his…. job?

Best if you mind your own business and not mess with dad

I had personal plates when I was young. If you didn’t know me, you couldn’t figure it out. SLVR1H

Silver One Horse?

Tina is smart… not saying with Dad in the car.

Mine would be BYOB

I had “XSHYSTR” for years, until I was rear-ended twice. I thought maybe it was like hanging a bulls-eye on the back.

I keep after hubby to get me vanity plates – FLN8VE. He thinks we’ll be broken into. Pfffttt.

We used to have WEAZL 1 because of having pet ferrets for decades but people constantly asked asked us if we were lawyers except for the one person who asked if we were dentists. Turns out he was a dentist. We did NOT go to him!Long before then my hubby had the plate VIVALDI. It kept being stolen. Once we saw a photo of a European string quartet with a framed one behind them; someone had gifted it to them. While traveling on our camping honeymoon two great things happened. The first was a person on a motorcycle w the licence BACH who cut in front of us and began conducting motions. The second occurred at a gas station where the attendent looked very puzzled. As she returned to our car with the change a smile lit up her face and she excitedly exclaimed, “Vivaldi! The vampire, right?” What could we do? My hubby agreed.

A friend had FNA for a while before DPS finally figured it out.

Never wanted vanity plates. Makes the getaway car too easy to identify. IMACRK

Specialty plates…why tell the world you’re crazy?#I remember “MYOB” from a [science fiction] story by Eric Frank Russell, “And Then There Were None.”

Tag on old, worn out pickup PAID 4; on new car N DEBT or I O….

I remember a green VW Beetle with a PA plate that looked random until you read it backwards and saw it was grossly obscene. You’ll have to use your imagination on this.

Guy I used to work with had QQQQ II. I had to have it explained to me. A year or two after he started working at my place, the state refused to renew his tag. Told him it was obscene. So he got a plate that read HOLD ON, which not only had an anagram of his initials (he had two middle names), but also described what you had to do if you rode with him. About a year or two after getting HOLD ON, someone asked if he’d gotten rid of his iconic VW bug. Seems someone else in the state had released the vanity tag QQQQ II.

Best plate I ever saw was New Hampshire one, “H2ORAT”.

There’s a guy in my town with a sports car sporting the plate ‘MIDLIFE’. Geezzzzz.
