Illinois is worse. Not only do they have a bizzilion license plates
of the normal style (20 college plates, about that many military
plates, masons, environment, don't forget to have a mammogram, bass
fishers, yadda yadda), they do let people design and make their own
plates. Sort of. Special event organizers can design and sell
plates for their events, so there are things like the "Podunk
Founder's Day parade" license plates. The Sec. of State's office has
to approve the design, but takes no part in their sale or production.
(You have to have a valid set of normal plates; don't have to display
them, just have them.) They're only valid for a couple months around
the event, but that doesn't stop people from leaving them on. There
are about 100 or so different types each year.
