Vanity Plates

[feb]

Hi Jersey Girl,

My 2 plates say ECHOPT and 2ECHOPT. But they refer to a place on Winnisquam not Winnipesaukee. Cool coincidence though

[Just Sold]

Saw this NH plate yesterday in Hookset on my way back from the lake.

ILNDGRL = Island Girl

[dpg]

Hey Glennsteely: "meyec5"??? O.K. I give???

[SPANKY]

my guess is "meyec5" = my c5. i am pretty sure c5 is an abbreviation for fiifth generation corvettes. then again, i may be way off???

[Just Sold]

BAYSIDE, BAY and SIDE are all taken plates. I know that BAY and SIDE were the plates Jessie Rogers had back in the early 60's for the Bay Side Motel now Bay Side Inn, Alton Bay. Wonder if the Inn has BAYSIDE now. I have seen the other ones on their vehicles.

[Rinkerfam]

Spanky,
You are absolutely correct.

[Rinkerfam]

I'm pretty sure I recall reading that New Hampshire has the largest number of vanity plates, relative to number of registered vehicles, in the country.

That's not me...

IG,

I figured it was not you as you hail from MA.

[Jersey Bob]

Just yesterday I saw a Jersey plate with "Sunapee"

[goosejr]

I've seen a Bay19 or 19Bay, can't remember which.

[KPW]

I have seen one - "2 da lake" - or similar. Put those words to the William Tell Overture.

[Just Sold]

Saw 2 new plates in Salem and Londonderry today.

DVR-DWN (thought of Grant) and WAKE49 (SUV bought in Tilton)
Both were NH plates.

[JG1222]

It's about time this thread was resurrected. Please excuse the bugs...

[fatlazyless]

MINKISL & BEARISL have been seen. Still waiting to see BEERISL.

[Argie's Wife]

I noticed someone had the ZIP code for Alton Bay as their plate: 03810

Thought that was very cool....

[wifi]

I've seen a number of postmasters that used the zip as their plate numbers.... agreed, cool, or is it kewl

[camp guy]

I love this topic. It came up about 5 yrs ago, and has only been casually on the air since then.

One area I'm interested in is how people from [I]other[I] states try to make reference to Winnipesaukee, Wolfeboro (my town), other NH towns or attractions.

While driving in Pensacola I saw a car with NH "HAMPBCH", and, during the summer, here in Wolfeboro, I see cars from other states trying to say Wolfeboro. Funny, come to think of it, I don't see too many cars (maybe none) from NH trying to say non-NH locations.

Personally, my favorite is NH plate PCONE (that's me!).

[Smitty1]

Mine is FARECHO

as in Far Echo Harbor, Moultonborough

[Rattlesnake Gal]

We caught this one at the Alton Traffic Circle last July.
Is it yours Merrymeeting?

[Dog's Ear]

Connecticut plate LK*WINI

[Phantom]

don't forget the shuttle Suv for Canoe in Center Harbor has it's plate "Canoe"

[SteveA]

I always wondered why a neighbor of mine in Lake Shore Park had the NH Plate NONE.

The story he told was that when he applied you had to fill out a form and submit it to the DMV. They gave you three choices.

He put in, #1 - his nickname, 2# a reference to his business. He couldn't think of a #3 choice so he filled in the spot on the form with.. you guessed it, NONE.

I just looked it up on the NH Vanity plate site, and it's available again. I think he moved out of state, or passed away. The resturant was the Cherrystone, it was across from Mountain View in Gilford. His name was Jim O'Brien.

[CrawfordCentury]

Don;t know if this one's taken, but it would be great for an enthusiast of a certain sport.

NE14 10S

HINT: There's a club in W'boro you can join if you like playing this sport.

[KPW]

Does anyone have the link to see what plates are available? I tried the one that was posted earlier in the thread.

Some of you may have noted a friend's little pickup roaming the Moutonborough area wearing "GOHOME". He got it in response to a particularly nasty part time neighbor!

[Phantom]

This isn't quite in line with Vanity plates -- however my wife and I are extremely curious if this individual is a member of the forum ---

In Mass as you know there are many different "cause" plates. Where the added fee for the registration go to a particular cause i.e. Red Sox Plates go to the Jimmy Fund, Olympic symbols - support the US Olympics, etc .......

Amongst the many, recently they finally issued Breast Cancer Plates (which is very near & dear to my wife and I) and now both our vehicles carry them.

Anyway -- last Fall we spotted "BC 1" outside C J Avery's which obviously is the individual who initiated the drive for this series of Plates ......

Are you out there amongst us here in the forum??

Couple more:

This is a real life plate:

OUI OUI

Question: What color is the car?

___________

Any guess as to the profession of this plate's owner?

B4DKCME

___________

On a vintage Ford belonging to a Star Wars fanatic. The wookie rides shotgun!

MLNEIUM

_____________

Any guess what type of car would be sporting this plate?

MBALMD

[camp guy]

OK, CrawfordCentury, I'll try these:

B4DKCME Dentist (before decay see me)
MLNEIUM Millennium
MBALMD Medical Examiner (embalm doctor)

You beat me ! I was still working on MBALMD, had the other two.

