I have specialized plates on my vehicle that read--"MI BAJA" and I have seen several others while traveling Baja. This past week I noticed one that
read "Baja Dor" and that set me to wondering--who else has or knows someone that has a 'baja' plate. California DMV adivses me that BAJA---something
is the most demanded specialized plates in California. Just look ad DMV.com and see what I mean. Anyone know Bajador??

Don't know about Bajador Bernie, but I tried to get plates for my exploder that said baja anything. I tried every combination I could think of and
they all were taken. I finally gave up.

I bet Bajador is someone with a Lab.
We used to have a half lab half bassett hound and we always said that she was a rare breed....a bassador.
They wont let you have vanity plates in Mexico

Here's a related question... In 1980-81 when the CA plates went from 6 to 7 characters, I ordered THE BAJA and got them (yes I was jazzed)...
The last time those plates were registered (in use) were around 1997 or so... (they were on my '87 4WD Subaru that my ex-wife kept until she traded it
in, but didn't keep the plates. She actually removed them and gave them to me... So I have them.
If I wanted to re-activate those plates, what would it cost me. I heard that I would have to pay for the years they were inactive, but that doesn't
sound reasonable... ??? Thanks

The words have probably been re-issued to someone else. I had a "Lou 4X4" and didn't use it for several years and couldn't re-instate it as it had
been reissued. Still have the plates tho. - might work in Baja???
THE BAJA

If those plates are still shown as registered to the previous vehicle, YES, you would have to pay the reservation fees and penalties if you wanted to
use them again. After a number of years of inactivity in which the reservation fee was not paid, the plate ID is put back into the pool and anyone
can purchase it without penalties. I ran into exactly this situation.
Since the plate "THE BAJA" is not available, it is either still shown on your vehicle or has been reissued to someone else. A trip to the DMV would
be necessary to find out.

Thanks Bill...
Basically, those plates were on my Subaru, which I let my ex keep, and when she traded the Subaru in years later, she did not keep the personalized
plates for her next car.
I don't have a big need for them, other than they are fun to have on my Baja truck... Maybe I should try an get GOT BAJA?
Probably taken!
Anyway, I still have them as momentos from my Baja exploring in the 1980's...
