UA Tag

So I got notice recently that the Alabama car tags in Mississippi have just been shipped out to the various counties in the state and will be available any day now. Its funny, way back when, when they were soliciting folks to cough up the money to reserve them, they said in the letter, "Auburn has their tags, so why don't we?". Well, by George, that was enough for me (and apparently the x number of people required to send the tag designs to print. Its a pity, really, I was hoping to be able to state issued tag with the Biloxi lighthouse on it (http://www.mstc.state.ms.us/mvl/LighthouseTag.jpg), it really would have "gone" with my South Carolina Native sticker on my back window...(see my post from September 16, 2006).

My current tag runs out here at the end of the month, and it is up for renewal in August anyway. IT's a good thing, because there is apparently some ambiguity as to renewal issues (i.e. if you get the tag before your scheduled renewal month, does your renewal month change, or does it stay as is? ). So, it may be next Friday (August 1) before I get around to getting this one, just in case there is a problem with it...they've advised us to wait until Friday anyway before calling ahead to make sure our reserved tags are indeed in. Or I could just call to make sure what the deal is with the renewal issue, and go ahead and have it on Friday.

The CT apparently stands for "Crimson Tide" (makes sense). Apparently the state requires two vertical letters on specialty tags. Supposedly they couldn't use either UA, RT, or and so forth.
