"and the personalized license plate is ...." (A Follow-Up)
I finally got my personalized license plate order in last Monday .. Tex. DOT has made some changes since 1/1/08 of which I was unaware at the time of my original post asking for suggestions .. For one thing, they have eliminated the use of certain characters that they did before, such as the "-" and the "#" (a negative) .. on the plus side, (1) you can check availability of your potential plate online and then, if available (2) order and pay for it online (3) the plates are created by using some sort of laser process vs. stamping (which I guess is how they do it on regular plates?) so they have a pretty nice grade look to them (4) delivery time is only about 2 business weeks from date of order .. (5) an order can be placed all year long (vs. only during January-February before) (btw - the extra charge is $40 for personalized plates)
Of my choices, the only avaialable one under the new scheme was (and will be):
[ X 461LB ]
I plan on taking a pic of it on my car when it arrives for use as my new avatar on here ..
