[King Crimson]

isn't the original Van's Pig Stand in Shawnee? or is it Seminole?

that's allright.

[Ike]

I actually like Shawnee. part of that is that Mrs. Ike's parents live there, and they are genuinely good folk. part of that is that from their house, they are <5 minutes away from everything in town. and the other part is the original Van's....

I have a Shawnee story. I was on a stage check (i.e. midterm) in my cross-country flying class and the instructor says "show me how you would divert to Shawnee". We were over Moore at the time, so I turned east. The instructor says "What are doing?" "Diverting to Shawnee." "How do you know you're headed in the right direction?" "Because I can see Shawnee right there." "Humor me and pretend that you can't see Shawnee and plot a new course on the chart." "OH."


I never said it was a particularly interesting story.

Shawnee,Kansas > Shawnee,Oklahoma ;)

[King Crimson]

in my 9th grade summer driver's ed class our highway driving "assignment" was from Norman to Shawnee and back with the high school LB's coach/driver's ed teacher. we ate at Van's. i figure that was no accident on the "teacher's" part.

and yes, he WAS wearing laceup Bike coaches shorts. we drove a SWEET maroon ford....whatever the smaller version of the LTD was in the late 80's.

major POS that car.

[soonerbrat]

my bad, it's only saving me $650

but still.

At first I thought you were just talking about the annual registration fee.

What kind of a scam are tribal tags anyway? How much money do the tribes contribute to the highway fund? Not that car fees or gas taxes actually go to the highway fund in this state. :rolleyes:

Commerical tags must be a scam, too, because I see a lot of soccer moms driving around in "commerical vehicles" during the middle of the day.

back in the day, i think any truck could get a commercial tag.

[mdklatt]

Are those less expensive than regular tags?

[yermom]

dude, i have no idea

i would guess so? :confused:

[Sooner_Bob]

Active Duty tags are sweeeeeeet . . .

[Sooner_Bob]

Oh, to follow up on the whole tribal tag thing. When we lived out on the Navajo Reservation because we are indian we paid $13.50 for a brand new 96 Chevy Blazer tag. It would have only cost us $8 if we were Navajo tribal members.

While you're there, get one of those Absentees Shawnees to put an axe through your forehead.

It'll save me about 800 points on my next cholesterol test.

me too baby.

[1stTimeCaller]

mdklatt, this is what the OK tag site thingy says. So the answer is still, we don't know.


Noncommercial Vehicle Registration

Noncommercial registration rates apply to automobiles; non commercial and non agricultural trucks; travel trailers; motor homes; motorcycles and mopeds.

Noncommercial vehicles are registered on the basis of their year of registration, as follows:

1st through 4th year of registration $93.00
5th through 8th year of registration $83.00
9th through 12th year of registration $63.00
13th through 16th year of registration $43.00
17th year and over $23.00



Commercial Truck Registration

Commercial trucks are trucks, truck tractors or station wagons utilized primarily in a commercial capacity. Registration fees are based upon the declared laden weight and, in some instances, the age of the vehicle.

To qualify for commercial truck registration at 15,000 lbs. or under, one (1) of the following must be presented:

Federal Employers Identification Number
Oklahoma Sales Tax Permit Number
If a sole proprietor, a copy of Schedule C from the most recent tax year federal income tax return.
All commercial trucks and truck tractors are required to display the name of the commercial establishment or the words "Commercial Vehicle" permanently and prominently upon the outside of the vehicle, in letters not less than 2 inches high.

Make sure you don't get kicked by football players.

[Norm In Norman]

isn't the original Van's Pig Stand in Shawnee? or is it Seminole?

that's allright.
The original was in Seminole, until it burnt down way back in the late 80s.

[sanantoniosooner]

I grew up in Tecumseh, and I always wondered if anyone ever showed up at the absentee tribal meetings.

What are you trying to say?

Are you being mean to her because if so I will find you make you apologize.

Really I will.

[Sooner_Bob]

I will find you make you apologize.




Am I the only one who read that with a Vietnam hooker accent?

[Ardmore_Sooner]

Be on the lookout for quarterbacks, they have a tendency to stomp people.

[Sooner04]

I will find you.

Make you apologize long time.

As far as scams go, it's pretty far down the list compared to using the military to force a peaceful group of people off their land because it has gold on it and marching them a thousand miles in the winter, effectively killing a large percentage of them.

gdc..........I cringe at some of the awful things that people in power have done to other people.

I also cringe that the salvation of the Indian nations is tied to gambling and cigarettes.

I had nothing to do with this, so I better not be subsidizing tribal members to drive on Oklahoma's craptastic roads.

haha me too I just saved like 600 on my truck tag by getting the tribe tag.

and i had to stop in by firelake for a little fun too.

did you goto shawnee or tecumseh??

[OUAndy1807]

wow, 3 people of the place of the fire on here.

[OUAndy1807]

btw, Shawnee sucks and Dale rules.

[Okla-homey]

Are they (the 'absentees,' a federally-recognized tribe)...or one of them Indian "clubs" like the Delaware?

[sanantoniosooner]

pfffffft

The baseball teams I played on in Tecumseh OWNED Dale.

[sanantoniosooner]

I grew up in Tecumseh, and I always wondered if anyone ever showed up at the absentee tribal meetings.
nobody ever answered this question.

Be sure and bow to the golden Bison on the OBU Oval.

Wow, I guess I didn't really miss anything while I was gone. :D

I think they're full fledged tribes, because a lot of them have gaming establishments, which I would image means they have gaming compacts with the govt.

[MamaMia]

My husband thought about getting a Kiowa license plate, but you cant get a personalized one. Maybe they will have them available one day. :)

[AllAboutThe'O']

Almost every time I drive through Shawnee on I-40 going west toward OKC or Norman, I try to make it a point and stop off at the Taco Bueno near the mall. Good times, good times.
