    if you click on the attachment, they said it's a combination of major cities' skylines so my guess would be a part of dallas is in there. NO THANKS!!!

    Please show me where Houston is represented on there. I simply don't see it. Dallas' skyline, however, is obvious on the plate.

    it looks like a composite of several cities - the worlds fair hemisphere in s.a., one of the more noticeable buildings in austin (w/ the steps) and the orb thing from dallas.

    i dont recognize any houston buildings though - DISS!

    i voted for the 'my texas' - im used to it.

    traditional texas - looks like the letterhead for a cheap steakhouse chain crossed w/ a lone star beer label.
    natural texas - its a pretty licence plate, but thats the problem...its pretty. texas deserves something more manly. we dont need any oklahomos laughing at our plates.
    lone star texas - of the new ones, i like this one the best, but i think it would look better w/out the little crayon flag in the top left corner.
    new texas - kind of cool - it actually should have been called 'classic texas' - kind of has a vintage style to it. i cant vote for anything that has dallas in it though.

    Is it me, or is Houston only represented on New Texas by Minute Maid Park?

    That'll be 8 million dollars. Will that be cash, credit, or oil money?

    I couldn't decide between New Texas or Lone Star Texas...
    ... until I thought that I would have a piece of Dallas on my car. Lone Star it is. ;)

    Traditional Texas is the "cleanest" design, so I went with that.

    Houston got left off cause it's not distinctive...

    Dallas has the tower with the ball. San Antonio has that whatever it is. Austin has the capital. Houston has what, the Transco Tower?
