This was the license plate I saw yesterday on the way home from work.
A Wisconsin driver with the wording FELCH MI on the back of his truck. Nice.
I am not kidding.
Now, I realize the guy was probably from Felch Michigan, but common, ya think the guy gets ribbed on a daily basis or what?
Ribbed? If’n he’s got a considerate partner.
One can hope.
I meant rimmed, not ribbed.
I used to have a friend who lived between Felch and Hiscock* in Ann Arbor, MI
I lived in Ann Arbor 6 years. I was mighty skeptical of your tale. But damn it, googlemaps backs you up. Felch and Hiscock are parallel roads in Ann Arbor.:eek: That kid lived way the hell off main campus though.
Here in Phoenix I saw a red pickup with the AZ license plate HOTKARL.
I took a picture but my cell phone ate it.
About three years ago some friends and I saw the funniest plate ever while driving past the DC area. Here it is. No idea how that got past the DMV.
That’s pretty cool, but why does that car have room for two license plates?
I’m cracking up!
Here’s a map: Google Maps
That is fully awesome.
I can see a simple solution here: motor vehicle licence issuers should be required to hire 14 year old boys to review all vanity plate requests. Anything that makes them giggle isn’t allowed.
I know Felch, MI well. Actually, I’m related to most of the people in the area. Nice place, especially in the summer. I wonder which cousin got those?
But I sure wouldn’t put that on my license plate.
I’m guessing aftermarket bumper.
That “kid” was a gen-u-ine grownup ™ who worked for the U in an off-campus location and made it his personal mission to stay as far the hell away from undergrads as is humanly possible in Ann Arbor. So I’m quite sure it suited him just fine. 
I lived in Ann Arbor for 7 years, after I graduated college (from William & Mary).
OK, how about a license plate and a toaster oven? And fifty bucks.
Oh, damn, I need all of those! Sold!
I thought that, too. But then I realized that the bumper would be designed for the car, and the car already had the plate somewhere else. Perhaps he’s going to replace the trunk, too, and just hasn’t gotten around to it yet?
To continue the hijack, is it common in other parts of the country for cars (especially low riders) to drive around for months coated with primer gray?
I remember a cartoon from a MAD magazine back in the '70s. A guy has spent a lot of time and money restoring his car. His friends congratulate him on his workmanship. He says, ‘There’s just one more thing…’ and sprays a fender with primer. His griends, aghast, ask him why he did that. 'If I didn’t do it, people would think I’m finished! :eek: ’
This is just a WAG, but maybe he put the license plate down there instead of on the trunk in hopes of eluding any red light or toll booth cameras. Maybe they can’t read the plate effectively - notice it’s angled toward the ground. Probably not against code, but it might work.
