This is a new plate, thanks to WABA. I said I'd never pay extra $ for a specialty license plate, but I caved.

Not only caved....but caved early, judging from that LOW issue number!
Very cool. I'm hesitant to give up my blue heron, however. Hmmmm....Heron on a bike? Save the Chesapeake AND the cyclist??? Waddaya think?

You had to send in the paperwork to WABA and they held it till they got 25. I waited until my registration renewal came, since it was due within a few weeks, then sent the application to WABA, so I am kind of surprised I got such a low number.

Do you have to be a WABA member?
My renewal is due next weeknot enough time.
I'll get one next year for the jeep

I called, and they're going to e-mail me whether you have to be a member (when the guy running the program gets into the office), but the guy I talked to didn't think so.

I had just renewed mine when this one came, and it's not a problem to replace it. All you have to do is return the old tag to the DMV, which of course presents its own set of hassles.

Very cool.

And if I saw that low-number plate out on the road I would automatically assume some official or dignitary was driving.

I don't know if youhave to be a member, but you do have to get the paperwork through WABA

Ha! I can't imagine there are too many dignitaries who would drive a 10-year-old station wagon with bike and kayak racks on it, but I puffed up my chest just a bit when I read your comment!

You do have to be a WABA member. Here's the scoop.

Thanks.
I sent them an email but you're much faster

[Cataboo]

Very cool.

However, if youare ever driving drunk or erratically, everyone will definitely remember your license plate number so that they can call the police on you.

I cheaped out when it turned out you had to be a member. That just seemed lame.
