Funny vanity plates you've seen lately

…GrandMother…?

I think the first version of the Beetle, or possibly the prototype in Hitler’s time, was called the “Kraft durch Freude (?) wagen” which in German meant “strength-through-joy car”. (My interpretation of this is probably extremely mangled.) But the abbreviation was “KdF-wagen”. And of course “ja” is German for “yes”.

On a new-style VW bug , yellow with black stripes- BZZZZ

I saw a new Corvette that had this for a license plate: IMCOPB8.
True, dat.

Aw - thanks for the sherman edumacation, Sunspace!

‘Grand’ - d’oh! Why didn’t I think of that..? (Well, now that I *am *thinking about grandmothersI’dlovetofuck, I know why I didn’t [want to] think of that..)

My apologies - I should have explained more thoroughly.

Yes, I interpreted GMILF to mean ‘Grandmother I’d Like to Fuck’ - and really, the woman driving could have been in her mid 40s or early 50s and not bad at all from a prurient perspective. If she had her kids fairly young (<25), and so did her kids, I think she would qualify as a GMILF to the right eyes, although I think it’s a bit odd to drive around advertising oneself as such.

KDF JA: Sunspace was correct - the Nazi Party was big on “Strength Through Joy” and the KdF-wagen was part of the way it was promoted. I interpreted the plate to mean something like, “Strength through joy, oh yes.”
As a bonus, I remembered one I saw years ago. California has a custom plate you can get, a portion of the fees for which go to protect the oceans or something. Anyway, the picture on the plate is of a whale’s flukes above the water. The plate number on this particular car? HARPOON.

There’s a BMW in the lot at work with a plate that reads SPLIFF.
I saw a red Saturn Vue the other day with an OH-WE-OH plate.
The Computer Science teacher at my wife’s high school has 101010, which is deep in nerd.
My CS teacher waaay back in the day had CHR 32 with a frame that read “The Final Frontier.”

There’s an F-350 in the parking lot at work with the plate “MMMMEAT” :cool:

For the nerds-in-training:

101010 = 42 in binary

42 = The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything to the Cult of Adams

the Cult of Adams = If you qualify, you’ll be contacted.

Love it!
