I would suggest all GNU/Linux (or Linux — call it what you want) advocates to look into this in your state. When you get down to it, the $40 extra a year comes out to less than $4 a month. Skip a sandwich once a month and you can afford it.
California has seven letters available; some states, like Texas, have six. So whlie I have GNU LNUX in California, California drivers can get LNUX ROX, TUX 1, etc. Be creative. We’ll know what you mean.
See you on the road.

Unfortunately, the owner was the victim of a capital crime about a year later. His car (and plate) made the evening news when they found it abandoned just days before his body turned up.
On a completely sordid note, I guess that means the plate is up for grabs again.
That’s a good plate, Al.
