My boy and I were being silly while stuck in traffic yesterday, cracking on model names and plates. Try it, it’s fun!
Think of how many puns you can come up with using car make and model names, but they must be small enough to fit on a vanity plate. Letters and numbers acceptable, as well as understandable abbreviations, plates have a character limit of seven.
For instance:
If I had a Jeep, it’d be a black one and the plate would read BAABAA.
If I drove a Ford ranger, the plate would read LONE, or maybe SPACE.
If I bought an Explorer, I’d get a plate that said DORA.
Don’t know if you mean that’s the correct German pronunciation, but even the TV & radio commercials use the American “OW-dee” pronunciation all over the US of A, so it does work stateside.
If I had a Ford Pinto, I’d have gotten “XPLODER” (one letter away from their other model, I always say).
Saw a black Honda Civic the other day, “riced up” as I like to say. But the license plate said “ARIAN”. I thought “son of a bitch! Skinheads in a ricer? Dumbass can’t even spell – he’s one letter off!”
Then I passed the car, and noticed a group of Asian teenagers therein, and laughed. They were STILL one letter off… from ASIAN.
Honda Accord: IAN
Honda Civic: DUTY
Mercury Cougar: MLNCAMP
Chevrolet Blazer: JACKET or FIRE, depending on how you define “Blazer”. TRAIL would also work.
Yugo: YOU STOP
Ford Pinto: HIT ME (especially if the driver works as a blackjack dealer)
Dodge Dart: BOARD
Dodge Ram: MEMORY
GMC Sierra: NEVADA
