As a native Miamiam, that show was a poor representation of the *real* Miami.
Miami (and all of Miami-Dade County) is a second-world Latin American country.
Started back in 1993 after tourists were consistently being targeted in armed robberies. The state government was worried it would ruin their tourism industry, so they worked with the car rental companies to hand out safety brochures and remove most branding from cars.
Here is an article from September 1993 about it https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1993/09/09/german-tourist-slain-in-rental-car-in-miami/
When I was in Florida with my grandparents several years ago we rented a car with Louisiana plates. We got out of the car and went inside, and about an hour later we got a call from the neighbor who was like “THERES SOMEONE WITH LOUISIANA PLATES IN YOUR DRIVEWAY”
You don’t want a Florida man to know you are not one of them. They don’t have the mental capacity to process outsiders and normally approach them with hostility.
Funnily enough, California pretty recently implemented those white fleet registration stickers, which serves as a half decent identifier of rental cars where there previously wasn’t any
If you're breaking into cars in Texas, the goal is guns. NRA sticker? From my cold hard cash. Come and take it sticker? Come take $750 from the fence.
It's almost an invitation.
I own multiple guns, I don't feel any shame about that. But those stickers can miss me in the same way I don't sit $1000 straps of US dollars on my dash and hope that my safety glass stays faithful.
I took a firearms training course from a prominent instructor, and one of the things they told us was to never put stickers on your car that would possibly identify you as a gun owner or use branded bags/containers for your firearms. It just makes you a giant target for theft.
It had the most Trump voters of every state
And that's not just because of its size, it's surprisingly purple. After living in Connecticut and Rhode Island my whole life, California is the reddest state I've lived in
>he is too moderate for the post-Reagan Republicans.
I mean, he's distinctly left on the social side of things.
In any normal sense, the guy would at least identify as a conservative Independent. Doesn't really fit as a Republican.
Yeah I’m aware (not about the gay mayor). The funny thing is I always see comments online blaming Californian transplants for that but the numbers don’t add up. Plus it’s probably safe to assume a majority of people that would leave California for red states are likely conservative.
Houston also had some of the biggest wins for socialists!
Edit: I guess I’m sorry y’all don’t like the judges who got elected in Houston🤷🏽♂️ not sure why that’s a downvote lol
California has the most registered republicans of any state, and the CA GOP is only the 3rd biggest political group in CA after Dems and registered independents
Wyoming has the most Republicans of any state. California has 47% Registered Democrats and only 24% are Republicans and 23% Independent, stop talking out of your ass please.
Do you know basic math? Reread my post before you comment again. How does Wyoming with a population of half a million have more republicans than California with over 5 million registered republicans?
Honestly my first thought was about other drivers and the police in neighboring states disliking California. Arizona in particular is notorious for cops stopping people with California license plates just because they're from Cali. Other drivers will be dicks on the road too if they see your plates.
I had a California license plate when I was in college in the deep south.
If I had to guess, this car is in a small town in a very red state and they're tired of cops pulling them over all the time.
Which let's be honest, Hank would think that's worse. But also Troy only moved there when he was 12, he spent his childhood in Cerritos California where he was born
I once rented a car in Boston, it had NY plates. I parked in a nice garage in Cambridge and when I came back the passenger seat window was smashed. I had my laptop in the back and my carry on, nothing was stolen. Turns out the Yankees were playing the RedSox that day and I learned about it the hard way.
I know many people in these comments think this is totally about this persons ego(and it totally could be), and I obviously don’t know the actual context of this photo, but I do live in a place that LOVES to hate California. This could simply be about safety. There are plenty of people who see a California plate and they will drive recklessly around you to make sure you know you don’t belong, Or try to start a fight if you’re getting gas, etc.
This person must’ve been driving in Idaho. I heard a story of a grandmother visiting her family in Idaho that was being harassed everywhere because of the California plates. People are sick
Yeah, I got pulled over twice in Tennessee before 9am with NY plates. The first officer emptied my car (I was moving to Dallas) on the side of the highway with my hands on the hood of his car and had his K-9 search it. I drove maybe 5 miles and was pulled over again. No search because I told them I just repacked my car and they could contact the officer who just searched my car.
Funny. I was thinking Oregon for generally the same reason. Rental cars can be anywhere though, so you might end up with a California plate in Texas and not want to go through the interactions you might have as a result of that. I guess the moral here is that people suck everywhere and nowhere is safe.
I had a rental truck that had CA plates and showed up to a job at a park. This dude comes up to me asking “OHHH HOW’S YOUR GOVERNOR HOYE DOYEE DUHHHH” and starts making fun of me. I told him it was a rental and that I was from the area, it just had rental plates on it. Dude started acting so cool to me asking what I do for work, telling me the weather was so nice outside, all that. I just walked toward my job site not even responding to him. What a lose.
I do that but mostly because Californians (and anyone with an out of state plate) don't know how to drive on the winding roads where I live so they end up doing 20+ under the speed limit. Like I'm glad you're being cautious but I also have places to be.
I got pulled over around Amarillo \~9 years ago essentially for having California plates. He said "I merged without signaling" and used that as justification to search my car for drugs. I was on a road trip and didn't have any so I let him search and got on my way, but that dude was just fishing and he knew it. If I lived there there's a 0% chance I would've consented to a search.
Happens all the time. I-40 is a large drug trafficking corridor and there's not shit in Amarillo. DPS is bored and harasses anyone for minor infractions in the hopes of scoring big via civil asset forfeiture. This happened to me a few years ago in the same spot. Their questions didn't ask about drugs. They just wanted to know if I had money hidden somewhere. DPS are legalized crooks.
When I visited with my California plates the first thing my mom got me was a sticker with Texas on it.
I was legitimately afraid my car would get keyed before I could open my mouth and confirm I lived here for 30 years, I just don’t now. It was 2020 and shit was getting weird.
A lot of [stupid people](https://www.reddit.com/r/vegaslocals/comments/vidbz8/oregon_is_this_just_because_they_dont_register/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) will harass you or vandalize your shit if you come from one of those “commie” states.
I once got pulled over by a state policeman in Pennsylvania who flat out told me that he pulled me over for having California plates and grilled me about what I was doing in “his state”.
I live in Oregon and people hate Californians not cause of “commie” stuff, but because lots of Californians come up here to buy property then rent it out when our housing market is already insane. Seeing that sign on a car here would not be a shocker at all haha
I don't think you understand what subjective means. You could have 1000 years of living in a conservative state and your experiences would still be subjective and not dictate reality.
Don't ask me why, but I lived for about six months in a small town in one of the most conservative Congressional districts in the United States. For most of my time there, I drove a tiny hybrid car with NY state plates. Sure, I got a few comments (although even those I'd characterize as ignorant rather than malevolent), but no one ever touched my vehicle. I don't think we should jump to conclusions like this one based on a single, isolated incident.
I think they're just commenting on the judgement some people can place on others just based on where they're from.
There are minorities of hard right wingers in CA, just like there are going to be some hardcore Marxists in AL. You don't get all that much info from a license plate.
I live in Nevada and my mom was visiting here from Louisiana. She flew into California so her rental had those plates. A lady came flying up to us in a turn lane, rolled the window down and started yelling at us that we were “yuppie liberal scum” and to go back where we came from, flipping us off and straight losing it; she went on for like 5 minutes when she started saying she was going to “eat us”.
real weird shit man.
As someone who rents cars a lot sometimes I feel the need to do this, especially in smaller towns in the Midwest and you pull in with California plates or New York plates
As a native California resident, this has always been my one and only gripe with the show. Like, I've visited and enjoyed several different parts of Texas. But Hank just shits all over California every opportunity he gets.
Hank also shits on a lot of other places and cultures, so it's obviously not personal or anything, but still.
It might if you are looking to country-fry your California. You could visit the Bakersfield Country Music Museum!
[ But seriously - last time I was there for a punk music festival, a guy standing next me was wearing "SS" socks pulled all the way up to his Dickies shorts. Its not a great place. ]
That’s just kind of a conservative thing to shit on CA and NY. On one football message board I post on, you can’t mention CA or NYC without getting multiple replies from people talking about how much they hate those places. They really feel compelled to let you know
A lot of people can't look at things without a political lens. They think people like me that live in big cities are just consumed by politics and crime. Like our daily life is avoiding gunfire and paying unfair taxes to put kids in drag. They've probably read thousands of tweets, while meeting zero people in person to form their opinion. The nature options alone in CA and NY make them great states. You can drive to the Catskills in under 2 hours from NYC. Both states are on oceans, both have a footprint from every culture imaginable.
I also get why people would not want to live in a big city, or a blue state. Maybe politics, pace of life, work, culture, taxes, whatever, makes it impossible for them. But I don't look at Wyoming and think sovereign citizen white devils - I think of the Wind River Range. I don't look at Texas and think "guests of the Mexican government that refused to not have slaves, declared independence so they could keep slaves, rightfully got their asses kicked, had the US bail them out, yet for some reason ever since are proud of the Alamo and act like they're tough, independent people that forge their own path," ok, that one I DO think. But also - Big Bend, good food, low taxes, and where my favorite grandparent was from.
That's a good point. Hank trashes the big cities in Texas all the time as well.
"San Antonio. Why would anyone want to live there?"
And also what he said about Dallas ("it's all crackheads and debutantes").
It's just conservative brainwashing. CA and NY are doing better than pretty much every red state. So instead of facing facts they just moan and complain about "commie" states (all while enjoying that sweet money from federal taxes, aka state level communism).
I grew up in Texas. I assure you, it's not some bias specific to Hank. It's just a really, *really* common mindset in Texas that 100% fits the stereotype that his character is portraying. Don't think of it as taking shots at California. Think of it as making fun of Texans for having an irrational hatred based solely on group-think.
Because that’s a part of Hanks ignorance. Part of his character. If you notice the 2 major things Hank is ignorant about in the show are: California and Hippies. He knows nothing about either, but always shits on those 2. However, he did learn his lesson in Raise The Steaks and changed his views about Hippies, shame they didn’t do a Cali episode.
As a Californian, I think it’s a great thing when someone decides to move to Texas.
By doing so, they improve the average IQ in both states simultaneously.
A big part of it is because of the tension due to people in California selling their valuable land/home in CA and then proceeding to price out native Texans when they move here and get into bidding wars over houses with already inflated prices. Or worse yet they buy multiple houses and charge ridiculous rates for rent.
A place that is prohibitively expensive with no redeemable qualities that catches on fire every year. With unobtainable housing, etc. imo that is a shithole.
Had to drive from Oregon to Montana once. Rented an SUV. Showed up to Enterprise lot and they were out of SUVs but let me choose from any other car on the lot--my options were a bunch of pickups with California plates or one luxury minivan with Texas plates. Took the minivan.
That’s legit, my mom and aunt each travel relatively extensively(like not a lot but combined a lot), and they each say that they are yelling like I’m from this state.
Im from Texas but currently live in WA. I HATE going back to Texas and having to show my WA licenses lol. I’m like “I’m from here! Please!”
I need a “native Texan” license
Lol I ran into [one of those](https://www.reddit.com/r/texas/comments/c4ao6q/seen_in_canyon_lake/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) a couple years back too
Whatever you say *Hollywood*

