Speaking of DMV. Why is the Department of Motor Vehicles called DMV all over the country...except in Maryland where it's the MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration)?

[MTK]

In MA its called the RMV, Registry of Motor Vehicles.

My new big pet peeve is OBX stickers on people's cars. I had a discussion about it on Facebook and jdlea had some good points, but I'm driving around and people actually have vanity plates with OBX in it (I've seen at least 6 just in my town, OBX4US, LUVOBX, etc.).

I'm like, "Does that make you better than normal people?"

I mean I've been to nice beaches before but I don't have Hawaii on my license plate.

For the longest time I thought OBX stood for some model of Oakleys.

All of those dumb white with black lettering oval stickers are stupid.

Worst then all that crap is the little stick figure family stickers. Any man who lets their wife put that on their car keeps his balls in his wife's purse.

My new one is Peyton manning bitching about this new rule where he has to wait for an official before he can snap the ball. Stop freaking crying! For many years there have been many rules put in place to help the offense. This year they decided to move the Ref and I like the fact that WR's cant use the Ref to get a pick on the defender and get wide open on a drag route.

LOL. So true. The OBX thing has just only recently gotten really, REALLY obnoxious to me. I'm like, YES, it's a beach, but jeezus, they act like it's literally where heaven is.

For the longest time I had no idea what OBX was, nor did I care, people sure love those dumb things though. Around my area you see lots of ADK stickers, for the Adirondacks.

I HATE those...always on minivans and include more cats than adults.

It is just a cool sticker for folks to have to say "hey look at me I vacation in the cool spots."

Back in the 90's when the tourist started taking over the Nags Head area the locals used the OBX stickers to tell them apart from the tourist. Now the tourist have taken that over "OBX sticker" and you don't see the locals riding around with those stickers anymore. The funny part is that people who own property down there still want people to know they are "a local" so they still sport those stickers. The locals now suport tourism allot more because they realize it means big$$$$.

That's extremely interesting. I always wanted to know where it came from...

On a side note, I apologize to anyone who has this sticker just because the like it.

It's the people who get CUSTOM freaking license plates that deserve to be called the d-bags.

That is probably the older way of saying it. I'm younger generation and pretty much everybody I know my age calls it the DMV.
