#Story that I heard was that the Challenger license plates were introduced
#after the accident. Motorists can get the plates for a small extra fee, a
#portion of which goes to the Challenger families. If I lived in Fla., I'd
#sure get one.

A few years back I saw an article on license plate collecting that
said most states will send you a sample plate for a fee (either
blank or with something saying it's invalid on it).  Is this true
in Florida and can one of you Floridians check it out for us?

I'd like one to hang on my wall.
