Alright, alright, let’s jaw about this “life is good” license plate thingy, ya hear?
So, you got this car, right? And it’s got them metal tags on it, the ones that say where you from and all that. But them things, they’re boring as watching paint dry, ain’t they? Just numbers and letters, nothin’ excitin’.
Well, some folks, they got smart. They figured, “Why not make them tags say somethin’ good? Somethin’ that makes ya smile?” And that’s where this “life is good” stuff comes in.
What’s a “life is good” license plate anyway?
It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya. It’s just a license plate, like any other, but it’s got them words “life is good” on it, or maybe some picture that makes ya think life is good. You know, sunshine, happy faces, that kinda stuff. It’s supposed to make ya feel good, make other folks feel good too. Spread a little sunshine, ya know? Lord knows we all need a little more of that.
Where can ya get one of these “life is good” plates?
- The Internet: Now, I ain’t too good with this computer stuff, but my grandkids, they tell me you can find anything on that “inner-net.” They say there’s places online where you can make your own plate, put whatever you want on it. Pictures, words, the whole shebang. They call it “custom” somethin’ or other. Sounds fancy, but it just means you get to pick what it looks like.
- Specialty Shops: Some stores, they make these kinda things. You gotta look around, ask around. Maybe in them big cities, they got more of them shops. Around here, it’s mostly just the feed store and the hardware store. But you might get lucky.
- Car Shows or Fairs: Sometimes, at them car shows, where they show off all them fancy cars, they got folks sellin’ stuff like that. Or maybe at a fair, you know, where they got the cotton candy and the rides. Worth a look-see, I reckon.
Why would anyone want a “life is good” license plate?
Well, why not, I say? Life’s hard enough as it is, ain’t it? Bills to pay, crops to tend to, grandkids to chase after. If a little ol’ license plate can make ya smile, or make someone else smile, then that’s a good thing, ain’t it? It’s like wearin’ a pretty dress or plantin’ some flowers. Just a little somethin’ to brighten up the day. Makes your car look less like a hunk of metal and more like somethin’ friendly. And some folks, they like to show off, ya know? Let everyone know they’re doin’ alright, that life ain’t so bad. Nothin’ wrong with that, I guess. To each their own, I always say.
Making your own “life is good” plate.
Now, if you’re one of them crafty types, you could probably make your own plate, I reckon. Get yourself a piece of metal, some paint, maybe some stickers. Let them grandkids help ya, they’re good at that kinda stuff. Just make sure it’s legal, ya hear? Don’t want to get in trouble with the law. Gotta follow the rules, even if they don’t always make sense.
It ain’t just about cars.
And get this, it ain’t just for cars neither. I seen folks put them “life is good” things on their trucks, on their tractors, even on their walls inside their houses! It’s like they’re sayin’, “No matter where I am, life is good.” That’s a nice thought, ain’t it? Makes ya think maybe we should all try to see the good in things, even when things are tough.
Some company called LG, they use that “life is good” thing too.
I heard tell of a big company, LG they call it, that uses the words “Life’s Good” for their slogan. Now, they don’t make license plates, far as I know. They make TVs and washing machines and such. Fancy stuff, most of it. But it just goes to show ya, that “life is good” idea, it’s popular. Folks like it. It reminds us to be grateful for what we got, even if it ain’t much.
It is important to check the rules where you live.
Now, before you go off and get yourself one of these plates, make sure you check the rules in your town, or your state, or wherever you live. They got rules about everything these days, and license plates is no different. You don’t want to get a ticket just because your plate ain’t right. That’d just ruin the whole “life is good” thing, wouldn’t it?
So, there you have it. That’s the lowdown on them “life is good” license plates. Whether you get one or not, that’s up to you. But I reckon it’s a nice idea. A little reminder to be happy, to enjoy the simple things. And that’s somethin’ we could all use a little more of, right?
