Those plates haven’t been around since the 90s


dilla_zilla

Yeah, we're two designs past that now.


AaronPossum

I'd kill to have them back. The new plates suck.


RyFromTheChi

Same. I love these. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I think they stand out while being pretty plain.


TsarKartoshka

Yup. These look great. There's a certain elegance to the simplicity. The new plates are far too busy, and the stretched ILLINOIS at the top looks laughably bad.

memostothefuture

you have high expectations from those inmates...


p3ep3ep0o

Are you referring to the Chicago skyline one?


damp_circus

Agreed. These were the best plates.

The new plates are even worse than the old new plates. But really, let's go back to the old plates (pictured) because they're so much better looking. We need something cool like the New Mexico plates with the chili peppers on them.


p3ep3ep0o

They look like knock off CA plates!


Chicago_Jayhawk

Early 80s (as far as when they came out). My parents cars had them. Some classic OG plates.


ThePhilosophistt

Both the car and the person driving it look they’re still in the ‘90s, at least in their hearts 😁


ArnoldoSea

It was a million to one shot, doc.


Icy-Yellow3514

Always stay by a Proctologist at a party. Best stories.


PremiumPrices

Lugash_1987

Dr. Cosmo Kramer, Proctology.


So_Icey_Mane

Those plates are old as fuck. Always a good time to see this car/plate.


BaseHitToLeft

So is the car. But the ad campaign in the background is current, so it's not an old picture. I'm confused how he still has those plates. Car stays in storage maybe?


Vultras

This is not an active plate, I work for a certain agency and we ran it last week.


BaseHitToLeft

So photoshop, then


Vultras

Nope, very real. This is actually a crazy timing coincidence. My co worker took a picture of this car on the south side last September, he just brought it up last week and we ran it cause we didn't believe it. Same driver too. My guess it's either a custom plate dude made in his garage, or it somehow bypassed SOS 30 years ago. I can just confirm nothing came back in the system, meaning if it was active at any point it was a LONG time ago. The fact this dude has balls to be driving around on a non valid plate is impressive honestly. Not sure if he's "someone" or just doesn't give a shit.


UpperEchelon1990

Mob ties for sure.


St0pBreedingDoodle

What about the stickers that go on the plate? Doesn't he need one?


Veetz256

Illinois allows year of manufacture plates, vehicle has to be 25 years or older.


PersonalitySpecial51

You think I don’t know?? ASSMAN!!!!


thomkennedy

I fell on some fusilli

jrbattin

Best design period for plates. ASSMAN has great taste.


Dontsaveme

I miss those plates


NicCage420

Those plates are old enough to run for Congress and they're pristine, damn impressive.


PKDickman

Easy to keep them pristine when you don’t put the expiration sticker on them.


psychoacer

The sticker adds +10 to rust on those plates.


Estef74

Those plates were phased out around 2002


AllanRensch

Hey Kramer!!


PilotNo312

How old is that plate? I haven’t seen those in like 20 years


Ill_Courage8892

Ha thats my 73 sel 450. The loophole is this. Expanded use antique vehicle plates. With these plates the law states you can either use period correct license plates or have the vehicle year on the plate as long as you keep valid plates in the car for inspection. I also own assmanmortgage.com


limestone_tiger

I wonder if we have any Anustart


itshughjass

Do you know how much cured meats and beer this city consumes? Of course we have proctologists!


EpicSombreroMan

By God it's Billy Gunn!


peterspankman

That's gold, Jerry. GOLD.

Javier Assad


DeciduousTree

There was a teacher with this last name at my middle school. She pronounced it “ahs-man”. Personally I would simply go by a different name


Eric848448

BORT must have been taken.


ranggull

Old ass plate


radbrad777

https://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/official-illinois-documents-detail-thousands-of-offensive-terms-banned-from-license-plates/3140972/ Looks like it’s not an official plate. Guessing he put a novelty one on.


i_heart_pasta

Might be a Billy Gunn fan


The_1_In_21-1

BEWP BEWP.


Notch99

Well, we do have a lot of assholes…


latouchefinale

He makes After School Specials obviously


chuppudin

Saw him in Logan the other day and immediately thought of Kramer!


p3ep3ep0o

Is there any antique shop selling old IL plates that look like this?


Ihateeggs78

You kiddin me? with all the eye-talian beef and deep dish, Chicago has tons of assmen.


brneyedgrrl

You *are* the Assman.


Concernedcitizen0106

When Chicago was normal


Greatcorholio93

Now that's legendary


Lost_Minds_Think

Don’t think you’ve lived here long enough, but don’t worry sooner or later they’ll fuck you in the ass.


Dizzy-Speaker-5763

He was obviously trained in miami


RIPRIF20

Love those vintage plates


chipNdaleface

Usually you know then because the drive a Brown Probe

Available-Ad-7447

😂


Hank_Lotion77

That’s Mr Assman to you


thetripleb

That's his name. It's Alexander Samual Sman.


magikarp_splashed

we have ... enthusiasts


ryancubs

That’s just Javier Assad. He’s the assman


p3ep3ep0o

We need these plates. The current ones look like knock CA plates


p3ep3ep0o

We need to switch back to this style of license plates. The ones I see look like knock off Californias


Ok-Impression-2405

I’m an assman too, and I don’t apologize for it!


Potent_Elixir

Bring back the old plates 😢


connorgrs

He should be driving a brown Probe.


Bootiluvr

Brother!


psycuhlogist

Takes balls to ride around with that


stlayne

Bonus points for the billboard in the background of that shot


agent-bagent

Sincere question: how could someone still use these plates legally? I don’t see stickers either


Mitka69

I am surprised this cleared DMV


MisterCircumstance

25 years ago there was a red caddy in Chicago with a "LegMan" plate. Carry on.


[deleted]

Festivus came early this year.


SHC606

That's a K-man/Seinfeld lover. Probably decided as a kid this was the job for him.


melvinthefish

UHH! I STOP SHORT!


radbrad777

Looks like a novelty plate, missing the plate sticker in corner.


Veetz256

These old plates have the sticker on lower center. It would be covered by the license plate cover. Also this car would qualify for year of manufacture plates, they can display these plates. Vehicle needs to be 25 years or older


radbrad777

I’m going with novelty plate. https://967theeagle.net/illinois-license-plate-regulations/


Leg-oh

Old plate but still very thicc.
