These plates take artistic license

Tag Tales Returns: If your license tags could talk, what story would they tell? Post a picture of your Rhode Island or Massachusetts license plate and then add an explanation of the tag's special meaning. Be sure to tell us about yourself and your car, too. We'll periodically pick the best tag tales for publication in future Sunday projoCars sections. Be sure to include your phone number (not for publication) so that we can contact you if your tag tale is selected for publication in the paper.
