PERSONAL PLATES i INEXPENSIVE AND Personalized license plates at Cox seemed to be the hottest thing on four wheels this year. From Vid Kid to Cox 85 , anything and everything could be found in the student parking lots. Specialized plates were a way to identify friends, and could also be extremely helpful on Friday nights after a football game or basketball game. Status symbols have changed from designer jeans to designer li- cense plates. Personalized license plates signify ownership and it gives you a glimpse into the owner's lifestyle. In order to get a personalized plate, you must go to the DMV, fill out a form, and pick your three fa- vorite choices. Next, your applica- tion is put through a computer. If your choices have already been used, you must pick again. It costs five dollars to get your plates changed and ten dollars yearly. You then receive your plates in the mail two to three months later. Camille Davis, owner of a per- sonalized plate, sarcastically re- marked, Paranoid of losing my car in a maze of parked automo- biles, a personalized plate expedit- ed the location process of my transporting apparatus.
