Explain this license plate to me

Driving up the road I saw a license plate that says “PARKAV”. I assume it means Park Avenue.

Underneath it, however, it said something like “Making our streets better for nature”, and it had a picture of a large bluebird.

I don’t understand what one had to do with the other. Park Avenue is usually a symbol for a rich, expensive street. Most of the time, rich and expensive don’t go together on face value with conservatism.

I’m not saying rich people don’t necesarily conserve. I’m just saying that the two don’t seem to go together very well. Am I explaining myself at all? That man throwing up (see my Pit thread) really disturbed me.

Was the car a Park Avenue?

Elenia28 is a :wally

:o

If it makes you feel any better, I’m trying to figure out why there’s a license plate on a car near my house that reads MOMBAG. Really, wtf?

It doesn’t make me feel any better. If it was something painfully obvious and I got it, maybe then. But I don’t get it either!

Parkay® is a margarine, and it has become a joke nickname for people named Parker, Park, and Park Avenue.

Elenia28, what say we go find a corner to cry in together? We’re clearly hopeless. :smiley:

In an effort to salvage this thread, I submit the best license plate I’ve ever seen:

Picture a classic rust bucket with the license plate 186KMPS.

NO! The putz is the person who puts a PARKAV plate on a Park Avenue. Or the guy who drives around here in that small yellow truck. The one with the windshield decals that spell YELLOW TRUCK*. Or windshield decals that say MUSTANG, or JAGUAR or whateverthefuck. We KNOW what car you’re driving!! We can see it! What’s the deal with these people!?

*I’ve still don’t know for sure if this is a parody of the same phenomenom I’m bitching about or if this person falls into this category. If he’s being funny, then I like him.

Here’s a painfully obvious one for you. My wife actually called me at work and said “There’s a car in front of me with a plate that says 'F-U-R–B-A-N” and underneath it says ‘Animal Liberation.’"
‘um okay?’
“What does it mean?”
“What do you mean what does it mean?”
“Let me guess, there’s a Peta sticker too?”
“A what sticker…no”
So I explained it to her, she replied with something along the lines of “Oh. I thought they wanted to put all the animals in zoos (or jails, or captivity, I don’t remember)”
On her defense I think it was a brain fart.

Sure but I don’t wanna cry. Let’s go kill some more brain cells. Pick your poison.

:smiley:

I see a lot of Civics and Accuras with windshield banners that read “Powered by HONDA”. Who makes the engines that Civics and Accuras are normally powered by? :confused:

Is it? In Lexington, Kentucky, Park Avenue is in a fairly lousy neighborhood, with below average housing costs. I would know. I grew up there.

I am referring to two things: a) the Monopoly Board, and B) personal experience in where every Park Avenue I’ve seen has been ritzy. So no definitive data, sorry. :slight_smile:

Excellent.

Grr. I kept thinking “kilometres per second”.

One of my all-time favorite bumper stickers, from the 55 mph speed limit days, for those who remember the Highway Patrol slogan of that era:

“186,000 miles per second – It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.”

My all-time favorite custom license plate: “ECCL12 8”. :smiley:

Oooh, I hate this too! My neighbor’s car says JAG4*** (with***being her initials) and it bugs me! We know it’s a Jag, for heaven’s sake!

But I saw one on an RX-7 the other day that I kinda liked…RX7of9

OK! a license plate thread!

Best to date:
