Vanity Plates II
- Thread starter jsteph
- Start date
A couple on the way home Friday and over the weekend.
THEGOOF (surrounded by lots of pictures of Goofy)
CNO EVO (see no evil?)
When I first saw that one, my brain read it as CNO EMO, which seemed a might bit more funny than CNO EVO to me.
Also saw one of the more favored plates I have ever seen:
GDZLLA
Oh yah.

Chuck Norris is the reason Waldo is hiding.

->CNO EVO
Was it it on a Mitsubishi Evolution?
I hadn't ever heard of this car until someone at work recently got one. He referred to it as an "Evo" (pronounced with a long E).

Dollie's story reminded me of something a friend told me about. Technically, it's a bumper sticker story, but we don't (yet) have a bumper sticker thread.
This friend came to the U.S. from Ireland. He was driving along one day when he saw a car with a bumper sticker reading "Treat me like the queen that I am." He pulled up next to the car and flipped the lady off (one finger salute, not two for some reason). Her husband rolled down his window and started yelling asking this friend what his problem was. In his Irish accent he answered, "Where I come from, that's how we treat the Queen." The husband started laughing. The wife/driver was not amused.

Most likely "Thanks AOL". I had a neighboor who worked at the AOL call site locally and sold his AOL stock options at an opportune time and bought himself a dodge viper.
[small]Sometimes you gotta leave your zone of safety. You have to manufacture Inspirado. You gotta get out of the apartment. You've got to run with the wolves. You've got to dive into the ocean and fight with the sharks. Or just treat yourself to a delicious hot fudge sundae........ with nuts. - Jack Black[/small]

<slightly off-topic rant>
I was behind a woman driving a 4-door sedan yesterday. In her rear window, she had one of those suction cup signs that read, "Baby on Board." Having an infant daughter myself, I smiled a bit. My smile quickly disappeared when I saw the driver toss a cigarette out of the car window. Now I don't know if her baby was in the car or not, but I really think she needs to put her child's health above her nasty habit (no offense to you smokers out there). Times like this make me wish I was a police officer. I would've pulled her over and wrote her a ticket for being stupid.

Sorry...I just had to get that off my chest.

There's probably nothing to prevent the same vanity plate from two different states. I don't see why you couldn't have an 401K GUY from California and a 401K GUY from Indiana.
