It's been on there for many decades. Official state motto. It's better than Idoho's "Famous Potatoes".

 

I couldnt imagine having an s4 when I was 16. I had to drive a 79 rabbit, then at 17 I got a porsche 914 and was on cloud 9.

 

Not sayin that I disagree with it, but I just can't believe that it actually made it onto a state plate. I guess if it is the state motto that makes sense. Better than Land Of Lincoln IMHO. I dont know if you guys have seen Illinois new plates, but I like the old ones better.

 

Ross, maybe you could turn us on to what book you read that made you so successful and in exchange information could flow without sarcasm. I am still searching for that book and I don't want to tell you how old I am. Here is a hint though. When I was 16, I had a '49 Ford flathead V-8. I didn't like it, but it got me around. I told my father that I wanted a Chebbie (Chevys were cool, and Fords were not). He laughed and said to walk down the street about 5 doors and apply for a job at the mansion under construction at the time. (It happened to be the new home of some guy by the name of Henry J. Kaiser, for some of the older guys around here. He was to be our new neighbor.) I did apply and got a job as a construction laborer. I was handed a jackhammer attached to a compressor and the superintendent took me to a point on the property where he said Mrs. Kaiser wanted a boat house. I scratched my head and said: "But there is nothing here but a solid rock hill overlooking the ocean".
He smiled and pointed to the jackhammer I was holding and said I had better get started. Well, a few callouses, bumps and bruises later and I got my '55 Chebbie V-8 convertible, and Mrs Kaiser got her boat house. Wish I had known about your book then.

I must also agree with Jim Bailey. Pay the price for a cherry car, or buy low and brace for the shock. No free lunch.
