Suggested Tennessee's New License Plate Tagline - And Response

  • Wednesday, September 22, 2021

New Tennessee license plate design says “TNVACATION.COM” at the bottom of the plate. How about changing that to “TNVACCINATION.COM?“

Wishful thinking.

The word Tennessee also is known to be derived from an ancient internal combustion driven machinery phrase. The tagline could be it.  Practical jokes and humor were a deep part of this culture and merit a look as well. The phrase was coined in a time that acceleration was strong, brakes were poor, and mirrors were enlisted more for self reflection.

With proper punctuation it is: "Turn Signals?”
