Vanity plates

Virginia has more than the other 49 states combined.

 

I'm glad this is a known trend. Holy fuck, Virginia.

 

It's only like $10 a year for the plate.

One guy I work with seems to get the plate for $10, take it off, hang it in his garage and then get a new one. They don't ask you for the plates back unless you want like a $5 refund or something like that.

My father-in-law got a vanity plate for my wife years ago. It read "ISGNFU."

He thought people would read it as "I sign for you" since my wife knows sign language.

My wife didn't like it. He still has the plate.

 

I've had vanity plates once. And I've been dared to get RG3-related plates. Pondering it.

 

One of the writers / producers of the movie Airplane had a vanity plate that said "BOBS MG". People would stop at a red light and yell over to him, "That's not an MG." He'd reply, "That's OK. I'm not Bob."

All that way just for the occasional punchline. Genius.

 

Someone in a neighborhood near mine, on my dog-walking route: "OUR BENZ"

Act like you've been there before!

 

That is fantastic.

 

That's about the best reason ever to get a vanity plate.

 

My best friend in high school (driving his dad's car at the time) had TI 3VOM, which is MOVE IT in a rear-view mirror.

 

So you're the Ass Man?

 

See, states that require a front license tag can do that.

They're glorified bumper stickers. Some, as the content of this thread shows, are better than others.

 

My dad works for the government and said he passed a car in Maryland with a vanity plate for about a year before figuring out what it meant. The plate read:

3D4D2DT

He said it took him about a year to figure out the Ds stood for DITs in morse code.
3 DITs = S
4 DITs = H
2 DITs = I

So it was morse code for SHIT. He said he laughed for about 10 minutes when he finally figured it out.

I have one, too. In Pennsylvania it's a one-time $20 fee to get one, and it's much easier to remember than what my other plates were.
