Just wanted to point out that the California Legacy Plate Program that was passed to reissue black and yellow plates (as well as yellow and black, and blue and yellow) has a requirement that 7500 prepaid reservations be submitted by the end of the year. Black and yellow currently has a little over 6000 reservations and may have a chance, the other 2 both have less than 2000 and will probably never happen.
Just wanted to point the time limit on this out to anyone considering one of these.
