What's the hottest thing for cars since CB radios? ITMFA license plates, of course! Readers have sent in photos of their ITMFA plates on cars in North Carolina and Virginia, and I'm still waiting to hear back from my DMV about my request for ITMFA plates. But one person lucky enough to be issued ITMFA plates—Rob in New York—is getting grief from the authorities!

Hey Dan,

So just more than two months after I received and proudly mounted my ITMFA plates on my VW bus, I got a letter yesterday from the State Department of Motor Vehicles. It stated in part that my request for ITMFA was being denied as being inappropriate. It went on to say that they were reinstating my old plates and they enclosed a new registration. Well, I had already returned my old plates to be destroyed, and I love the new ones (New York uses a front plate as well as one in back) so I have decided to stay the coarse and continue to use my ITMFA plates. Hope no one else has had such a problem, but it shows that people are taking notice. Keep up the good work,

Rob

Thanks for sharing, Rob! And I must say that your VW bus looks almost as good in those ITMFA plates as you do in your anti-Bush t-shirt...

So has anyone else run into the same problem? Are people being denied ITMFA plates? Let me know. And in the meantime, remember... they may be able to make us take ITMFA off our cars, but can't make us take ITMFA off our dogs...

Scout is looking forward to 2008 or Bush's impeachment, whichever comes first...
