OT: Quick Break. Personal Plates.

[Kibitzer]

A long off-season is now underway. So let's have an enjoyable "OT discussion," OK? Today, Personal (or Vanity) License Plates.

Mrs. Kibitzer just got hers (new rule in CT permits 7 letters/digits). It reads:

GR8GRMA​

I'm equally pleased with mine:

SPEC OPS​

Years ago, a driver must have really liked his Chrysler model:

XCARGO​

While driving in Mass., we one spotted this:

AHTIST​

My all-time favorite was the classy and creative message on the plate of a barber in Fitchburg:

NEXT​

OK, Boneyarders, your turn.

Do you have a personal plate?
Have you seen any interesting ones?
Have any suggestion? (e.g., MORGAN3)​

GO!

Thinking they might have liked snails.

I once spotted a very, very plain looking Chevy Impala in northern Virginia. The type you'd normally associate with government issue, but it wasn't.

Anyway, silver/gray Impala, blackwall tires. Blah. About as blah as you can get.

The license plate?

....CAR

Give the guy credit. He was driving a Chrysler X-Car model, briefly popular then.

Have a lot of fun with the plate I got for the wife - and the state wouldn't let me get it until it all became computerized - too risque, they said. Especially nice since she does have it in a church parking lot a great deal. First three letters of her first and last name - BARHOP

My fav in San Francisco 10sNE1

While visiting ursusminor in Gettysburg some years back, I saw an all-black Chrysler muscle car, dark-tinted windshield, sharp angles, etc.

The plate just said VADER


then, there's this one..http://i.imgur.com/qMjjcJN.jpg

 

[bags27]

actually my fav, but I figure this post will get zapped, San Franciso in the early 1970s: FKNXN.

Kibitzer - with all your other medical history, I hadn't realized you also had issues with your eyes! Really sorry to hear that!

 

[pinotbear]

Then, there was the big brown Bentley, probably a model from the 1950's, that I used to see around Noank, CT once in a while.

All the plate said was QE 3

 

[Kibitzer]

My fav in San Francisco 10sNE1

It took me a while but did I (finally) get it? Short for "Tennis, anyone?"

 

[meyers7]

Well done on this one.

 

[ctfjr]

Well, my wife's Jeep Cherokee is RED-JEEP
My very modified Subaru STI is OMG-FAST
My Yamaha FJR1300 is CT-FJR
My old Honda Goldwing was AU-WING
My old red Nissan 350Z was MYREDZ

 

[meyers7]

Don't even know if this one was specialized.

 

[HuskyNan]

Nah, a post & license plate that gets around the filter deserve to stay.

 

[JimGunther]

Mine is probably too "IN" for many to understand:

I built a replica of the iconic British sports car - the Lotus 7.
However, mine has about 4 times the horsepower of the original provided by a mid-90s Camaro V-6 engine.
The plate is "LOTUS-6" - Now that 7 characters are available, I may upgrade to "Lotus V6"
Then again, I might go whole hog for "LOTUS V8" and let folks guess<G>

 

[HuskyNan]

I took this photo with my phone. I saw this car on I84 as I was headed to Gampel for the first game of the NCAAs. The license plate is ECTO VII. There's a Ghostbusters logo on the side of the car.

Seen in a resort in Leelenau, Michigan in the mid 70's at a fancy resort...

My daughter's Focus has a license plate I got through the 82nd Airborne Assn. It has a little parachutist badge on the side and the word "paratrooper" along the bottom. Her plate:

DADISA​

When she got into a little fender-bender a few years ago, the cop was asking the usual questions:

Q: "Huh? Your Dad is a. . . what?"
A: "Keep reading."
Q: "Oh, your Dad is a paratrooper?"
A: "Yup."
Q: "I'll give you a warning."​

Yes, a collaboration between Iaccoca and the EPA. What more need be said.
