All them crazy vanity plates

Today, I saw a plate that said "IAMAWMD"

Tickled me in a way.

What great vanity plates have you seen or had?

IMA CNM
I'm a Certified Nurse Midwife. It's in my pictures....

GOR 1 FL

But he also still had a Dean sticker on the car too...

Mine is DSCULLY

:)

there's some weirdo in virginia whose license plate says "fruvous." what the hell's a fruvous?

I had that plate in Indiana... because I thought it sounded cool.� Some guy left a note on my car that said, "Fruvous?� That takes MOXIE."� and an email address.� I wrote him and he told me about this great Cher/They Might Be Giants/Journey sounding group called Moxy Fruvous.

The really ironic thing is that my other car had a vanity plate that said MOXY.� I'd have looked totally obsessive if anyone had any idea what it was about.� Thank God for obscure Canadian groups. :-)

heh. the funny thing was someone once asked me what it meant, because they knew French, and couldn't figure out what "Fru" meant.

Speaking of Fruvous license plates...

For a few years, I had the FRUVOUS plate in Ohio. I moved to California, and let my tags expire for a good two years while I was there. Anyway, I was parked on a street in Santa Cruz and I let the meter expire by a couple minutes. They had given me a ticket in that time! Not being one to bow down to The Man, I threw it away and moved on with my life.

A couple months later, I got an email from Jonathan, who lives up in the Bay Area where I lived. Apparently he has the "FRUVOUS" plate in California, and he kept getting these things in the mail complaining that he hadn't paid his ticket. He sends me a mail asking "hey, were you in Santa Cruz on xxx date? And do you have a blue Honda?" It turns out they had neglected to look at what state the plate was from when they wrote the ticket. He told them that his car doesn't match the description, nobody had to pay the fine, and no one was the wiser. :)

Hey, that was my story! :)

There was a white car painted with holstein spots, and the license plate read (no kidding)
MOOOOO

I'd never have believed it if I didn't see it for myself.

Can you imagine what the report would be like if this car was the getaway car in a bank robbery?

"umm, . . . it looked like a cow, but it was a car.� And the license plate is an M, then five O's . . . Mooooo."

I was once at a light and saw the following 2 plates, side by side in front of me:
LABORQZ
BAHORQZ

One turned left, and the other went right....

I could browse all the vanity plates that were available. I thought about getting MINKCAR, but then I thought my car would get destroyed by PETA.

In college, there was this sports car that was in this dull limish green color that was pretty hideous. Apparently the owner of the car told a friend of mine that he hated the color but it was a gift from his grandmother, so he didn't have a choice in the end. The license plate for it was BABYPUKE.

drove behind this one for a half-mile the other morning:

AUIELOX

think about it, ah, *periodically*. heh.

I got it!

It was elementary my dear Kat.

I got it!!

hee.

*groan* nice :-D

-- Pauley

I'm slow.� sniff.

something about oxygen?

EDIT:

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHforgetitIgetitnow!!!!

Arrrrrgh.� This is driving me nuts!!!!!!� I should be able to get this!!!

Oh, DUH!� Jeez, I'm slow.

In a similar vein, I saw this one:

H2O2BLN

Is that 'H2O2 BLN' or 'H2O 2BLN'?

And does anyone else remember Bumper Stumpers, the old game show?

It is H2O2 BLN

with subscripts it would be H₂O₂ BLN

You are correct sir!

I had to ask to be sure, even though that's how I read it the first time. I've got it now. :-)

*snicker* I've been looking at BLN and thinking it's "blown," like they're talking about a supercharger on the car, or something.� But I figured it out now. :-P

-- Pauley

this one i had to look up...

wouldn't bld make more send than bln though?

or do i have the second part wrong?

I think you've got it. I'd rather have seen both, with an 8-digit number: H2O2BLND. (makes it a little more obvious)

-- Pauley

Pauley said: I'd rather have seen both, with an 8-digit number: H2O2BLND.

Me too, but there's a 7-character limit on California plates.

Ahhhhhhh.

I know it varies by state... NY has 8, PA has 7...

-- Pauley

That makes sense, NY is a bigger state.

Since when?

since somehow I was reading the other state as PA not CA.

Well what do you expect from a blonde?

....Okay, I am TOTALLY lost. I will be the big loser and come out and say that I totally am not a nerd in this regard and am stupid... what's it mean?

What is Au on the periodic table? + IELOX.

It's aurum of course.

I don't get it...is this an American thing??

*slaps forehead*

lol, I'm so slow.

I saw a license plate some time last week that read "IMA NERD". I got very excited and seriously considered following the car until it stopped and hugging whoever owned it.

LG&ARY

the question is this - what kind of car did that plate appear on?

Subaru Legend?

A P "T Cruise"r?

I guess nobody got my joke...

Acura made the Legend.� Subaru makes the Legacy.

Aah yes you're right. I always get stuff like that mixed up. :)

Can you really get an ampersand on a license plate?

apparently you can in VA, where I saw this one. it didn't look painted...

My friend got the special NY plate with the RIT logo on it. The plate title? "NO SUN"

He drives a Dodge Eclipse.

OMG. So appropriate. Especially because they're in Rochester. ;o)

I once saw the plate 1GGL000. I thought it was some Inuit thing until I realized it wasn't a personal plate.
