Glenn started a thread where he showed off his new license plate. (It's an awesome plate, at that!) Rather than hijack his thread, I thought I'd start a new one and see who's got what for a vanity or unusual license plate. Here's mine:

SHARKB8

I used to be a diver for the state of Maine. :biggrin::biggrin::wink:

By the way, Glenn's thread can be seen here:

a few years ago, as I began to feel my age I bought an old BMW convertible, my plates are German for crisis.

Mine is an Auburn University scholarship (vanity) plate.

TR BLU (true blue)

I have also adopted it for my investment group LLC and now my pen business.:biggrin:
 
I have an 07 HHR, it reminded me of the old milk trucks that came to my moms house when I was little so I got this

I dunno if I posted in the other thread mentioned, but here are a couple of the cleverest I have ever seen:

IML8IML8 - on a white Volkswagen Rabbit

GSNDHT - on an Isuzu (think about it)

and on my 1985 Corvette, which I built as an experiment to see how much power I could get out of a computer controlled engine - TYR FRYR

The vanity plates in this thread are awesome - I'd love to see more.

Cheers!

Gary

P.S. The power achieved was never dyno'd but I blew up a professionally built T700-R4 tranny on the first day out, and then threw a rod (spun a bearing at 6K+, ground down the crank, and THEN threw a rod) on the second day out. It was indeed a tire fryer, frighteningly so, but I guess modern commercial parts ain't up to the task. It sure was fun while it lasted ;) Equally applicable, and based on the tranny, would have been TYR BRKR ... All 4 gears, baby, yeah!

P.P.S. If you're still scratching your head about the Isuzu, a-cHOO!

Chicken & egg?

I've had the tag for a long time, long before I discovered penmaking. Had it originally on my old 1965 Sunbeam Tiger, a British Sports car with a Ford V8, recently seen in the recent Get Smart movie - and as Tony The Tiger would say: "It's G-R-R-R-R-8!":

But then I moved it to a string of our domesticated vehicles, then a website, then my pens:

The other car currently has: GODSGR8

rNot in to vanity plates, the one that always gets me is the one on the local post mistress' car, a Chrysler CD 3000 (ugly car, but that anothe story!).

So she pays good money for this car, including the badges on the back, which say Chrysler CD 3000, guess what the number plate says (more good money) CD3000.

I just don't get it, about 12 inches above it is says the same thing in chrome?:confused:
 
Thats funny, reminds me of the one I saw on the back of a Bentley..."NOT A 300". the first is a bentley, the next a 300, similar?

The best license plate I ever heard about was one my wife saw during DC rush hour....anyone who's been to DC knows what that's like (#2 worst traffic second only to LA). She was parked on 66 and she saw a nice sports car with the plate "66 BLOWS"!:eek:

Another good one I saw was an old jalopy chevy caprice with the plate "PIIIIMP"
 
Living on the MA/NH border all my life I see to many everyday to remember them. I see a new one I like almost every week. NH has the most vanity plates per capita than any other state.(a useless piece of info floating around in my head)
 
I thought at one time Va. had the most per capita, I guess we have to get busy to "regain" the title.
When I go to the DMV office, one whole wall has sample vanity/special interest plates on it. Must be over a 100. Just heard on the news yesterday that 2 more have been released.
Anyway
Mine is POPPA 2X my wife's is NANNA 2X (proud Grandparents)
 
I saw one yesterday that was a bit morbid, but clever nonetheless. It was a plate that had a Purple Heart and handicap symbol on it, and the vanity said "OW-E". Again, morbid but I did laugh a little when I saw it:frown::redface:
 
Well, at the (rather forcefull) request of my neice's, mine is:

UNCL WES

The rudest I've ever seen was on a VERY nice Mercedes, driven by a lady who you could tell was a Cast Iron Witch, her car tag said:

WAS HIS

Funny ones I've seen locally:
ACARTAG
L8R G8R
UB6 IB9

I think the last one is on the banned list around hear. I know there is a national list and I think some states ban additional ones.
I know i have seen so many that I liked but I forget them. I have a memory problem. I can tell you al kinds of useless info from years ago, but I can't tell you more inportant things I talked about yesterday. I'm only 34 now, I worry how bad it will be in another 20 years.:biggrin:
