with a registered car in NY MUST do. I have no issue with replacing them every 10 yrs or so to keep them in good enough condition to be easily read but this charge is going to hurt the poor car owners, who are struggling with all of the requirements NY has for car owners, the most.

Personally I think the orange and navy blue is ugly (unless you have a navy blue or orange car) so I won't miss them. I voted for the one that won so of course I'm happy enough with the new design from an aesthetic POV. Since we're going to be paying for new plates anyway I think I'll check out the extra cost to go back to personalised ones. At least we'll be able to remember it. :-D
