Soooo who else is getting one? I love the look, I was expecting just a plain white plate so this was a pleasant surprise.

@zojaveAmy's Ti pictured, she helped organize the petition to the DOT. I love how the design turned out as well.

I'm patiently reloading the DMV site waiting for it to be available.

Damn, looks like i'll be refreshing for awhile.  I thought it was 10/1 for some reason.

Can I get one in a collector plate?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.

Took the OM-D and Sigma mini-wide along for this weekend's climbing adventure.

I scrambled up the talus on the west bluff to a boulder problem called Super Slab, explored around the base of the prospect point area, then climbed Wiessner's Chimney. The top of Wiessner Wall is one of the best views of the lake that I've found so far. I'll have to get up there with a wide-angle in the next week or two when the colors get a bit better.

Dude paddle boarding with the doggos. Fog really lingered today.

[YoungCR]

I really missing being so close to that area.

Thief's thieving?  Better ask the OEM's to add items that will inevitably raise the cost of vehicles and replacement parts.  Where the fuck is the common sense?  Makes too much sense to root cause the problem and focus on reducing theft when we can just make the consumer pay more for a deterrent that will be defeatedly sooner than later.

It’s like the big rental van companies putting metal cages around the cat....because the cutting tools only work to remove the cats and not the metal cages lol

Well I had a epic day yesterday. I discovered some roads in Wisconsin that I would never imagine existed. Im talking switchbacks, massive elevation changes, and hairpins. Black ribbons of glory. A few of the roads were not in ideal condition, but there were so many that had FRESH blacktop I was amazed. I drove through the drift-less area from Eu Claire, all the way to Sun Prairie just west of 94. It took me about 8 hours of driving as I was doubling back and taking roads that I couldn't hit. I marked a bunch of them that I felt were worthy of a future cruise. Im likely going to go back this weekend and verify I solid route as I will be staging a video for two of my friends cars in the area.

Sounds about right. If you're looking for a legit switchback, there's one by Devil's Lake. I don't remember it being particularly photogenic, but there's plenty of rubber on the road from the fuckbois.

It's on street view as well.

And then there's the uncropped, unedited candid shot, fired off at random, that turns out better than everything else you did all day:

We did that quite a few years ago, @straight6pwr has shots possibly of us. I'm all for a driving tour up there again.

I think we took this on the cruise one year.
 

@KaiserRolls Yea I was in that area but didn’t take the cut, I was just finding a bunch of roads off the beaten path. Cut through wildcat state park too.
