When I was a kid I remember seeing a game show called Bumper Stumpers where there were three contestants and they’d show a license plate and the people had to figure it out. I think it did not last long on the air but I liked it!
I used to live near someone with a Mini with the license plate ITTYBITY. Always liked that one.
You would love the one I have for Bessie (Google image search “Road Kow”) ------ AM1SH. I managed to get that when I found out AMISH was already taken. :smack:
I was going to post that one. Except the one I heard about was just ML8 ML8. Perhaps some state allows 8 letter vanity plates, but most restrict them to 6 or 7 letters. Anyway, I heard about that one way back in the 70s or 80s, so it’s, well, call it a classic.
When I was in graduate business school, in the late '80s, I had a classmate who was pretty much an unapologetic douchebag. He was absolutely full of himself, and fully believed he was God’s gift to women.
Personalized plates were still a fairly novel thing, and whatever screening system the Wisconsin DMV had for plate requests somehow let this guy’s request through:
PEN1S
When I saw the plates (which he was, in fact, quite proud of), all I could say was “wow.”
