So, j0ckser, it sounds as though you met up with SIO2DRA (to have found out that she is a geologist). Good onya! ![[2thumbsup]](/data/assets/smilies/2thumbsup.gif "[2thumbsup] [2thumbsup]")
Anything else interesting that we should know about? <cheeky grin>

The plate was a plate in Michigan, just a normal plate, so no special letters or symbols next to it.
And it was indeed on a Smart Car. I can assure you of that.
Using the MI License plate availability checker shows that SMRTRNU is indeed taken.
Like aforementioned, I was tired, as I usually am on the way into work (not so much that I drive bad though
). I saw what I believed was the meaning, and messed up the letters in first post.
Michigan does have a limit of 7 characters at the moment.
I still think it means 'Smarter than you'.
All the talk of plates has me kind of wanting to get a personalized plate.

the woman in question was a friend of a friend. he put the riddle to me but i had no clue how to unravel it (he eventually told me). though it was half a lifetime ago, it stuck with me since. and sorry i have no info about her other than that.

I, too, was marveling at the length and longevity (3+ months and counting) of this thread.

I've often thought about what I would put on a vanity plate. Not that I would actually do it...to me, it's not really worth the extra cost. But I think I would go with something like this...
HUSRDDY
There's no need for me to put a spoiler, I'm sure you'll all be able to get it from my two hints...
HINT #1: I now live in Indiana
HINT #2: I became a father about 14 months ago
I use this moniker (fully spelled out) as my fantasy football team name.

The main actual support forum I use on tek-tips is the Delphi forum.
We have a regular poster (although I do not recall seeing him in the past couple weeks) there who uses 'whosrdaddy' as his handle.
License plate of the morning, no clue what it means:

I'm amaused that this is seen as a long thread. In one non-tech forum where I hang out (not here), we have a thread that has several million messages and several with over 10000 messages. Those threads have been active since oh 2002 I think and still going strong.

Saw a black grand prix on the way home yesterday with BLK3FAN.
I can understand the black fan part, being a black car, but not the 3. Any ideas? (unless maybe it was a 2003 model year, but that is as close as I can come up with anything)

Why would anyone get a vanity plate like this one? Especially someone with her rap sheet. She was asking for it.
