Custom Licence Plates — Seen in the Wild

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Somebody somewhere had to be so hipped on the topic they started the La Leche League International - Breastfeeding Support (llli.org). Many people around the world work for or volunteer for them.

Although perhaps the car owner is actually a dairy farmer.


A couple days ago I saw BITC0IN where the oh was almost certainly a zero. The i’s were definitely not 1s; our state’s typeface for plates makes that difference real obvious. Not so with O/0; it’s surprisingly ambiguous unless you can see one of each.

The car was a recent model year Nissan. So although the owner maybe made a nice Bitcoin trade, they did not have large money involved, nor did they make a killing on medium money.

I saw two good ones yesterday:
MADMAGZ
K9DROOL

123

I think a better response would be :

Do’h! Discourse!

124

If you’re trying to shill for crypto, maybe imply that you can buy a more expensive car…

125

Likely an urban legend but there was a story of a beat up VW with a “Thank You, PaineWebber” license frame.

126

Given when and where I saw the Nissan, I had the same “damning with faint praise” reaction. If he (it was a “he”) was bragging, he wasn’t bragging about much vs. the audience he had.

127

Maybe it was a warning to others.

128

Like the very old joke:

I went to Las Vegas in a $5,000 vehicle: my shiny new Buick.
I came home from Las Vegas in a $50,000 vehicle. The Greyhound bus.

Oops. I hate it when that happens. :wink:

129

Seen several times on a Hummer: 8APRIUS

130

I did see in Reno a BMW with the plate 8 SPOT. At that time the payout on an 8-spot keno ticket was about enough to pay for a new Beemer.

131

In the ski area parking lot yesterday were two Ram 1500 pickups with the license plates BIGSEXY and PORSCHE.

132

I saw one a few days ago - an old beater of a car, with YEAH as its plate.

133

This thread just turned a month old today and that one is a great counterpoint to your OP.

I’ve had great fun keeping an eye out for interesting plates to post. Only seen a couple, but the hunt is almost as fun as the kill.

134

I saw an interesting car and plate combo today. The car was a smallish one (I didn’t notice the make), and bright red.

With a narrow white stripe running from back to front, over the trunk and roof and presumably to the hood.

And on the stripe on the back, there was a green evergreen tree.

Licence plate: BEIRUT

So this:

:lebanon:

135

Many years ago I was driving in San Jose CA and saw a car with the plate WOZ. Yep, it was Steve Wozniak.

136

Which reminds me of the time in the 80s I was driving down Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive and passed a fire-engine red Rolls Royce Corniche convertible, license plate “MR T.” Indeed it was him. We shared big waves and smiles.

137

I ordered my custom vanity plate this week. Decided to nix the Simpsons reference and go with something a bit more refined: a Monty Python reference. I had to order a custom plate frame to really make it work.

I’ll post pics when it arrives. In the meantime, for those interested, watch Life of Brian again, unless you’re one of those that can quote the entire movie by heart.

138

I saw this:

8Y8GC

License plate today. Any idea what it means?

Last post 3 hours ago, man:

Eighty-eight GC? So perhaps 88 grandchildren?
