> [@Carptracker](#): > > Not vanity plates, but locally, because of the luck of the draw a couple years ago, we had a rash of “time and temp” plates. Like 4AM 19F. They were everywhere. I thought it was funny, and until I saw several of them, I thought they were vanities. Most state DMV’s will disallow certain letter combinations which form dirty words or those for illegal substances. Except for the State of Florida’s, which has allowed “LSD” tags ever since I worked for them 23 years ago. ---

They also allow “FEA”, which is pretty bad when almost a majority of the population have at least a rudimentary knowledge of some Spanish. ---

I suspect that NTRPRS = Enterprise. Whether it’s a Trek fan or a business mogul is anyone’s guess. ---
