With the amount of Californians flocking here (including myself), I can understand that. My California license plates have not been well received out on the road.

Yeah, but who has time to buy a shotgun rack these days?

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

That's because y'all go too slow. In Texas, if all six wheels are touching the ground (note, I didn't say pavement), you are going too damn slow!

This is the best site out there for softball umpires. Welcome RGV!

As far as geography goes--I grew up in MD, lived in VA, PA, FL, CA, Italy, VA again, LA, and finally picked FL. I wasn't born here ... but I got here as soon as I could.

I think that is the only one on your list without a state income tax, isn't it?

BTW, who said you were grown up?

Right on both counts, Mike. Youth is wasted on the young ... but immaturity is forever!

Eh...if we are going to be technical here, I was born/raised in North Carolina, and have lived in many other places before settling in Texas.

Welpe,

do not keep that plate too long. down there in texas they like to give tickets to people who do not get a texas one within 30 days. they might just stop you and ask you.

pffft... as long as the out of state plate has not itself expired, they won't stop you for that; just be careful what you say if they stop you for anything else; and my experience is (I moved to TX from IA) they even ignore expired out of state plates. Just don't get a TX driver's license and try to keep your out of state plates; it'll be hard to explain that if you get stopped for speeding, etc. Otherwise, you "just moved". But, I even got away with having a TX DL and IA plates... told 'em it was my wife's car and SHE just joined me in TX! But, I wouldn't recommend that...

And, my daughter lives in the DFW metroplex and has been driving a car with MN plates for 6 years. My SIL just sold a car that had MN plates that he had been driving in TX for 3 years.
