Oh, wait, I forgot I lost my FMT plates in a snowbank. Now I have something that I remember with “Hey Jude” but I don’t know if it’s JDE or JUD. Damn. ---

I have a state issued plate: 4NRD236 Foreigner, Nerd…both lame. My plate frame reads: I’d Rather Be David Lee Roth Gets lots of laughs even though about 10 times a day I mean it sincerely. But here is a real question: saw this one on a personalized olympic plate: WNG PLR Figuring there to be no solid solution I came up with Wang Puller. Anyone know what it could be Wing Player was the closest real solution but in reference to what? ---

Mine is QYS and I always think of it as Quit Your Shouting. Some old car my aunt had was BFZ 824 which meant Big Fat Zebra, 824 pounds. ---

The three letters on mine are EYQ, which I tend to call “Erika, your Queen”. Though frankly, I just memorized the letters and numbers for when I need them! ---

The first three letters of mine are MES. Fits me and my brokedown car perfectly. ---

> [@](#): > > Some old car my aunt had was BFZ 824 which meant Big Fat Zebra, 824 pounds. Mine’s similar to **Roadkiller** ’s aunt’s. It’s ELV-6##, which I always think of as ELVis’s weight last time he was in Vegas. ---

My first car: SLS-###, which was “Sal’s Lovely Sled” (Ha!) My first decent car was a 1990 Mercury Sable I bought new. The plate I got was YRM-219. I was 21 at the time, so it was easy to remember: “Young Red-blooded Male” 2+19=21. Voila!
