> [@Santo\_Rugger](#): > > 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.

The car has an aftermarket “areo” kit on it. The lower rocker panels, the rear bumper (and probably the front bumper) are replaced with fiberglass units, and painted to match the car. Whoever “designed” the rear bumper put a space in the center where a plate could be mounted. Apparently the owner of the car did not want his plate in the same location as the boring ordinary Fords, so he chose to move it to the bumper. ---

[Here’s a plate](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dQuacLNyX8E/SY2kBIQVqVI/AAAAAAAACmg/-TvPORL_IrA/s1600-h/Titlegal.jpg) I saw a few years ago. Best I could figure, she either has the largest breast implants allowed by law, (as per the info in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=505142)) or she’s a paralegal. Somewhere I have a photo of my favorite plate, ORA LEE, but searches of my hard drives turn up nothing. I shall have to find the original. ---

There’s a car around here with a plate that reads BALZBUB. I wonder who the owner knew to get that one through. ---

> [@Uncommon\_Sense](#): > > 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. That was an OFFICIAL Wisconsin plate? If so, maybe the censors are just a little slow. Wouldn’t be the first time. ---

**Gfactor** , thanks for the map, but I thought I sort of implied that I’d already looked at one. Geography, directions, all that sort of stuff – not my strong suit. > [@Hello\_Again](#): > > 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). I didn’t mean that offensively. I was just sort of explaining why I’d never heard of it. I grew up an hour from Ann Arbor and my parents worked there, so the friends I made, even in college, were mostly townies. Gotta love them townies. I hope to be one someday.

> [@Musicat](#): > > That was an OFFICIAL Wisconsin plate? If so, maybe the censors are just a little slow. Wouldn’t be the first time. Yeah, no kidding- apparently there is a car in San Clemente, CA, that has a plate that reads “OBOHICA.” Indeed! There is a cool black Ninja-type motorcycle around here that sports a “NAZGUL” plate. ---

Yeah, I’ve long learned that if it’s a link to Urban Dictionary, I don’t need to know. Or at least, I need to have a gallon of brain bleach handy _shudder_. ---

I saw this license plate many years ago. It’s probably outlawed now. FAH Q ---
