I’m currently in the process of registering my car in NY State after moving from Massachusetts which has nowhere near the amount of options as New York does.

I drive like I have a Death Wish and it seems  everyone else around here does also. 

So it's time that I get rid of these Mass plates that stick out like a sore thumb and make everyone yell

 “ WOW ,That guy cut me off!!!! LOOK! Massachusetts plates.. of course”
