Even though I was awarded a few BSMs over the course of my career, I chose not to get a vanity plate. Instead, I taped an AAM to my license plate and like to park next to someone who has a vanity plate. It gets lots of looks. LOL.

Some people like to have vanity plates while others like to start threads that have absolutley no social redeeming value.
So would your post be a "Vanity Post"?

Might want to check the state laws on your license plate stunt - unauthorized modification of license plates (e.g., adding that AAM) can get you in trouble.
And as Pete said.

What's your point? Is it because you think the AAM trumps a BSM? I'm confused.:confused:
Never mind. I just lost interest.

Nope.. just prefer the Colorado Tag that says "U.S. Army Special Forces" on it..
That trumps a BSM in my book.

Pretty much.;)

I wish NC would approve those. With all of the SF active and retired in the area, they could get the 300 initial plates with no problem. Now that they have approved the "Blue Knights" motorcycle plates (the first "vanity" motorcycle tags in the state), they may be more likely to look at another such request.

New York has an Airborne license plate with the wings on it, among other more common military service plates (PH, Korea Vet, WWII Vet, MoH, USMC and ARNG, off the top of my head).

You would think that, wouldn't you?
But the SFA tried and could not get the minimum.

One thing about Vanity Plates - they cost more each and every year you have them. Money that goes to the state.
OK - I admit, I have one vanity plate for my fleet of five vehicles. Retired Army on the Green Beast. The rest are regular plates.
Now if the state set it up where that money could be disignated to an organization................
Right now vanity for giving extra money to the state.
PS - I don't think the SFA's effort was all that well diseminated. I didn't hear of it until it was over - I think.

I wonder if anyone has more plates than Colorado. They have 31 military plates.

plus maybe 60 more of various types.

I had heard that Florida had most vanity plates available, not sure if that's still true. Florida has 121 available choices.
Money from the 'extra' fee is directed to the charity assigned to that speciality plate. Surprised that some states don't list where those monies are going. :rolleyes:

I was going to write that my favorite vanity plate was observed on a mini-van in Northern Virginia. The plate read Tot Rod. That was until you posted a picture of yours.

Florida has 119.

There's a US Paratroopers plate, but none for SF.

In Florida the fees for special plates go to organizations not the state. IE: a university scholarship fund.

And just to demonstrate Florida's diversity a slideshow of some of the most unique-mild profanity and a lot of butt ...

I apologize for rehashing a thread that is more than a couple days old, but I believe Virginia has overtaken them. Virginia offers 46 military plates, 90 college plates and over 100 "others", such as Washington Redskins, Appalachian Trail and cities such as Fairfax and Virginia Beach.
This is the Special Forces Association plate.

Snake, I like the tow cover too, it would be interesting to see the reaction of that Plate with cab drivers in NYC.
There's a multitude of Veteran plate designs available for Alaska.

The nice thing is that it's a one time $30 fee for a vanity plate.
Not so much for Nevada. Branch, and Army Airborne are the only options here.
Couple that with on average $100 for a vanity plate, with a recurring cost keeping it... not nearly worth it, unless you're a combat veteran or disabled veteran and use your status for a free plate for your vehicle.
An example of an Alaska veterans plate, attached ;)
