    I think it is the strong Car manufacturing companies, Mercedes Benz, BMW, and now Volvo, plus their Dealer lobbyists that keep this giant loophole. Sadly it is a very regressive tax that works for the middle class and above but hurts the rest of the folks. They pay the full $500 on a used car for a little less than $10,000. but it is a gift to the Ferrari and Porsche buyers.

      My Thunderbird has VA 55 and the Explorer has VA195, both were my Attack Squadrons.
      I tried to go for CVA14 and CVA31, both were my aircraft carriers, no luck.

      I tried ME262 and it worked.
      It is ordered for the VW Passat but I am thinking making a switch and it needs to go on the Tbird.

      P.S.1 Nebraska specialty plates have 5 symbols/letters even if one of them is a space.
      P.S.2 I visited the Willy Messerschmitt museum and saw one of the 5 USA made reproduction ME262's.
      Jet engines were general Electric J-85.
      Speed max was set to 565 MPH for safety reasons.

      My favorite two planes are Saab j29 ”Tunnan” and me262 . p51 Mustang and spitfire are also verry nice
      I Started out with nothing and I still got most of it left

        Fredrik, it looks like we both like famous airplanes.

        I will send photos when I get the new ME262 plate.
        photo follows. Stand by.

        You can get one of these baseball caps when you visit the Willy Messerschmitt Museum at the Manching Air Base (by Ingolstadt Germany).
        It is within walking distance where I used to live for a while, after the war.

        P.S. Don't forget to take pictures of the ME-262 and the ME-109.
        At times they were only open one Friday each month.
        It is a high security base. There were US and German pilots flying planes there.

                  Did I forget to add a picture of ME262

                  ME262-Stormbird-640.jpg

                  The 2015 Passat Diesel has the Jet Attack Squadron VA 55 license plate, in honor of my Bohemian squadron commander, Navy Captain Hank Urban (short for Urbanek).
                  Interned at Arlington National Cemetery

                  The 2002 Tbird ME262 plate is to commemorate Major Walter Nowotny, squadron commander (258 victories) of the worlds first Jet Fighter Squadron 007.
                  Interned at the Vienna Central cemetery.

                  Both squadron commanders had ancestry as Czech Bohemian/Austrian.

                  Hermann Siegl German Bohemian

                  P.S. I do not know where to find out aerial victories of US Navy pilots.

                    Fredrik,
                    SAQ Grimeton Radio Station is kaput.

                    Can you go fix it for them?
                    It may be hard to get parts for a 99 year old radio transmitter that is just a giant Thunderbird Alternator.

                            Nice plates, guys! Mine is generic, I figure that the Thunderbird emblem on the trunk lid will have to send the message!

                            Fredrik, my favorite is the P51, I always liked the lines -and the sound, there used to be a guy here who owned one and would fly it periodically around the area.

                            Nice hat, Hermann!

                              I have had the same license plate in 2 different states, 1st in Oklahoma and now in Arkansas.

                              15AGAIN
                              The plate number comes for the fact that I was 15 when the 55's came out and I could not buy one, so the 2002 made me 15again.
