More Than Just Sunshine: A Sea of Specialty Plates
Florida boasts a mind-boggling number of specialty license plates. We're talking hundreds, folks! There's a plate for everything from your alma mater (University of Florida Gators? Check. Florida State Seminoles? You bet!) to your favorite cause (Save the Manatee? Absolutely. Support Public Radio? Why not?).
Love a good craft beer? Sip in style with a brewery plate. Feeling fancy? Support the arts with a plate that screams "cultured driver." The list goes on and on, like a bad dad joke. There's even a "Choose Life" plate, which, let's be honest, is probably a good idea considering some of the driving you see on the Sunshine State's highways.
Beyond the Rainbow: Standard Plates and Personalization
But wait, there's more! Florida offers the standard orange blossom plate, a classic that says, "Hey, I drive in Florida." Feeling a little more adventurous? You can personalize your standard plate with a custom message (as long as it's G-rated, of course. This isn't Vegas, baby!).
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Pro Tip: If you go the personalized route, choose wisely. Remember, that message is following you wherever you roam. "BEACHBUM" might be cute on the first day, but it loses its luster after the third parking ticket.
So, How Many Plates Are There, Really?
Here's the thing: The exact number is a moving target. New plates are constantly being introduced, while others fade into retirement (we're looking at you, "Kids Tag"). The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles does its best to keep track, but it's like counting fireflies on a hot summer night.
The safe bet? There are enough Florida license plates to make your head spin and express your unique personality.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
