Looks like time to start a new "...Plates" thread (since we're well over 100 on the Vanity Plates III thread).

Here's James Cottingham's last post from the Vanity Plates III thread:

Or maybe it's just a red VW Beetle - "My Red Bug"?

Maybe it's the Tek-Tips context, but besides the obvious, I can also see "Thousand-Year Debug".

OMG!!! ROTFLMAO!!! I've been on a couple of those projects!!!

 
It was on a Red VW Beetle. Cute driver too.

@Sam
A couple thousand year debugs?
Did you start on an Abacus?

staabj:

I looked at the banned combinations list for Colorado referenced in that article, and I have to day, they're being overly cautious.

I can understand how people could misinterpret her choice of letters. Too bad the common name for the soybean product has a tasteless letter combination (like the product itself...)

on a newer VW, though I've no idea of the model - it looks like a probably somewhat "green" sedan - aka, purty small.

I think someone may have mentioned a similar one in a previous thread, but at least not in this one. [wink]

This was in Upstate SC.

Did you start on an Abacus?

I remember learning to use the Abacus. It was after I learned to use Roman Numerals. That was sometime between learning to use chalk and a slate and pencil and paper. Sadly, I'm not joking :-(

Saw this one on the way into work today and I have no clue...

DVOVRDT

"Dive Over Debt"? "Divorce Over Death"? He was obviously trying to squeeze a lot into just seven characters.

It was on a blue Isuzu Imprezza.

Any ideas?

 
That listing of banned combinations in the Colorado Tofu plate article is a bit scary. They don't allow "BUG", "JAG", "KIA", and several others that are obviously refering to the make of car. Why would these be banned? I don't get it.

And why are "MOO" and "UFO" on the list? I can't think of any context in which these would be offensive. Well, unless you just had your cattle mutilated by aliens. Ok, so maybe those make sense in Colorado.

Still, a lot of three letter combinations on the banned list make no sense to me.

On the back of an SUV on my way in this morning:
[tab]4CLOSUR$

He was pulling out of an apartment complex, so I wonder if he really makes that much "$" from foreclosures.

anotherhiggins: a plate like that seems a sure way to get his SUV vandalized in this economy. Not something to brag about, whatever his connection to that industry IMHO.

Indeed. I felt confident enough that he was a jerk that I flipped him off just for good measure. [wink]

Saw a neat one this morning.

Wasn't a flashy car or anything so I don't think it was the car.

On a Tahoe today: "PEGUIS"

I have no idea what it means.

Thats a different take on it blister. I never even thought of tennis. The rather simplistic "4 the love" was all that came to mind. Probably did pertain to tennis then, simply going off of the shoddy car it was on.
Few new ones from a car trip this weekend:
