Vanity plates

One of the things I really enjoy doing when I’m driving around is reading other people’s private number plateson their cars. For example, the pictured plate in this post reads “Idiot.”  When I see something like that I have to laugh because most of the vanity plates that I see are a comment about the driver of the car!  So for this particular plate, I am thinking that the driver is an idiot!  Although I suspect the person who bought the plate meant to imply that the OTHER drivers out on the road are idiots, I think that it back-lashed.

I think that one of the funniest plates that I’ve ever seen was in Maine, the plate read “PB4UGO”  – something that my mother always used to tell us kids right before we left the house to go anywhere!  Another good one was “IOIO”, which made me think of the Seven dwarfs going off to work.

Not as clever, but still memorable are plates that are on company vehicles that have some reference to the business – such as a plumber’s truck having the plate “PIPES” or “FLUSH.”  Or a home decorating business have a plate that says “DKR8.”  Yes, I do enjoy trying to figure out a lot of the weird plates out there – makes sitting at a traffic light or traffic jam a little more entertaining!
