Really. Utah has special license plates for Realtors?

[boomerang]

not outraged, I just dont understand why a profession. whats next the local hair stylist of cost cutters local #4 gets a special plate as well?

Well, I assume those plates have an extra cost associated with them. That's how it's done here. If so, what's the big deal?

Hey, I clicked on the link. They do have an extra cost.

Vehicle owners must pay an annual $30 contribution fee for the plate in addition to all other fees due when the plate is issued. A majority of the funds will go directly to the Utah Association of REALTORS® Housing Opportunity Fund (UARHOF) where the money will be given to organizations that help people with severe housing needs.

Sounds like it's going to a good cause versus into the state's coffers.

WTF century are you living in? There might have been a time when HAM radio operators provided a useful emergency service and there was a time when ambulances were pulled by horses. And those two times were the same time. When the shit hits the fan, when earthquakes strike, when tsunamis break nuclear plants, when super-hurricanes destroy New Orleans everyone still has cell phone service.

Really? I thought that the cell phone networks went down during Katrina.

Most cell towers have generator backup now, but even that isn't helpful if you can't get to the towers to refuel them.

thanks.

why do you have to be a dick all the time?

I always assumed it's because he has to continually convince himself that he's better than everyone else. That's just a guess though.

I like your version better. :thumbsup: Oh and bonus points for spelling "deceive" correctly. You're one awesome dude. :wub:

Thanks but I usually can't spell worth a crap. I do remember "i before e except after c."

Realtors drive and park at all kinds of vacant/for sale houses. Id think it would help to reduce mistaken identity problems ...

I know some rules to get a plate design are simple as basic as have the design screened then get x number of people to pledge to buy. And that buy number isn't particular high.

I always remember that one too. But Firefox tells me when I spell something wrong. But I do seem to have developed issues with the proper use of 'their' and 'there' which I find a bit disturbing. I've almost cured myself of using 'it's' when I needed to use 'its'. And to think I was always the spelling bee champ in grade school...

Sons of Confederate veterans must be pretty old at this point. Like, pushing 100 at least. If a Confederate veteran was 12 years old when the war ended in 1865, and had a son when he was 70 years old in 1923, that son would be 92 years old in 1915.

Your numbers don't seem to add up.


ps: I know you meant 2015 instead of 1915.

And it is Sons of ... which could be great great great grand SONS.

Yep, money for the state. Advertising for the realtor. I noticed big rigs on the freeway with license plates that had their companies name on them. Not a bracket or trim, the actual plate.

Yeah, I know that UPS has custom plates for their cross-country trucks with the logo.

Really? Because when I was there, cell phone service was a major problem for a lot of towns.
