Vanity plates 13

[rjoubert]

I was driving behind a Honda this morning with a very clever vanity plate. It had the letters LI, followed by the cent symbol, then finished with PL8.

Have you seen any creative vanity plates lately?

Saw this plate on a farmer's truck at a local farmer's market years ago, he was selling eggs:

My vanity plates:

'02 Harley-Davidson: NOFUN My standard reply to queries is "Yep, serious as a heart attack."

'92 Dodge Stealth: CRM 114 Not only is this a vanity plate using the same schema [3 letters/3 numbers] as a standard plate, it's a movie trivia answer. Can you name three movies it has appeared in?

 

[SamBones]

Had to Google for "CRM 114". Very interesting. Almost the same thing as George Lucas' "THX 1138".

Wikipedia had the most concise collections of facts...

SamBones,

I was all excited about acme.com - I thought I was finally going to be able to get some rocket-propelled roller skates and a portable hole. Alas, I was disappointed.

It's a cool site and I bookmarked it, but I still want my Acme Spring-Powered Shoes!

While looking for info for this post, I came across this little gem and I just have to share:

My favorite part: "Indeed, it is safe to say that not once has an explosive purchased of Defendant by Mr. Coyote performed in an expected manner."

Not too far from my house is a mercedes convertible that has the delightful vanity plate of LISA BJ. Always makes me wonder - are those her initials or is it a form of advertising?

Years ago, there was a Datsun 280Z that has the plate ZEHICLE.

I saw a WV Beetle one day with a plate of Y2KBUG. I presume it was a model year 2000 Beetle

[flapeyre]

There have been numerous stories about motorists who regretted their choice of personalized plates such as NONE, NOPLATE, and so forth.

Seems that every time an unregistered vehicle gets a parking citation, it's entered in the system using one of these, and the owner has to wade through a Byzantine layer of red tape to get the charges taken off his/her record.

I recall an executive at "BYTE Magazine" was rejected for his plate request, "BYTE ME".

All of our cars have vanity plates.

My car is MS DBA (Microsoft DBA)
My motorcycle is mrdenny

When I worked at Earthlink, a unix admin's car had the license plate REBOOT.

The other tower in the office buildings I work in hosts one of the root DNS servers. There is a car with the plate "1 DNS 1". I wonder what system he works on.

I know someone with a New Beetle that has SPLAT.

I have a 1st generation Prius - a gas/electric hybrid.

My license plate is: VLT WGN

On more than one occasion I've had confused readers point out that my car is not a Volkswagon.

Is it too late to add an 'O' to it, to make VOLTWGN?
I think the state will let you have 7 letters.