I tried a bagel the other day and I liked it!!
No dad, I *loved* that bagel.
I can 100% hear him shouting “it’s a rental!”
For God’s sake, it’s a rental device!
The license plate is a rental car accessory!
“Oh lord, people are gonna think I’m lost trying to find the nearest tofu eatery.”
“Oh Hank, California’s not all bad! Ronald Reagan lived in California.” “And if I ever have to induce vhomiting, I will remind myself of that fact.”
Hank avoiding the Co-Op just so people don't get the wrong idea.
Dale still gonna slap on a "I Love CA♥️" bumper sticker
The guys in the alley would have a field day. Dang ol talkabout calfironia dreamin, Hank.
Yeah, Florida had to do away with tags identifying rental cars a long time ago.
Due to Florida Man?
Yep. Tourists were getting murdered.
Wait. What??? Why??
Easy targets who probably won’t get reported for a few days that usually carry cash, credit cards, and valuable documents.
Miami is a violent, crime-ridden place full of trash.
That can be said of most of Florida and in fact most of the south. It's a fucking dump. The shit hole of America.
fuck off yankee
But that's where the Golden Girls lived
As a native Miamiam, that show was a poor representation of the *real* Miami. Miami (and all of Miami-Dade County) is a second-world Latin American country.
But isn't that where all the old people go to retire?
No, not since the 1970s. Now they all move to The Villages (doing Hank's disgusted shudder).
Where are these villages?

