Dead on with #1.

#2 - think Ford in the 1960s.

#3's right on the profession, but the question was what kind of car.

Ya still got a chance.

The color of the car with the OUI OUI plate's still out there.

A few more:

The plate of a very clever enthusiast of a certain sport.

IX FE

Hint: Think Roman numerals and chemical symbols from the periodic table of elements.

A Ford Falcon
A Hearse
Was yellow incorrect ? EDIT : I see we've cross posted, yellow is correct
9 iron makes the owner a golfer
"Accentuate the positive" - perhaps the owner was a Bing Crosby fan ???
Pee before you go could be almost anycar but I'll say a Yugo for now.

This is fun, but it's starting to make my brain hurt.

It is correct. Must've been postin' when the correct response came down the pike.

You're pretty good at this!

It is a Crosby tune, isn't it? I always think Andrews Sisters, but it was a joint endeavor, I think released as a Crosby record.

Maybe - especially if you're heading down the Mt. W Auto Road in one of them

Them with kids might have some alternatives.

That happens to me too. Doctor finally told me to be a little less agressive with the Q-Tips.

Since this has strayed off the Winni-path, I'm going add a couple...

"SHDOWFX" (Hint: named for a famous fictional horse.)

"22MANY" (Guess what kind of vehicle that was on....)

"NH2STAY" (Self-explanatory. The vehicle is registered here in Alton.)

"SWTNLW" (Hint: It comes in a pink packet.)

"STOL3N" (Self-explanatory. Imagine being the cop that has to call that one in!)

"IFARTED" (No. I didn't. But how did they get that approved?)

Which leads to the personalized plate I had on my Ford Festiva in high school....

"FUBB" (Yes, it's an acronym. Google it if you don't know it.)

To stretch this topic out a little, try going to Google and entering the following: PL8SPK. Several responses will come up, including a book entitled PL8SPK Vanity Plates Retell The Classics. In reality, this is a rather challenging book with some rather difficult vanity plates. It is a great table top book, but watch out for scratching, the front and back covers are license plate metal.

Blue Thunder · 06-24-2009, 06:37 AM

NOPCME Mass plate ( a local Urologist)

chipj29 · 06-24-2009, 07:48 AM

I applied for the vanity plate DOO DOO one time. It ended up being denied. Any guesses?

I currently have the plate NOSNHOJ on my car. It is pretty easy for most people to figure out, but I have heard some pretty funny guesses as well.

ApS · 06-24-2009, 08:27 AM

1) "DRDK", a clever plate, but on a frequently off-course/oft-damaged Corvette at our Driver Schools.

(I'd see a different "DR").

2) My own sports-racer had "2-LTR-6" for a plate. What car would that be on, and why would a "two-liter-six" engine be remarkable in that car?

(Member Mee'n'Mac would know.

)

Shadowfax, one of the Mearas and Gandalf's horse.

CrawfordCentury · 06-24-2009, 12:27 PM

Got another:

MNOT OJ

Question: What Model car - and what color? LOL

yessir!

I still remember watching the live footage of the chase. The announcer was describing a 'slow white bronco.'

My first thought was the cops were in pursuit of John Elway.

OK, I'm out of ammo. Sorry if I led this thread astray. I'll blame it on the little boy in me...

Seems I can't make him leave. Wouldn't be fair. Afterall, he was there first.

Besides, him and me, we have a lot of fun together.
