Do they still allow vanity plates? Lord knows when I was there they did. I had one of those hideous things on the front of my truck that had some lovey dovey crap on it for my gf at the time. 2 palm trees with a sunset. God I was an idiot. A Confederate flag would have been a better choice!

DeleteYeah that's what I mean. I'm in SE Okla now. I used to live in Fayetteville. I was a FF at Bonnie Doone station. Moved to Lumberton for a year after that and then back to Texas, then here 9 years ago. I know my way around those parts pretty good.

DeleteLol! Yeah I have gypsy blood I think. I was in Texas for a long time though. Moved out of NC in 99. Texas until 2012.
