Personalized Plates

[Schwinn]

I got thinking about license plates this morning (yes, again at the gym, and yes, again my thoughts went around to cheese cubes...don't ask) and personalized plates. I think it all stemmed from a conversation I had with Cheryl. I have personalized plates (she finds them pretentious), and she told me I would have to get rid of them when I became a cop, because they are a play on words with my last name. She said she didn't want someone with a beef coming after me, or even worse, her if she was driving with Gracie. I then told her that I was getting plates for her new car we're picking up tonight that say "COPS WIF". She didn't laugh. Anyway...

I personally like personalized plates as long as they are clever or funny. Just having them for the sake of having them isn't any fun. It got me thinking, what plates have you seen (and liked), or what have you come up with? Just for fun, post them here, and we'll see if we get them.

If I got a Jaguar, I'd get:
MEOW

I was going to supe up Cheryl's Civic, but still leave it plain looking. A fast car that doesn't look fast is known as a "sleeper", so I was going to get:
ZZZZZZ

For the hunter or the anti-PETA person
I 8 BAMBI

And, to be fair, for the PETA person or vegan
LUV RUFG

On a big station wagon I saw from the '60's:
LAN YOT

Optometrist
I DOC

When I was going build a really nice hot rod (or for an exotic sports car)
R U NVS

And a buddy from college had
DVS GUY

I love those. I like personalized plates that take effort to read but make sense.

Short of the like 248 bucks to get personalized plates I've been trying to come up with something I find amusing for my mustang.

What year? Is it a six or 8? If it's a six, you could go with:
LIL PONY

or

HOT 2 TRT (I'd think about that one, though)

I bought the Humane Society plate for my Volvo and it says "Dyrbil"which means costly car in Swedish,you should see people behind me trying to figure it out
On the Jeep we were boring and it simple says SWE-FRA,for Sweden(me)and France(hubby).
I love riddles and love to try to figure out peoples plates...yeah,I know I should get a life

sorry mate but i totally agree with cheryl, their tacky and pretensious

and oh so expensive here, it costs a motza to get em over here, and because so many ppl have them its hard to choose a decent one that has not already gone, andi think it is weird to put your name on your car, i bet yu ahve your name on the inside of all your underpants too

a friend of mine was an events coordinator, her company was called ENVY events. anyway she had envy on her plates, it was embarassing as she had a hot car and most ppl thought she meant envy her for the car instead of the business name.....

but if you want to be a total dag, go ahead

That's rocking Schwinn.

My lil pony is a sad lil pony. 1981 and inline 4..

LOL!! You're sooo mean!! I do agree with Cheryl though about changing your plates! Ya just never know in this day and age!

I've thought about getting personalized plates. I just can't decide(or never will) on what I'd get! I've thought about:
EXCUSE ME - for passing people
HURRY UP - for passing people
SLOW DWN - for tailgaters
IN A RUSH - because I'm always late!

OR something about Pit Bulls because they are ALWAYS with me! It's not often I drive alone!

On a BMW driven by a good looking blond >HISMONEY
On another high end European car driven by yet another woman > AILIMONY
On a huge Chevy truck I recognized a fellow Simpson's fan > CANYNARO

I considered TARDIS for my little Echo because it is so big inside (you have to be a Dr. Who fan to understand) but when I checked out the cost I thought again.

I got it in my email a long time ago.. I was told that it was a poster at a law office since then. Not sure though.

Sorry photobucket spazzed on me..

That should be enough incentive to keep any man honest.

I never understood those personalized plates. Come on people!!

Officer: "Who hit the pedestrian and took off?"
Witness: "The licence plate was 'J'" (I have actually seen one where it was JUST "J" and that was it! (I think when you get a personalized plate, it doesn't have to have a certain number of letters and numbers.)

I'd rather this:
Officer: "Who hit the pedestrian and took off?"
Witness: "I think the licence plate was 783 RTO, or was it RIO? RIQ maybe? Maybe the 8 was a B... Maybe I didn't even see a car at all!"

Muuuuch better.

Remembered one for the 90210 fans out there. Steve's Corvette's plate was
