Originally posted by builttospill I think it's funny, if not a bit odd for someone to have so much school pride long after they have graduated from their alma mater. But here I often see red vehicles with a custom collegiate license plate for the University of Utah on it, and blue vehicles with the BYU collegiate plate. I'm not sure if the University of Oklahoma has collegiate plates, as I've never see them when in town. OSU has them though:
Heh, it's actually a total coincidence, but you could call my Volvo my school colors, too. These really were not a big thing with me at the time, mind you. I did have a couple of nice huge T-shirts to sleep in, though. This town, on the other hand, really likes getting cars in the local school colors, though on the used-truck hunt we managed to avoid the bright red, (which I don't particularly care for, even if a lot of cars look good in it.)
They were talking about another Buick/Opel thing? I remember as a young kid seeing the Opels at the Buick/Opel dealer. I wanted a Manta, though those didn't seem to fare very well in New England for longevity.
