"DARE" License Plates - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Imo, this is just akin to a big sign on your bumper that says: "Be suspicious of me, I probably partake in teh pot-smoking".

It just seems to me that all the Dare plates you see are always on modded/tinted cars being driven by 18-30 year old males, who aestetically fit the stereotype of "druggies" or "potheads".

Anyone else ever get this feeling?

I think you just opened a can of worms with this one.

*puts flame suit on*

Scapegoat · 08-12-2008, 02:46 PM

or it could be they get it because it gives a discount to your insurance, and that age range usually needs as much help as they can get...

your sig is lame, if you didn't care... you wouldn't be telling everyone...

Spocknasty · 08-12-2008, 02:49 PM

Which looks better...hmm....hmmmm

poisonivory · 08-12-2008, 02:53 PM

the dare plates do look way better, especially on black cars. However, I believe if a driver with a dare plate on their car gets caught with drugs, the punishment is worse than normal, someone correct me if that's not accurate.

Spocknasty · 08-12-2008, 02:54 PM

^ Hahaha

But officer, I thought it stands for dumbass always revving engine!?

Um NO! I wish I had one for when I get back to the States and throw it on instead of my ugly ass PA plate. I tried to buy one but that was scragged! Yeah im drunk?

Going along the same lines of your sig... If we cared about your opinion on DARE plates we would ask.

hmmm...did not know that at all. Is that for reals? I guess that is a factor. To clarify, I've always LIKED Dare plates, seriously considered getting one for a while. I used to blaze in my cars a lot when i was younger and dumb, but since i don't do that anymore, i guess it wouldn't be an issue.

I just feel like its "wearing a target on your back"

Scapegoat- thanks for your valued opinion. I will be sure to make a mental note. :D

poisonivory · 08-12-2008, 03:27 PM

it doesnt matter anyway, they did away with the black ones and now you can't get the dare plates just for looks. The new dare plates look just like the ugly blue/white/gold pa plates.

This. I wanted one for my black car but I when looking around they got rid of the black plate and now they look just like a regular plate.

poisonivory · 08-12-2008, 03:44 PM

^^ yup, it sucks. That was the problem though. I'd assume that 75% or more of the people that had the black DARE plates, only got them for the sleek look and not so much because they support the organization.

Now only people that support the organization will bother get them, because they offer no better appearance.

ew! y'd they do that??? well, i guess that kindof kills this thread's purpose then.

does that mean the black DARE plates are collectors items now???? lol.

poisonivory · 08-12-2008, 03:56 PM

there has been several threads on this issue, people asking if its possible to transfer the black plates from another owner. I honestly don't know if it's possible to transfer them or not (the issue got mixed responses), but I do know that the black plates are no longer available.

black plates are no longer available, but you can switch them over if the previous owner has all the proof of ownership and the swap is done at a notary. My brother has one and I had it switched onto my old eclipse when he sold one of his cars.

sean3 · 08-12-2008, 04:44 PM

THAT is painting a target on your back, not a DARE plate.

i never knew that you could get a discount on insurance by having a dare plate. do u know how much of a discount approximatly? (well i guess it depends on the insurance agency)

BustedUjoint · 08-12-2008, 05:07 PM

HIJACK!

I just looked at the site to see the new "DARE" plate. . .gay. . .anyways. I was looking at the Specialty Plates list and noticed that a Jeep Club I belonged to had their own plate. Sooooooo, A thought popped in my head. Why doesn't TST, or a PA "Chapter" of TST apply to get one made up? Here is a pic and links. If there is interest we can start a new thread.
