I forgot to mention this the other day – but I was quite amused when I saw a Pennsylvania license plate while in Boston … they had the state’s URL on the bottom of the plate. Because you know, I’ll be sure to visit their site while driving down the Mass Pike.
Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of it, which is funny because as Jennifer pointed out, I was taking pictures of everything. Hey, never know what you might want a picture of later…
Edited: Mike was kind enough to post a picture of the plate with his comment. So go to the comments to check it out, and while you’re there feel free to share what you think about it…

How cheesy is that? “www.state.pa.us”. They were so proud of being the first state with the URL on the plate. Ho hum. I almost got a custom plate just so I wouldn’t have that ugliness on my car. But then I realized I didn’t care enough.
There it is!!! Thanks for posting the picture for me, Mike! I was cracking up when I saw that. Too funny.
Oh c’mon now mike, you’re just glad to be a part of the cool Philadelphia crowd, admit it. I miss my zoo wildlife plate though. This new .com plate sucks!
Actually, I said you were taking pictures of everything uncontrollably! 😉 (just kidding!) hehehe. So glad you did… ’cause I got copies of them too!!
Gee, there’s a website for the state? *insert fits of sarcasm*
Christine, I’m glad you’re back, and can’t wait to see the pics!
Oh, Pennsylvania’s had that for a long time! I don’t know if there are any other states with URLs on their plates, but Virginia has one proclaiming the state the “Internet C@pital” – I have no idea why. (There are actually almost 200 plates for Virginia, and you can create your own online. Oh boy!)
Virginia probably claims that since that’s where “Mae East” is located at – that’s why there are (were) so many internet companies in the Herndon/Richmond area – PSINet, WorldCom, AOL and more. Ahhhh, I remember the big days of PSI…
Uh. Maybe the government of PA is proud of the plate, but everyone I know who lives here REALLY REALLY HATES IT. I live in the middle of PA, have for about 15 years now, and I’d be so so so glad to have the old ‘You’ve got a friend in Pennsylvania’ plates back. I hated those, too, but they were beautiful compared to this awfully-colored monstrosity with the stupid website on the bottom of it.
*kick* Stupid Tom Ridge. *kick kick*
