My husband’s standard issue plate (Ontario) begins BFAT. A passerby howled his amusement - to which my husband added he’d put on 12 lbs since getting the plate. Oddly I’ve gained since then too . . . ---

My hubby and I saw a Corvette with plates that said EPICMNT (Epic Mount for all you non-World of Warcraft people out there.) ---

Months ago I saw one that said “DORADA” on a Ford Explorer. It took me awhile to get it but it was on the freeway and I was driving behind it so I had plenty of thinking time. I chuckled. Dora the Explorer ---

(Denied…) My neighbor, who strongly resembles Leon from _The Professional_, has a vanity plate which reads: “HEAD STN” – I’m thinking about approaching him with a job offer. 😉 ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Just saw “SB TO PV” (spaces included), which puzzled me. Does it mean the car was a gift, from, say, Sam Booth to Pam Vinson? Or does it mean “Southbound to Puerto Vallarta,” or something else? Any guesses? Do you live in the South Bay? I think it means South Bay to Palos Verdes. Or Santa Barbara to Palos Verdes? San Bernardino to Palos Verdes? ---

> [@Sunspace](#): > > “Entomology!” 🙂 Right in one! I somehow also forgot to mention my favorite, “ICNTSPL” (I can’t spell.) Sadly, I can’t find my picture of it anymore. There’s also a guy who lives in my apartment complex who has the plate “CDN EH” (Canadian, eh?) that makes me smile. ---
