Must do BLACK stripes.....if you are gonna go funny...play up the school bus look in a funny way.... IMO get s plate as fast as you can... In NH, vanity plates were discontinued due to a recent court case about what constitutes a "offensive" plate....guy took state to court over a "pigs-lie" or "cops-lie" plate....said it was not offensive but a fact...lol...then sued...so till the state finds a better way to determine if a plate is offensive, no vanity plates...
