I feel your pain, my husband is also a Longhorn. We are always arguing over the proper shade of orange. Whoever wins on Saturday gets to keep the flag out all week. Luckily, it's been the right flag for awhile :)

And mine is a Dawg...we have duplicates of all our tailgating stuff - one set in red and black - one ☝️ in orange & white. We take our motor coach to 3 games each and put everything out when we play each other!

Last year in Athens was a blast ---- and the year before that in Knoxville was cool, too! 😎

Shes become a pretty solid REAL UT fan. Heck, she nearly knocked out a UF fan that threw a beer bottle at her first REAL UT game in 2001.

I just wonder what would happen if the REAL UT played the FAKE UT in FB.

I know someone that has a "House Divided" tag on the front of their vehicle that has Gators and Vols. Wife is the Vol fan.

Hey I married a gator and it's actually fun, better than having a wife or gf who just likes what you like to make you happy, atleast she's intelligent and actually understands football unlike some of VN.

Most northern states still have 2 plates. The only places I've seen 1 plate is the south(east).

I was going to say the same thing. Every time I visit family in TN and NC I see 1 plate but up in Jersey it's 2. But then again New Jersey is one of the most corrupt states in America and they want every single dime they can get out of you.

Arizona and New Mexico only require one.

Along with a handful of northern and mid-western states.

It's big in the South, sure. But other places, too.

Think some of it is that it's easier for tolls and cameras

(Though of course they should be able to get a good reading odd of just the back plate, right? But I'm not an expert)

It's called revenue. In OH you MUST buy two plates but if your vehicle does not have a front plate mount from the factory, you don't have to use it. In fact, you won't get stopped for no front plate but will get cited if you have a holder and don't have it mounted. When the cops could care less if you have two but you have to buy them, it's revenue....period.

I don't think it's about money at all. In fact, the states requiring two plates may not be making as much net revenue as the states that only require one plate.

Ohio, the state you mentioned, charges $34.50 for vehicle registration, including (2) new plates.

Tennessee charges $33.25 for vehicle registration including (1) new plate.

So it clearly ain't about all the "extra money" a second plate brings in.

The materials, labor, shipping, etc. may just be $1.25 for that second plate, but I kinda doubt it. Which means all other things being equal, Tennessee is racking in more net revenue per vehicle registered.

What's Ohio's sales tax? TN is pretty high at 9.5%

No idea, sure it could be googled as easily as I'm googling the info about their and other state DMV fees.

When I lived in NY it was like $54 for 2 years (2 plates).

Sales tax of 7%

Alaska was $180 for 2 years (there about). No sales tax or income tax though

It also depends on how states bring in most of their revenue. Like NH doesn't have a sales tax, so other taxes are much higher such as property taxes ($4,000 annually).

Also, the counties can be the real expensive part too. Way back in the early 80's the wheel tax was $35 per vehicle for Lincoln/Franklin counties. Now it is probably over $100 but that is a major source of school funds.

I saw a tag in the way to church yesterday morning that was a house divided Tennessee /Florida.

6.25 and the plates are printed plastic anymore. I think TN's were metal when I left.

Unforced laws are revenue producers.

Another perspective to show that doesn't make sense:

State DMVs are monopolies, as the ONLY places you can get tags for your car in each state. Whatever they charge, they can charge it whether for 1 plate or 2. Ohio's state government could easily amend the law to require only one plate without changing the registration fee at all. Monopoly.

So their decision to require that you get 2 plates isn't about the revenue; it's for some other reason(s).

p.s. Yankee, see what you started? This has nothing to do with that goofy Gators/Vols license plate! :)
