Guess I’ll have to earn a set of party plates as a workaround. Do they even still do those?

I like my license plates like I like my women.
Black and yellow.

(I have the CA black plate reissues on two of my trucks and OG black plates on my car).

ETA: Funfact, CA black plates aren't really black, they are very, very dark brown. One of those things I can't unsee now that someone pointed it out to me.

I got the not as old as black but old school, original blue and yellow.  Same plate for 34 years .

Kinda seems like hard core liberals don't get elected governor either. Ted Strickland was pretty middle of the road, as far as Democrats go (especially modern ones).

To me, that's sort of Ohio in a nutshell. It's aggressively average.

Ted would have been a hard-core Republican in some states not named Ohio.  I had plenty of differences with him but he always made sure I had his cell number, just in case.  Yeah, I kept the Governor's personal cell number in my contacts.  He's still a friend but has gone way over the Woke line since he decided to cash in on that sweet sweet Beltway money.  

He was always good on guns.  That mortified many up state Democrats.  Now he's just another liberal in a sea of them.

I'll keep my old one especially since I have a brand new one I haven't used.
It'll be a long time before I need a new plate.

They change their plates way too often. This is like plants #7 that I can remember.

I remember when they were white with bright blue letters.

Why wrong? The Wrights flew at Kitty Hawk, but a lot of the stuff for their early planes were made in Dayton. A friend, and member here, owns a small machine from their bike shop, and likely made parts for planes.

Not to mention one of the best aviation museums in the world at WPAFB.

Ohio has more highway patrol officers than people. It's fear conditioning for them to always drive 5 under.

I seriously hate driving through that state.

@Gewehr98

Look at this picture of the first flight. He’s flying away from the camera, so what looks like the “tail” is actually in the front of their plane

Now look at the license plate and the plane that is flying a banner while flying. It’s backwards.

It's backwards.  It's supposed to be towing the banner, but the banner is attached to the front of the flyer.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the picture plates. There's too much going on.



I agree, and I was glad when Texas switched to the current standard plate.  Nice and simple.  Plenty of options at myplates.com if you want something fancier.

Yeah, Texas tried this about 10 years ago.



The printed "pretty background" plates, while ugly, did not play well with the burgeoning number of plate readers and cameras employed by all manner of official and unofficial entities. So they replaced that version with a simple white background and black character plates.



Black and white plate looks a ton better, but unfortunately it came around for a typical governmental reason.

Gross.

I was irritated when they went from the old white plates with blue lettering to the colorful scenic plate. I was glad they abandoned it for the current white plate. This one looks just as bad as the other one.

Holy shit this, I held a death grip on my old bicentennial plate during the dark days of the "Beautiful Ohio" plates.  Those were apparently designed my Ted Strickland's wife, so it looks like we need to keep our governor's wives out of the BMV design office.

Our current ones are fine and fairly simple at a glance so they're fine.  This new design is just awful, and I really hate that dumb "OhiO" logo they started using where they capitalize just the o's for some reason.

I wish we could go back to the days of two color plates.  Some color text on some other color background, and the state name in block lettering.

Old Colorado plates will always be my faves.

Unlike the little weasel Dewine.  I'd rather have the old version of Strickland back, and I think people not from OH don't grasp that he was better on guns than basically any republican governor we've had.
