resp:10 Used to be. As I recall, Congress forced the District to stop
making them --- one of those "Do what we say or lose all your funding" things
that prompted the plates in the first place --- but didn't (or couldn't) do
anything about the existing plates, so they're out there, but less common.
Someone from that area may feel free to correct me. Hell, anyone else can
feel free to correct me, too :)

Saw one of those "IF YOU CAN READ THIS, FLIP ME OVER" (upside down)
things on the bumper of a Jeep on Wednesday. The driver was donning
his cammie jacket while I had him in view. (In 90 F weather.)
If I get to stop within earshot of someone with that sticker, I
intend to tell them that I can read upside down and when they want
me to stop flipping.

re 14:
If the DC "Taxation Without Representation" plates have been
discontinued, the DC DMV website doesn't say so:

'SVT' ? Or does it matter? (I suspect it doesn't, really)

Ford's Special Vehicle Team. "SVT" indicates the performance model of a
Ford car, sort of like an "M" on a BMW. Some of them (the Mustang Cobra
and the F-150 Lightning are SVTs) are very cool, others (the SVT Contour)
aren't as exciting, and the SVT Focus is supposed to be pretty mild.
