Vanity Plates

[Jared Lash]

Normally I hate vanity plates but today I saw one that made me laugh.

This morning I saw a guy driving a Honda Odyssey whose license plate read 2001HAL.

I thought that was awesome.

Anyone else?

Okay, I don't get that. And normally I try to just play it off, but I really want to know what that's funny.

But the Atwater one is good.

I thought it might have to do with that. But now that I know where the HAL part comes from, I can appreciate the joke enough to chuckle.

You just made me feel old...

Meh. Vanity plates don't say that much to me...

Bumper stickers on the other hand...

Those are good. I have a sort of a vanity plate. No sayings or anything, but I opted for the plate that supports my alma mater.

edit: Not my actual plate. That's the state-provided example. However, when I was looking at buying a Chevelle SS, I was going to get the Spring Hill College plate w/ SS396 rather than the SHC#. SHC396 is already taken, and in Alabama, the collegiate plates can only be transferred to a spouse or child, and only if the vehicle is transferred also.

I like how the state plate says 420 lol

I have a vanity on Duster.

That license plate is one letter off from being a stoner's dream.

There's a car that rolls around town here, he drives at least 5 mph under the speed limit with the plate ISLOFU2.

 

[syciprider]

Mine says SNWNME.
Few can figure it out.

Two clever ones that I saw years ago come to mind:

"UB6-IB9"

The father of a drummer I played with was a gyno. His plates were:

"BPDITWW"

Here's a clue to figure it out. "B" stands for Best and "WW" stands for Whole World. Keep his profession in mind.

a guy I work with has "10-8 Y-2". It's the local police 10 code for "clear from the traffic stop/warning given". I'd guess that he'll never be pulled over... ever.

I was stuck living/working in NoVA earlier this year and it seemed like vanity plates were a requirement down there.

yeah, but a majority of them are pretty lame. such as "06 BMW" or "2005 C5" etc etc.

my theory is why spend the money on the vanity plate that says the same thing as the badges on the trunk. a person has already paid for that advertising, why do it again?

On my mom's 64 1/2 mustang, her plates were ITSABAM

Its A Bad Ass Mustang

Mine was $40 a year, not that expensive, and it can make a car stand out even if it says something lame.

It makes remembering your licence plate number pretty easy too. Not that it should be difficult, hell I have my VIN memorized.
