In all my travels, I have never been to a state that has as much pride as Texas. We love our state, we love our people and we love our culture. We are creative, we have a conservative government in a state of many liberals, we have ocean front, desert, lush hills and proud mountains. We've got the hippies, millionaires, ranchers and yuppies.
We enjoy reminding outsiders that prior to joining the US, we were our own Republic and if you ask most Texans we will tell you that WE are the largest state... because if you melt all the ice in Alaska, there isn't much left. :o)
Also, we love our trucks. Most major truck makers have a "Lone Star Edition" or "Texas Truck". You don't see a "Cincinnati Edition" or a "Phoenix Truck" anywhere.
So, given all of these things... how is it that we have "voted" on the ugliest license plate?? Look at this thing...

Earlier this year, Texans were allowed to vote on the next design. Here were the other choices:
And our current plate:
Granted none of them were really that great, but I believe they represent more of what Texas has to offer. I want to know WHO voted for the winner?? According to the Texas Department of Transportation, 455,878 of you! Well, not a single person I have talked to were a part of that number. I certainly wasn't. Thank goodness my car is fairly new and I won't have to get these plates any time soon.
Think what you want... its my Blog, so I say... Seriously???

Eh, it's not that bad! At least it's interesting. MA has one of the dullest plates ever....and it never changes! The most interesting thing that's happened (and this was previous to me living here) is that they changed the lettering from green to red. Real excitement, huh?

I DID NOT vote for that one. It was my least favorite. Did they forget the saying "Less is More"?!! It looks liek a 2 years designed it with Crayons and spray paint. Haha
ICK. It looks like MC Hammer designed that plate.
Texas: Can't touch this.
I voted for the first one on your blog, because it looked like the old simple one we used to have. The new plate looks like a nice partner to our ugly new driver's licenses.
Of course, none of them could rival the Obama plate...
Um .. i missed the memo that gave me a vote, but I think it could have been worse. It's certainly not as bad as some of the other states out there! I would have loved to see the bluebonnet one make the cut, thoug! :)
Ok..I'm probably in the minority here, but I TOTALLY voted for that one and love it! I think the others are completely hideous...except for the blue bonnet one. Just my little opinion... luv ya Amy! :)