Keep them coming CC...

While the French might say "yes yes", I'm guessing the owner went for a more phonetic interpretation, "wee wee", thus making the car yellow.

Yup. And that's a real life NH plate.

The others may or may not exist here in NH. I found them some time back on a site listing interesting plates. Don't think the state of origin was listed.

Here's a rude one. It's an amended version of the real life one (don't want to push the envelope on language):

2 U WERCS

Imagine being the trooper radioing HQ to note they're in pursuit of a car with one of these plates:

[nj2nh]

I have seen the Jersey plate that has my screen name on it recently: NJ2NH. I think another Jersey girl saw it, too, and spoke to the people in a parking lot down here not so long ago!

My ECHO PT plate is dented and bent, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. The dealer tried to make me give it up when I got a new truck a couple of years ago. NEVER!

NH is one of the few states that duplicates the plate "number" on different playe types. You can get a "regular" plate with that "ECHOPT" and get a "Conservation" or other special logo plate, with "ECHOPT" on it also.

[CrawfordCentury]

A few more riddles for you all.

The owner of this tag might have been a fan of a certain musician, accordionist, bandleader, and television impresario who hosted an epynominous TV show from 1955 to 1982.

A1 AN A2





This one's straightforward. But what's remarkable about the arrangement of the letters. (Think 'Bob' or 'Hannah' or the first name of the man who unified the German principalities in the 1800s):

ATOYOTA




Guess the hair color of this vehicle's owner:

AU YLOKS

[WeirsBeachBoater]

Saw LIC PL8 today in Meredith. Thought that was a good one.

The plate's simply "Wunnerful, Wunnerful".
{HINT : and a 1 and a 2 ... and I think the plate was the impresario's himself}

A Few more...

Belongs to a certain VP from Indiana?
POT8OES




What's the profession of this one?
I RGU4U




Bet this guy's got some GREAT pick-up lines!

[Rag Top Daze]

My summer car has RAG+TOP (RAGTOP was taken). My other car is L8KWINI. I get thumbs up and/or comments on that one all over the state

[SIKSUKR]

Dan Quayle and a lawyer.

[Rattlesnake Gal]

Caught this tag at Weirs Beach back in May.

[IslandRadio]

The best one I've seen anywhere was in Meredith.

A snappy looking convertable had the plate BLONDE and it was UPSIDE DOWN (on the front). I thought that was pretty funny!

[JG1222]

[ClosetExtrovert]

My first car was one of those Le Cars. I had "Le Tag"

Seen approaching the Hampton toll booths one Monday morning in late August. Car with MA plates heading south (as was I). I'm guessing we left from the same place...

Missed your earlier post RG! I wish!

[nj2nh]

My NJ plate is "ECHO PT". I get tons and tons of comments and everyone in town knows my plate.

There is another Jersey car with NJ2NH. I stole that one for my webname. Wish I could get that one.

A few years ago, the kids and collected all the good NH plates. I could have sworn I posted this once before, but maybe not. Here goes:

SUESUE
COCKNEY
YUMYUM
FUNSPOT
GAL-UP
B-AS-UR
MSCRAT
WNIPSKE
PIKACHU
CMOMSKI
HEY BABY
BRNBEAR
LAKWIN
LK-WINN
BIG WORM

My nephew sited the last one and started calling me that for the whole vacation.

Correct, I wear NH tags, and 1 more letter than that plate.

Guess I should have checked a little closer!!

[fatlazyless]

Here's a New Hampshire vanity plate, 13 MPG, seen recently on a grey Porsche sports car.

Friend of mine has a Porcshe with the NH Plate.. EZ-PASS

[Argie's Wife]

On the way to work this morning, I got behind BOATN
(NH tags on a truck)...

[Pepper]

Yesterday I saw a very clever NH plate: BO-KS4U. Obviously the driver is creative in more ways than one!

One of my favorite ever, which I see frequently around town: IMAREK I crack up every time I see it.

[Rattlesnake Guy]

I sat in line at the town hall while the couple in front of me tried vanity plate after vanity plate with "naughty meanings". I felt bad for the clerk who kept telling them, "nope the state won't let you have that either". I felt worse for me as I had to wait while the brain trust just kept trying to say anything inappropriate they could think of. I had a few ideas for them but had enough sense to keep them to myself.

[Bubs]

My father frequents this forum and recommended it to me; as a regular forum user I figured this would be a great place to join! It's great to become a member of a forum comprised of local people!

My Vanagon with a Subaru EJ22 motor swap, had it for six years. Vanity plate #1



My Nissan Versa also has a vanity plate, although it does not really make any sense and I can never come up with an actual reason for getting it! Alas, Kung-POW! This Versa is the fourth car to be graced with the KungPow plate!

...that is freakin' hilarious.

Any chance you've seen (or are a fan of) "Dumb & Dumber"?

If so, you'll know what I mean, if not, you should see it. You may get a chuckle out of it (stupid, sophomoric humor, but humor nonetheless).

I've seen Dumb & Dumber, but I (assuming my username could be a reference?) don't remember a whole lot from it. I started contributing to online forums at age 13 (I'll be 21 this fall) and Bubs has always been my username.
