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?

I was at the mall the other day. Driving into the parking lot was a BMW with "BONEDR" on the license plate. I made the assumption that the driver was a chiropractor or an orthopedist. I saw the driver in the mall and asked him his specialty. He stated matter-of-factly without a flinch or a smile: "I am a urologist."

It occurred to me about five minutes later what the plate meant.

Randy - I'm sure LizSara wasn't being horrid, just a bit sarky.

I saw one this morning - C1 DNA

Would that this belonged to a forensic scientist, but I guess it's more likely to be someone's initials.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

A few vanity plates I noticed on a car trip last week:
SPN2WIN on a Jeep
BRENA EV on a Suburban
DOCDIVA on a Tahoe
SNOWOLF on an S-10 type small truck
NENA J on a Hummer
and YOGI 06 on an early 90s car I didn't recognize.

Seen on the way into work this morning:

F1 LOVER

Geek that I am, I'm still trying to figure out if there's an alternate translation than "Help Lover."

Perhaps we should start including the meanings in hidden text. There are a few of these I'm not so sure I get.

SPN2WIN - do you suppose this is a huge wheel of fortune fan? Or if you were in Vegas, perhaps roulette.

The plate had a little American Flag on it.

I honestly have no clue what they meant by SPN2WIN, I just happened to see it. They are all plates in Michigan.

The DOCDIVA is actually one I have seen many times as the person works somewhere in the same building I do. That person has cut me off several times ...

I once saw a Mustang with a plate with: IH8Z28 on it.
Probably not a big Camaro-fan.... ;-)

On the way home this evening:

DUKE.EDU

Being so close to Duke's campus, I assume the car belongs to someone who is more than just a fan.

Oh, and, though it wasn't a license plate, I think this is close enough to being on topic....

Also on the way home today I passed a Ford Festiva. It didn't appear to be in particularly good shape, and it has to be at least 15 years old (I just looked at the production years on wikipedia). In the back window was a "for sale" sign. They are asking $3500.

That struck me as VERY funny.

Maybe they just omitted the decimal place after the 5 [smile]

Awesome.

Another one this morning that I recall seeing before somewhere on the freeway drive in.
On a van from the early ninties I would guess.