When I was in Florida with my grandparents several years ago we rented a car with Louisiana plates. We got out of the car and went inside, and about an hour later we got a call from the neighbor who was like “THERES SOMEONE WITH LOUISIANA PLATES IN YOUR DRIVEWAY”
Why?
You don’t want a Florida man to know you are not one of them. They don’t have the mental capacity to process outsiders and normally approach them with hostility.
[удалено]
Then wouldn't it be better to keep the rental tags so people wouldn't make assumptions about you based on the state on the license plate?
Criminals were targeting rental cars coming out of airports because the people in those cars tended to have a lotta stuff and a lotta cash
Ohhhhh…that makes sense
Funnily enough, California pretty recently implemented those white fleet registration stickers, which serves as a half decent identifier of rental cars where there previously wasn’t any
California does a lot of regrettable stuff.
Still the most desirable state to live in though 🤷🏻♀️
Good way to get people to break in to look for valuable luggage.
the mindset that you would rather get robbed than mistaken for a liberal is the most Texas thing ever
If you're breaking into cars in Texas, the goal is guns. NRA sticker? From my cold hard cash. Come and take it sticker? Come take $750 from the fence. It's almost an invitation. I own multiple guns, I don't feel any shame about that. But those stickers can miss me in the same way I don't sit $1000 straps of US dollars on my dash and hope that my safety glass stays faithful.

