on, and as soon as she got home id take it off.cAfter the 3rd time I took them off right in the parking lot, went back inside and handed them to the manager. They never put them on again after that.

I've considered registering my older car in Vermont for that and other reasons. Grew up on the CT line, wouldn't mind living over in that area of CT.

Exactly. I'm willing to pay for 2 of them.

I'm not a fan of the new design. Glad I get to keep my hybrid green wave plate.... for now.

I laugh every time I have to pull one of those badges off the license plate for an inspection. I leave it in the cup holder when I'm done. Can't have anything obstructing your plate, including plate frames that every dealership puts on the vehicles they sell.

It is insanity. They are missing out on millions in revenue. All over non sense. I have 2 cars waiting for vanity plates.

It has been years for me, but when I was in a similar situation I went to my local YMCA and did my community service hours there.

re·tal·i·a·tion:

the action of harming someone because they have harmed oneself; revenge.

Cops don't give a shit about "petty" things like that. Worse thing you could have done is reported it to the cops. Now when the driver who got hit goes for retaliation, they are gonna be at the top of the list to get questioned.

Solve your own problems because the cops won't.

I don't get your opposite view point tho? You don't want RI to have vanity plates? You don't like bad words? You don't like wasting money on material things as a vanity plate?

As far as I know they only redesigned the generic plates. But I will do my best to keep my green wave plate and not switch to the new style. If they have a new green wave I'll be all about it.

I like my green wave and don't want to give it up.

Can't have a plate with a slightly bad word on it, but hell take a ride to Foster/ Glocester and you will see trucks with Trump stickers flying flags that say "FUCK BIDEN"

I don't think RI has been rear only for a long time, except for certain plates, motorcycle, trailer, dealer, and transporter plates all require only 1 read facing plate.

You really love trolling this thread don't you?

So are a lot of things we waste money on in our life.

You won't hear back either. Low number digit plates people.hold onto like gold. My aunt has a 4 digit plate that been in her family a long time.

My car already stands out. When I drive by, people notice my car. A license plate won't make a difference at this point.

I've heard it my whole life, these flashy cars make you stand out, why are you wasting money on your cars?

Plus a license plate is a unique identifier to every vehicle, whether it be vanity or not. No one else will have your same plate.
