Question First Time for Everything!

If you're following this plate around the lake on a weekend, be prepared to stop at every yard sale, and watch about a dozen women go "shopping".

Talking My First Vanity Plate



I finally got my Lake Winnipesaukee themed license plate!

The straight shaft inboard/propeller really helps with our gas mileage.

This rear window is brought to you by Gator Signs of Gilford, along with the Winnipesaukee.com Store and Fargo from the Little Mount thread.


(It may be hard to tell, but that is a Winnipesaukee.com sticker in the upper left corner of the window.)
I think I may be a nerd.

Default Vanity plates

I am fascinated by vanity plates, and all the various attempts to represent the Lake or other surrounding areas. From you, RG, I would expect nothing less than what you have - great job.

(My plate, PCONE, goes back to 1968 !)

I just checked that coolpl8z.com link and "MMMBEER" is now at #25 and "IFARTED" is now at #72.

I used to have a vanity plate that might have made both the "banned in NH" list and the coolpl8z.com list; actually, I'm surprised it doesn't show up on the banned list now. That plate was "QQQQ".

Those that "got it" usually pointed and laughed! The few people that didn't "get it" until I explained it to them laughed once they heard the explanation (my mother was in this group, she thought it was hilarious!). Then there was the one guy that complained to DMV (an elderly person apparently with no sense of humor) and I received a letter from DMV telling me to turn it in and pick something else.

I only had "QQQQ" for about 7 months; the replacement was "-BFD-", my way of retaliating for having to give up "QQQQ". I ended up with "-BFD-" for a few years! The funny thing was, the clerk at DMV that gave me "QQQQ" gave a knowing smirk when I told her what I wanted but she gave it to me anyway!

My current plate is "SCHWING", taken from the movie "Wayne's World".

Default Vanity Plates

My aunt has 'BP 49' which is her initials and the year she graduated from high school. I ask for 'RP 69' which is my initials and the year I graduated. and you would never guess they would not approve because of the 69. Yet I have seen standard plates with 69 somewhere in the numbers.

So I ask for 'RLP13' and they accept! You would think '13' will be criminal but I guess not.

Back in the days I had a Hemi with the plates 'HUMBLE', that will be another story.

Default Banned License Plates....

I haven't seen it myself, but I've been told that there is a large 4X4 in the area with the plate, "BG JNSN". Could either be a tall person named "Johnson", or something else....

Wow, someone doesn't have any sense of humor at all !!!

Sure, some of them don't belong, but I would say more than half are just fine by any normal (normal being the operative word) standard.

Amazing!

Personally, I think it's hilarious! I was just trying to keep my post clean and the humor tongue-in-cheek. Maybe it IS a tall person named Johnson....

Howie Carr did a segment on this very item this afternoon on his program.

Apparently, the plate for someone who wanted to say they love tofu was rejected. LVTOFU. Really. There are *numerous* Internet domain names, which, if read in a "certain" way spell things or make sayings that might be considered "offensive" to someone.

What's with the hatin' on "fun" in a couple of different variations? I understood when they wouldn't let me have "FNFUNFN" but what's the problem with "FUN-FUN?" And there was a least one other that mentioned fun in that list of banned plates...

I saw this on a bike at bike week this year. FCKFF I asked him how he got by with it, because I know know that you have to explain what it refers to, and he said he had his grandmother apply for him.

One of my friends has his initials followed by 69 on his bike, maybe it went through because that was his birth year?

One of my motorcycles is L6929 but that came right out of the box in order in Moultonborough.

My son's 91 Dodge pickup is 91CTD (Cummins Turbo Diesel)