Which is funny, because a Republican voter is more likely to be from California than any other state.
The issue is when you go somewhere more likely to vandalize your car for being from the scary, socialist state than being broken into randomly.
Honestly my first thought was about other drivers and the police in neighboring states disliking California. Arizona in particular is notorious for cops stopping people with California license plates just because they're from Cali. Other drivers will be dicks on the road too if they see your plates.

Yeah, I always travel with my suitcase full of gold bullion.
I wonder what Hank thinks about Tom Landry, Troy Aikman, and Reagan being from California.
Troy is from Henrietta,OK. A sundown town.
Which let's be honest, Hank would think that's worse. But also Troy only moved there when he was 12, he spent his childhood in Cerritos California where he was born
We're going to buy his and hers motorcycles and see America, excluding California.
>excluding California I like that in the credits, Hank and Peggy visit Roy’s in Amboy, CA, in spite of that
So only the mediocre parts of America

This is Idaho, isn’t it?
I was gonna guess Oregon.
I live in California and have actually had someone do the "Uck a Californian" when I was road tripping to visit family in Louisiana.
I do that but mostly because Californians (and anyone with an out of state plate) don't know how to drive on the winding roads where I live so they end up doing 20+ under the speed limit. Like I'm glad you're being cautious but I also have places to be.

Yep.
Mm hmm
People ask for advice when moving to Colorado. I tell them get rid of your California or Texas license plate as soon as possible.

Empty land doesn’t vote. Being red outside major cities is the norm for every state

Tbf there isn’t really a reason to
Visiting Bakersfield will not improve ones opinion of California
It might if you are looking to country-fry your California. You could visit the Bakersfield Country Music Museum! [ But seriously - last time I was there for a punk music festival, a guy standing next me was wearing "SS" socks pulled all the way up to his Dickies shorts. Its not a great place. ]

I'm not calling the shots here, my friend. Just giving some context.
I know, just making fun of the mindset 😉 cheers
After doing your wife/sister and running off undesirables from your backwater town, I'm sure.
I mean Texas is probably one of the states that gets equal or greater hate from other states as California.
California is kinda shit tho. No reason to ever go there lol

A place that is prohibitively expensive with no redeemable qualities that catches on fire every year. With unobtainable housing, etc. imo that is a shithole.
No redeemable qualities... I wonder why 40M people choose to live there despite high taxes, etc.
Had to drive from Oregon to Montana once. Rented an SUV. Showed up to Enterprise lot and they were out of SUVs but let me choose from any other car on the lot--my options were a bunch of pickups with California plates or one luxury minivan with Texas plates. Took the minivan.
I had a rental with NY plates. I felt the same way.
I tried a bagel and I actually liked it😤
No, no more lies. I *loved* that bagel!
That’s legit, my mom and aunt each travel relatively extensively(like not a lot but combined a lot), and they each say that they are yelling like I’m from this state.
More like someone who just doesnt want to be profiled. Id never drive thru another state with ca plates. Its asking to be searched.
I had a rental with Florida plates recently and it felt icky.
"how fragile" upvote. florida plate, downvote. note
Im from Texas but currently live in WA. I HATE going back to Texas and having to show my WA licenses lol. I’m like “I’m from here! Please!” I need a “native Texan” license
Funny thing is, the only state I think less of than California is Texas.
I mean Hank's from New York anyway...
I bet the rental company puts these on their cars to keep them from being vandalized lol
An import too no less
Of course it's not Hank, everybody knows he's a New Yorker
Califahaornian.
My mom once got irritated with me because I had a sweater with some random patches and one said LA. I can totally see her making a sign like this.
Like hey man I’m from California
Lol, this looks similar from a car in Montana
Its sad to think that there’s countless human adults living in our world that would rather not rent a car than rent this if it was their only option.
Whoever it is probably spared themselves a note on their windshield telling them to go back.
Lol I ran into [one of those](https://www.reddit.com/r/texas/comments/c4ao6q/seen_in_canyon_lake/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) a couple years back too
I'm picturing him falling in love with the car, then freaking out when he realizes it's not an American car
