On second thought, someone may mistakenly assume that I'm a fan of tamponally-induced Toxic Shock Syndrome.

Joe, c'mon, you lived in California for awhile, surely you saw the loads of vanity plates here.

And, yes, I am guilty of owning a vanity plate...thank you.

As if this was not just bait to have someone ask about this so that she could get another post....shameful from a mod. :shock:

I did once see GRT BJS.

Somebody here in Washington got away with 3M TA3 for about 6 months before the Department of Licensing figured out that it read EAT ME when seen in a rearview mirror.

In that vein, here's what I've always wanted because it's my motto (you'd have to turn it upside down to read it):

A new addition to the VA vanity plate debacle:

I don't want to know what this means.

These things are totally tacky, agreed.
That said, my PARENTS decided that it would be "cute" to put vanity plates on the car that I shared with my sister, Amanda (who then went by "Mandy").

Let's combine their names, since they share the car!!!

Hence:
"TODMAN 1"

Fucking awful. I was glad to be rid of those plates. Felt like I needed to step out of that '81 Buick with a pink polo shirt and a white cardigan tied around my shoulders.

when i was in VA last year i saw a BMW with a plate that said "GRINDIN" and briefly wondered if it was one of the guys from Clipse.

Virginia has outdone itself now. Local news reports that a man in the area with the license FOSAMA has been notified by the Virginia DMV that the content of his plate is too offensive. They've determined not to renew his tags after SEVEN years. In their place, they offered him the following replacement tags:

6668UUP.

This is not a joke.

FOSAMA, you say? I would suppose the vehicle owner is not making a commentary on the late al-Qaeda head but is instead a pharmaceutical salesman.

Also -- shocked 6668UUP is available. Would have thought GWAR would have that locked-down.

My brother-in-law has a vanity plate with his last name on it.
It never fails to make me feel slightly queasy...

Danny White's Regrettable 'NO-TAGS' Vanity License Plate Has A Ticket To Ride -- As Do Others Around The Country

Quote:

WASHINGTON -- WRC-TV/NBC4 brings news of Danny White, a D.C. resident whose vanity license plates got him some $20,000 in parking tickets.

White's plates read “NO-TAGS.” 25 years ago, when White got the plates, he thought that “NO-TAGS” would be funny. Now?

“I’ve got enough tickets here to plaster my whole car.” Three hundred dollars, $500, $700 for overdue tickets. Because if the city finds an abandoned vehicle or a car missing its plates, guess who gets it? Danny White. “It had to be $20,000 in tickets. Over $20,000.”

As it turns out, White has company. In 1979 a Los Angeles man named Robert Barbour ended up with vanity plates reading "NO PLATE." Barbour received some 2500 parking tickets before the DMV asked that law enforcement write "NONE" rather than "NO PLATE" when delivering citations to cars missing their license plates.

Another Californian, Nick Vautier, ran into similar trouble with his "NV" vanity plates, since law enforcement there used "NV" on tickets when a car's plates were not visible. Vautier finally gave up his plates, finding them to be too much trouble.

White told WRC-TV/NBC4 he plans to keep his "NO-TAGS" tags until the DMV pays for him to change the plates. Why doesn't he just change the plates?

“Everybody asks that magic question!” he says. “’Why don't you get rid of them?’” He says he always responds, "’Are you going to buy me new tags?’ They say, ‘No.’ I say, ‘There's no need for me to buy tags I already have.’ If you pay for it, I'll change them. If not, fix the computer."

Someone who may want to carefully consider his vanity plates is Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno. Moreno was pulled over on Feb. 1 for driving 70 mph in a 45 mph zone, proceeded to fail a sobriety test, and is now being charged with drunk and careless driving.

The vanity plates on Moreno's silver Bentley read "SAUCED."
