    Apparently in some states you have to return old plates to the DMV, but when I got my new plates they didn't say a word about anything like that. Do I have to do something specific with them here in Texas or can I just chunk them in the trash?

    You're supposed to give them to college students as "decorations."

    I actually asked somebody to send me their old license plates from Texas several years ago and they did. I hung them on a wall in a spare bedroom as decor.

    Hang them on the wall of your garage.

    Damn apartment living...a lack of garage makes them useless. ;)

    Thanks for the feedback. It's good to know I haven't been breaking the law by not turning them in...

    That's what I'm going to do after I paint the walls black and purchase a few oompa-loompas.

    Don't forget the blacklight, the lava lamp, and the felt wall hanging of dogs shooting pool! :D

    You could always sharpen the edge and use it as a dust pan for men.

    When your wife asks where the dust pan is, you can respond by saying that you only use the man pan.

    She will be impressed.

    I like to throw mine in the mississippi and hope that it ends up in the belly of a tiger shark caught in Nantucket waters.
