I’ve went out with this girl who was convinced that her not being to afford education, her debts, her lack of a career and her “high taxes” on 18k a year gross would all be solved by moving to Virginia where she has no connections, no friends and no potential :facepalm and if you guys think Arbor hill population is bad, wait till you meet some illigals (which are around 25% population of Texas iirc) I’ve had a guy HERE come in and try to order parts by speaking only in Spanish.

> [@PAINTING INTERIOR TRIM!!!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/painting-interior-trim/35593/37): > > Some people here actually have nice cars PJB. Why ruin the look of a nice car with a shitty looking license plate? The new NY ones have grown on me, but only on certain colors (like my black or white). You implying that I dont own a nice vehicle? My car might be a POS but Id like to think my truck is nice. Ive just never really cared much about license plates. To me the yellow ones are ugly and I kept the white ones but really I only kept the white ones because I wouldve had to pay for the yellow ones. No sense in giving the state money money than necessary. ---

If you hate the new yellow plates save up a few bucks for custom plates (not just the vanity plate but sports, causes, organizations, counties etc) and you can have the white background. Sounds a lot easier than moving to a different state. ---

No sense in giving the state money money than necessary. It was a joke. You’re going to pay either way eventually, so you’re only postponing the inevitable. It’s just a license plate in the end. ---

does anyone know how often NY changes plates? Like how many yrs from now will they come out with new plates or is there no set amount of time? ---

There’s no set time, the only reason they came out with the yellow/blue plates is because the “reflection at night” on the white/blue plates was “wearing off”…AKA, they just wanted to waste more money and take more money from residents. ---
