Vanity plates

North Carolina has changed plates, but it has been more than 25 years since the last wholesale change.

Some specialized plates have been unveiled. And, of course, NASCAR plates ...

Newsroom colleague had a good one: EDTIOR.

 

Undoubtedly Dean Singleton's favorite. His crowning achievement ... just ask him ...

 

Solid as fuck, as Cyrus' remedial schoolmate Ricky would say.

 

Many Springsteen fans I know have vanity plates of Springsteen songs with BRN2RN and THNDRRD (and variations of those) being the most popular.
I could try putting together a lengthier list if people are interested.

 

Reviving this thread.

Here's a whole list of plates banned in MD as of 2015, from the Baltimore Sun:

Hard to believe some people would put such things on their cars. Nasty. Most are not subtle at all.

We could almost make a Sheep game or some kind of contest out of that list. There are several that I don't get.

 

Most unintentionally funny one I saw read something like TKME2D. If it wasn't for some Disney decorations on the car, I never would have gotten the real meaning

 

The fact that it's from N.H. (Live Free or Die) is what makes it.

 

I love that fact that the motto on Washington D.C. license plates is "Taxation Without Representation."

 

This story came from the Baltimore Sun?? Sun sports columnist Pete Schmuck, who grew up in Southern California, had his request for the license plate SCHMUCK censored by the state. He made an issue out of it and the ruling was eventually overturned. I believe he has a photo of him with his SCHMUCK license plate on his Facebook page.
