Those of y’all elsewhere in the world will have to tell me if this is as common in your area as it is in ours.  It sure is common here.  If you buy your car at a dealer, you get a nice temporary tag, but if you buy it elsewhere you don’t, and you have to make your own.  The preferred method is to write “Tag Applied For” on a scrap of cardboard with a big black marker.  Sometimes I suspect people also use these when they have no intention of ever getting real tags.  Anyway, this one takes this cardboard licensing to a whole new low.

Thanks, Chris!  And happy Thanksgiving, American readers!
