Do you ever compare figuring out the meaning of forum user names to figuring out personalized licens

wingedliberty

I see combinations to letters/numbers/words and sometimes just when I think
I know what they mean, I get floored.

I like simple user names like my own, or barberlover, dcamfranklin, cladking,
wondercoin, supercoin, wayneherndon, no mystery there.

,but sometimes a little mystery is fun.

I'm still trying to figure mine out.

BTW, my license plate is:

CAPTOOL

Who can guess what it means?

Russ, NCNE

Russ:
I would recommend the following license plates for you.

1. 1964DCAM
2. AH-KING
3. MR.70
4. PROOFLIKE
5. SPECIMEN

Which one do you like the best?

Brian

jbsteven

the license plate on my Mercedes says: JODIRT

If you have seen the movie and remember his hairdo, that's me.

JB steven:
That was cool.

Brian,

We have a limit of 7 letters in this state, so that eliminates all but two of the suggestions, neither of which is particularly appealing. I'm not the king of anything, and I don't own any 70s. If we didn't have that limit, I'd like number 1: 1964DCAM. Of course, that could be condensed to 64DCAM.

In any event, my current plate has very special meaning to me and it won't be changed.

I recall seeing one here in the Ames, IA area a few years back actually said MANURE
I also saw a RAMPAGE but not the one who posts here.
Also yesterday a VII FE which would be a 7 iron to a golfer. Coulda inferred he was a chemist too cept iron is not in group VII of the periodic table.

Russ,

I want to say Capital Tool, but they're from India. Does it mean Captain Out Of Luck?

wingedliberty

I was thinking for mine:

1. FSB
2. 1916-D
3. 45FB
5. MS68
6. PROOF


Any thoughts?

I am leaning toward 1916-D

Russ,

Capital Tool........Malcom Forbes ???

Seth

Russ:

how about when he meets the girl at the carnival and thinks she is his sister, then has to call her his sister to ummmm well you know

Russ

Seth almost nailed it. It's Capitalist Tool, and yes it's Malcolm Forbes. I wrote him back in 1989 and asked permission to use it, (was driving a Vette at the time). He wrote me a PERSONAL letter back granting that permission! I've had it framed hanging on my wall ever since.

Russ, NCNE

ccrdragon

How about these:

HI O AG -> Hi ho, Silver
NYUKX3 -> NYUK, NYUK, NYUK (Stooges)
TIMID -> on a 4-wheel drive, massively outfitted offroad truck, no less)


BTW - don't have a clue what Russ' plate is for

wingedliberty

Russ:
That is too cool.

The license plate on my '39 DeSoto is "H 15", and it is not a specialized vanity plate, just a low numbered 1939 Washington State license plate. Only year plate to be green with gold letters to celebrate 50th year anniversary of WA state.

MadMarty

My old plates was MACGURU and FORKQ (they took that one away after a month!), and I just gave up MARTYK (It was a pickup plate). Now I have a stock all Numbers plate!

JeffinMich

I saw vanity plate in Road and Track once that said "URAPNES".

It took me a couple days to figure out...I must have been drinking a lot back then. lol.

Dog97

I tried to get a plate with something about "dog" on it years ago but dmv wanted to charge me extra.
That's bs because my buddies up @ the state pen don't charge dmv any extra so I got a standard one.

nucklehead

No comment.

RotatedRainbows

My one vanity plate is 71 BIRD because it is on my 1971 Formula Firebird.

VonZipper

VonZipper is a nickname my uncle gave me when I worked in the tobacco fields as a kid during the summer. Never knew where he got it, someone thought that they remembered a character called VonZipper who played a hood in one of the 60's beach blanket movies with avalon/funichello, maybe that's it.But I just like to tell people it from the name of the company I own.


VonZipper

wingedliberty

VonZipper was a Prussian general who fought with the armies of Napoleon.

The one given to me is (wheelchair symbol)-DMPL.. What are the odds?????

wingedliberty

Nice.

I question the logic of paying $$$ for a plate that means zilch to everyone else.Better to spend the $$$ on a windshield sticker that tells everyone what kind of POS I drive,in case they missed the 12 other emblems plastered all over the rolling rust-catcher.

I've long toyed with "fugio" for plates, but they're so strict in Indiana that it probably wouldn't "fly" anymore.

ms71

NH came out with special Veteran plates with a flag, so I got "-NAVY-"

I tried for just NAVY without the dashes, but somebody had it. Only $25 a year for a vanity plate in NH, so why not.

Outhaul

ms71,

When I lived in Nashua I had SAIL+ because SAIL was already taken. Funny, NH is the only state I know of where you can put "+" or "&" on your plate.

Cheers,

Bob

ms71

I wonder if you can get one with all dashes or plus signs, or some combination of them; or if you have to have a letter or number in there somewhere. It'd be kind of slick to have "------" as your plate.

airplanenut

Our newest car (as of Monday) still has the paper tag, and my mom didn't give me the chance to think of a cool plate

When I grow up, I'm thinking of:

CRS XVI (That's Course 16 at MIT... Aero/Astro engineering )
PILOT
PLANUT
SMRTGUY

I'll think of more

wingedliberty

Jeremy:
I have the perfect plate for you.

How about SR-71

Mine is easy - my truck plates are CODY WYO there Virginia plates and I work in Maryland talk about confusing. My wife's are a bit harder there RVAZOO -------- R Virginia Zoo ----- we have 4 dogs and a cat thats our zoo.

MadMarty

The problem here in IL, is that they raised the cost of Vanity plates. If you get them without numbers there is a one time charge of $250, then it's an extra $11 per year for the stickers. If you get them with numbers it's just $11 extra plus a one time fee of $75!

wingedliberty

An Alpha, Very nice.
I used to have a GT-V6, the Spider Veloce is nice too.

Living just north west (a few hundred miles) from Cody, Wyoming, I have to ask why these plates.

My plates are MSUZ17. If you can figure it out, let me know so I know.

My Uncle one time refered my brother to a client of his that was a lawyer. When my brother went to the lawyers` office, they chatted a few minutes after the consultation. The lawyer showed him a picture of his brand new red Lincoln Town Car. The vanity plate said " I SUE4U " . My brother brought home a packet from the lawyer office and had the lawyer posing next to the car with the vanity plate. Pretty funny to see.
