gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 So I joined the up to date world mid last year and went from a 1959 Morris Utility to now owning a 2012 Jeep Patriot, all the mod cons, aircon power steering, automatic trans and so on, a vast difference from my old ute. Managed to get it cheap through a friend who's mother had passed away earlier last year and he just didn't want to see the car any longer, only 60,000 on the clock and still smells new (she didn't pass away in the car if you are thinking that) . Anyway I have some medical issues so money is tight but I wanted to change the license plate to something a little more in line with my hobby. Our local licensing centre (DMV to you US guys) has lots of combinations for private plates, different words, numbers, colours but prices start at $400 and go upwards. OK so a tad out of my price range, then I noticed the state plates had just reached 1GLS, so I came up with a combination that would work and been stalking the license centre since, as you can't reserve state plates for some stupid reason. This morning was my 15th visit and YES that combination was finally available, but I had to drive to another centre to get them, ok another 35 minute drive then another 40 minute wait in queue but these only cost $25 compared to the other $400 and upwards. So I'm a GML and I'm in the 501st (the 1 in front is state required) I know BIG DEAL right it probably doesn't mean much to a lot of you but I'm chuffed and it was cheap So anyone else have a Star Wars / Legion inspired vehicle license plate??????? 2 Quote

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 SuhWEET! Looks as if your stalking persistence paid off! Do they let you keep your plates permanently? The state of Florida requires you to change them out every so often. Quote

You can keep them as long as they are on a vehicle and they can be swapped to other vehicles, or until your not a GML any longer Quote
Ripper_L[Admin] Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 let's hope you stay GML for a while We got garrison license plate frames: (I got a different number, referring to when I bought my car.) 2 Quote
A.J. Hamler[TK] Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 Just moved from West Virginia to Pennsylvania this past year, and as a reward for all the hassle of moving I got this plate. Before that, I belonged to a different franchise. 3 Quote
