License Plate (lawl)
Ok. I just got my new license plate in today, and I just had to show it off (before...you know...I get arrested and stuff)! I felt it was appropriate because I'm 24, and this what I assume most people think.
Well, I find it hilarious. Anyone else have an awesome license plate?

You sure you want people to see your vehicle license plate etc?
Just wondering and all...

I'd be willing to bet that every single time I take my car out of the garage, a whole bunch of people can see it AND read the license plate AND can tell that I'm a 20-something female, that I smoke, I live near the beach, I own a cell phone and a bunch of other stuff. For the record, my license plate says WTF OMG. |

I hear ya. And I apologize for being sarcastically bitchy above... I have a confession to make. Not too long ago on another board, a very similar situation occurred where I was the person who mentioned privacy and someone else told me that I was being dense, because really, anyone who passes you on the street could get your name/address by looking at your actual car. And they're even more likely to do so if they can see what you look like IRL, not just on an internet forum. They had a good point, so I paid it forward by "sarcasm-ing" you. :P Sorry. |

Because I don't speak "internet", nor have I been really trying to, these "supposed" vanity plates are lost on me.
This one, however, Quote:
Strangely enough, in the area where I live,(suburbs of D.C.) Florida plates are the second most common plates I see. It gets me to think in rationale that there must be an unknown express highway path strictly in use by only the states of VA and FL.

I appreciate the warnings, but nah, I'm not really worried about anyone finding out where I live. I have a(some) camera(s) pointed at my car in my home/work parking lots, and insurance out the whazoo, so I'm good!
Besides, anyone that actually wants to drive to Kansas...like...on purpose deserves a medal.

in California, you can get a license plate with a hand print on it (it raises funds for some children's charity if you purchase it) and it would be perfect to have the custom letters: MSTRB8

I've seen a license plate that says PWNED and another one that said EPCMNT (for those WoW players in the audience) which was a tricked out Nissan of some sort. My g/f and I were pushing 85 to take a picture of the plate and weren't getting close to keeping up with the thing.

I can't believe they let you get away with using WTF.

According to Snopes, the A55 RGY license plate was NOT a personalized plate - it was a complete coincidence. Pretty cool. I wonder if they've received offers to purchase the plate? Or how many times it has been stolen?

When I requested the plate, I had to tell them what it meant. I got my WTF OMG plate back in 2002 before Myspace had taken the world by storm, so it was easy to tell them that WTFOMG = "Wait for MG". *shrug* Nobody asked me wtf THAT meant. |

I wasn't asked to explain what it meant, but I was so Nerd-Happy ( ) that this might actually work (when I was at the DMV, that is) that I was trying my best not to fall into an uncontrollable fit of Girl-Giggles (I'm a guy). I think the DMV chick thought I was choking, or something.

Hopefully we're buying a new car in the near future, and I want to get a custom plate for it, since it's my first grown-up car! We're probably getting a Honda Fit, so I was thinking something like "FIT FTW"...but yeah, I totally want to get a plate with leet-speak on it. Is that dorky?
For my other car, which has to get new plates this summer, I'm just getting the Oregon State University plates. I have four letters to work with if I want it personalized, and I haven't given much thought to personalizing it. If anyone has any good ideas, I'm all ears. The car is a '94 Volvo station wagon named Baby.

It's all a matter of personal taste, but if I was driving and saw a license plate with 1337 speak on it, I'd probably point and laugh at you. What is the motivation behind immortalizing played-out Internet catchphrases on your car?
