I think they've gone WAAAAAAY overboard on the plates. Red Grapefruit? Cotton Bolls? Florida Gators?

I guess they'll put anything on a plate if it means an extra $30.

That's why!!!!!!!! You just figured it out, it's because of mission control in Houston! It makes sense now! I didn't understand why there was a shuttle, thanks Yak!

Yeah there are way too many lame plate designs... Did you see the "smile Texas style"? Haha and the sad thing is I saw that on the road, I'd be so embarrassed to drive out of state with that thing, heck driving around town with it! I really do like the Columbia memorial plate, can't wait to get it! Just waiting for a move to a house in about a week so I can use the new address, can't wait to take off these new standards...
