my dad was a urologist and always had vanity plates related to his profession. even had people ask us at stop lights if he was a urologist.

I always say anyone that puts the name of their car on their vanity plate is a douche.

So all you people that have

mustangs and have any version of pony or pny (also cobra Shelby etc)
or VW Bugs that have the word bug
Mini Coopers that have Mini or lil or little
BMWs that have Beemer or bmr
Cadillacs that have caddy
Hummer owners that have HMR or hummer or hum
or any car owners with the model or brand in their plate


STOP IT NOW:mad::colbert:
Good thing my wife got tired of her old plate: DUBYARX

Our custom plates tend to elicit laughter from those who notice.

It really depends on what it says. If you have a Toyota SUV with "Ferarri" (spelled wrong), then yes! If you have a Ferrari with "umadbro", then no.


And, for the record, there is a Toyota SUV driving around Montgomery, AL with that exact plate.

I would love to get that on a Ferrari.

Yep. I'd say that drivers with veteran plates are still a tiny bit worse than with vanity plates, though.

Drax is just upset that his application for FAPWGN was denied, because someone already had it.

So you guys with bigger bank, who do you live with, what do you drive, and how much money you make?

America is about the poor hating now.

And they have a ton of benefits.

No. In New York it is the only way not to get one of these:

They're also limited to 10 under the speed limit of whatever road they're on.

Opposite in my experience; you must get the old vets, whereas I get the mid/late-20 somethings in their Jeeps and Dodge Chargers and pick-ups speeding down the right lane 15mph over. And you know the cops go easier on them.
