Yet another new thread for our Vanity-Plates obsession. (Previous thread exceeds 100.)

I didn't know what this plate meant:


...until my perverted buddy said I needed to read it upside down.

Your buddy is probably a big fan of ‘Big Bang Theory’ because this number: S3I8008 is the perfect number according to Rajesh Kothapalli for just that reason :)

Have fun.

I saw this on a Honda Element this past weekend: Timonium.

Timonium is a suburb north of Baltimore. Might be related to the locale.

Nope. This was a North Carolina plate I saw in Durham. I think it has more to do with the owners name and SUV.

I've been too conditioned to try to interpret license plates. Yesterday I was behind a car and noticed it started with 4MY, but I couldn't figure our the rest of it.

[pre] 4MYB113[/pre]
I followed this guy for a mile or two talking out loud, "For my bleh?", "For my biie?", "For my be one 13?", "For my bib?", "For my Beib?". Nothin', maybe it's reversed? Maybe it's a code? Maybe...

I finally realized it was a normal issue plate. I was glad there was no one else in the car with me! [bigsmile]

On a driver training car LOL002. But funnier was the two "L" plates with an extra "O" plate between them (as per the logo on their web site). :)

Hello, all. I got lost on the site, and ended up here. But since I am, I should mention that in the parking lot of my building is a Mazda Miata with the license plate "YEEHAW". ;-)

Sounds more like something you would see on a "pickemup" truck.

Annihilannic, to those of us that have lived in Commonwealth countries, this is pretty funny, but to Yanks and others, it will need a bit of an explanation (which I'll leave up to you).

Oh... right... you don't have "L" plates for learner drivers there then I take it? In Australia we have "L" plates for learners (must be accompanied), "P" for provisional drivers (red ones for the first year, speed limited, green ones for the second and third years... or something, both with 0 alcohol limit, and the system varies from state to state).

Do you have any equivalent in the New World?
