Montana, takes it to a whole new level. For a population about the same as Manitoba it's impressive the amount of customization they have. I count 14 separate categories of designs and you have multiple choices within each category. I'd love it if Alberta did something like this.

They had well over 300 different ones at one point. Some were pretty terrible and tough to read but lots of good ones. Virginia is another state with a ton.

Sure, this comes out a week after i finally put a sticker (for the first time) on the second plate for the personalized plate I first got about 20 years ago.

I could have been able to use a plate with no stickers on it.

No more stickers?? Boo. I wanted to see how thick I could go before the car wash started ripping them off.

Has anybody ever tried to remove the stickers? My concern is driving through some other province or state a few years down the road, and they see that the stickers on the plate as being expired. Could end up being a bit of a hassle trying to explain that the plate shows as expired, but the registration isn't.

I take mine off quite often. Exacto knife to get under, they come off pretty easy once brittle after a few years.

Lost some paint off the plate though.

I used GooGone to get rid of the remaining adhesive too. I had enough gunk build-up on my plate that I actually took some billet aluminum polish to the plate with a shop rag and now the plate looks new again (again less some of the paint near the stickers where the knife hit it).

Honestly though.

Stink eye from the moment you walk in

At AMA its like every one is just assumed to be a criminal.

Only once in a blue moon do I get a clerk that looks happy to serve me.

Everyone is miserable. Always.

Things that are incredibly simple require The Manager. They're the only ones who can do it. And they're busy.

I have to go in and file Provincial Corporate Registrations for my companies and every time its a nightmare.

Have you ever seen a Provincial Corporate Annual Report? Its 1-page that declares that 'nothing has changed' any monkey should be able to do this.

Nope. Only Brenda who has been here for 31 Years can figure this out and shes on her 12th smoke break this hour. You make her come back from that break early and she'll put that cigarette out on your hand. She's a real sweetheart.

Probably stupid question but if you're blessed with a six digit plate can you order a replacement or do you have to move to a new number?
