Ive started noticing that I can usually tell, at a pretty high percentage, if a guy is a douche just from looking to see if they have their names on their lisence plate. Also, their douchery goes up exponentially if they drive a PT Cruiser and are named Chad.
No offense to people who are named Chad.

The worst plate I've seen IMO was "PAIDCASH" (way too arrogant) and the best one was "X QS ME".

I must say that (although obviously a generalisation) I have found that in every case where I have actually met the person who has personalised plates - they are obnoxious, bigoted and totally selfish individuals or as you say....

In California in the late '70s people were getting plates that had phrases that could be read in a rearview mirror.
I think the drivers with their ham radio call letters on the plate are the coolest. (not)

And the same goes for t-shirts that say crap like "Too Hot" or "B**ch" and all that nonsense. What shill of a human would wear that garbage? And who the hell is proud of being or would proclaim themselves a b**ch?

That's the first vanity plate I've ever got. The state of NH came out with a new online license plate look up system where you can check availability of plates. That was available and I said "why not?"
at least it's not something like:
IXLR8
2QT4U
CUL8R
BYEBYE
I've seen all of those.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Sydney, Australia | | | What's wrong with personalized plates? My brother-in-law's initials are "SF" and he owns a 1934 Ford 3 Window Coupe hotrod.
His number plate is "SF1934".
My grandparents own a BMW 318i that has the plates "JF318I".
"JF" are the initials of my granddad.

The one I want now is "IPROLE" for my extremely mundane looking 12 year old Chevy Cavalier. (See Orwell's "1984" for explanation.)

My winter beater back then was a Datsun wagon with a replica warning sign that read Pods on Board from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
