[Shotimes] One of Fifty

Shylo, Oh there are dozens if not hundreds of special plates 
in Illinois.  Every university, some high schools, civic 
organizations and just about every city/county 
festival/fair.  Some plates are good for just 90 days 
(special event plates) or for a regular period (charity, 
fund raising, military, school etc).

I guess it could be worse.  Our plates are now fairly heavy 
aluminum rather than steel, not sure when that changed, but 
some time ago.  Since they don't change them but every 10-15 
years, older plates sometimes loose all their reflectivity, 
which is a good thing for speeders in areas that use lazer!
