Livin' La Vida Aloha: Personalized Plates a'Plenty

In Hawaii, everything is more fun, including vehicles. My car, which has a Texas registration sticker, my base stickers, and the parking decal for the garage at work all on my front left windshield, looks sparse compared to some of the exterior "accesorization" going on here.

First of all, yes, people here do have hula girls on their consoles, and yes, they do have aloha-print car seat covers. There are also aloha steering wheel covers and leis hanging from rear-view mirrors.

I've seen countless ' in memoriam' vinyls taking up the entire rear windows. And instead of the stick figures seen typically on mini-vans on the mainland, Hawaiians have their own (cute) version - flip flops, dolphins, and turtles. Fun!

But the most entertaining, at least for someone who is once again stuck in traffic (after two blissful years!), is looking for personalized license plates. I've been taking pictures for the past couple of weeks and I'd love to share them with you!

I apologize for the quality of the pictures in advance - they're taken from my phone, and while driving -0ops, did I just admit to a driving infraction?

Enjoy!
