Embossed as in, raised? I think most all states are moving away from it: cheaper to produce and replace. My last year in MI (2009) the plates were still raised. I read that next year, MI is getting 2 new, screened plates.

"There is currently no active recall for the cars, but the dealers should know what's up if you tell them about the issue."

Forget those A-10s, they're cool and all but the above pic also has three of one of my favorite planes, the C-17 Globemaster. Ever since I (and 500 other people) walked through one at an air show, it's always tickled my fancy to see that giant bird anywhere.

False assumption - dogs break out of secure backyards all the time. The fact that she was reunited with the owners leads me to think she was microchipped and/or the owners were actively looking for her, meaning responsible.

I love the finger snap mid-turn. Such style. Take lessons, Transporter.

Not once but twice! Why didn't the heroine fight back, she's a heroine after all!

Never been to a 3pm all-you-can-eat at the airport strip joint? Food is food.

I'd still send a picture anyways. Doubt that they're getting many viable applicants.

Never mind, forgot that Desmond trapped himself in amber to free Peter.

I haven't seen the future episode from last season in a while so I don't remember Desmond's character's name, but was the dead body in the rebel basement supposed to be him? If it was, Etta just kinda brushes past that, I thought in that previous episode they were pretty good friends? I was wondering if he would…

Why haven't any other hybrids been able to go full-electric like this? He doesn't look like he's coaxing and being gentle with the gas pedal at all, just straight driving in full-electric mode.

They should have just set it in Detroit as well. Then the whole "Wolverines" thing would make more sense.

MW2's invasion plot was based on the original Red Dawn, so we've come full circle. One stage was even called "Wolverine!"

What happens if those sunglasses are aimed a little higher, say chest level?

I'm just a bit surprised at how quickly this new standard update come out - the previous Texas plate lasted 9 years (space shuttle raised characters one) before the splotchy one. For the reasons they give (hard to read by LEO, colors clash, etc), you'd think they would have been weeded out during the selection…

"So if you knew about them, that probably said more about the places you frequented or the things you are interested than Japan."

Each county needs to exhaust their colorful plates first. There's a map on the TxDOT site which shows what counties have started issuing the new b/w plates. So if you request a replacement, there will be a fee and you may not get the new ones anyways. I'm planning to wait a year, they say within a year all cars…

Who says it's a Ford, and not the latest copy from BYD or Chery? You never know...

Yes that was my first visceral, vomit inducing gut impression as well.

I'm pretty sure I can walk into a men's room and never know who has a dong or not. WTF is going on in women's bathrooms where they apparently all get naked and compare?
