Ok, Going to try something different here.....What kinds of plates have you seen but can NOT seem to figure out what they say???? (or some that you can?)

In high school, I had this one:
DAR2DV8
(pretty simple, really....)

My mom has this one:
GSTRYDR
Some guy thought it meant G-String Rider! ROFLOL
It actually means Ghost-Rider

UQTINVU

GTODRMN
A hint to my husband that I really wanted one of the new GTO's, only to have my hopes dashed!
But he did let me get a Camaro instead!

This is what mine say:

LKYSLDY

Hint: My husband drives a one-ton dually with plates that is part of the beginning of my personal plates.

When I was in high school, I wanted this one:

IXLR8

However, it was already taken ...

I see LKYSLDY around quite often.....but then her child does go to the same daycare as mine! LOL

Another one I've seen: 2SXY4U

In Virginia once I saw this.....

a license plate with a license plate holder around it
and top of the holder said "Yes"
then the plate said "Virginia" obviously the name of the state and then the plate number said ....."thereis"

then the bottom of the plate holder said "a Santa Claus"

I have always considered that one of the most clever plates ever.

For all of you that don't remember that is an old expression from a movie
"yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"

What's that one in town that says CPTOFUN? It's yellow and and a little boxy car? (I'm terrible with vehicles) Does it say 'carpet of fun'?? I can't ever figure that one out! Drives me nuts! I am gonna ask him some day!!

IO IO (hint -- seen on a Mercedes)

Off topic: Just to make sure credit goes where it is due, the common opening "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" was actually a response by the now defunct New York Sun newspaper to a "letter to the editor" from a distraught girl whose "little friends" had been taunting her for still believing in Santa Claus. It's a great story, made all the more wonderful by the fact that the man who penned the heart-tugging lines was a crusty old cur of the old school of reporting. Apparently he amazed everyone with the tenderness and whimsy he infused in his magical reply.

My family all had plates after my father's plate.

Cutt
Cuttjr
Uprcutt
Cuttabv
Srtcutt

Thanks Steve for the information about the proper credit for that as I didn't know (obviously).

This was a favorite from my youth....

BUDWISER

Of course after I found out who/what it meant I was shocked!!

On a Miata in California, "MEGOTA."

Another guy in California had this one for about two years, "4NIK8." Then the DMV figured out what it meant and took it away from him. I used to see a guy in a Mustang in San Diego all the time with "YSSUP" which didn't mean anything until I read it backwards.

I had one that was pretty easy to figure out ARBORNE. The wife couldnt get the "I" in there for the complete AIRBORNE. A few I saw on Ft Bragg was GRNLTGO (Green Light (Go the command to jump) JMPMSTR (JUMPMASTER) TWDJMPR (TOWED JUMPER)

On an old hearse in Havre, MT "TIMESUP"

That was bad.

BGRLTRD
TRY THIS ONE.

I won't spell out what this means lest any young kids read this but does anyone in the Seattle/Washington area remember this license plate being in the news?



http://www.komonews.com/n...29806.html

Did anyone actually see it?

Another one I saw was an all-black Camaro with neon-green rims with a license plate that simply read "Death".

I was having a bad day and that just made me laugh for some reason.

I got a kick out of the Muggli Brothers semi that says "COWCHOW".

For those of you who don't know, they make feed cake.

Way back in the day, at school a guy drove a truck with AGADO on it. I never could figure it out. Finally asked him
AG - symbol for Silver.

AGADO

That's pretty clever. I bet he had to explain it a lot though.

Okay mule deer, I give!

Guess no one else knows either, huh? Just saw it again in town.
CPT O FUN

Maybe it's "Captain of fun"??

Someone please put me outta my misery!

I had this one years ago:

CTSR4ME

Hint: ^..^~

I'm pretty sure it's "captain of fun"

I was right behind the owner of this plate in line at the Treasurers Office. In the interest of honest advertising, my plate is a comparison to his and says "notsomuch"

Cmon Capn reveal yourself to the masses or at least the dozen or so regulars on milescity.com. I would give you up but I'm not that kind of guy.

I thought it was "Coprolite of Fun"....

Not sure where I got that idea though...

When I got my last car I tried to get NTMNKY. The DMV told me I couldn't have it because it could be taken in the wrong context and offend someone. ???? Not sure what that would mean that could be construed as bad but whatever. Had to go with &T MNKY instead and that was ok by them. Go figure.
Was kind of offended when the other day I saw MNKYBUT on a plate though!

(Auntie Monkey, from my neices and nephews)

Thanks for answering that! I think it still could be carpet of fun...maybe he thinks of it like a magic carpet ride. It it a cute little car. Ok, now I'm just being a dork

I saw a Plate several years ago that I thought was cool. It read....10SNE1

We could come up with some alternatives.

How about "carport of fun" sort of a teenage redneck theme

"Crumpet of fun" perhaps a chap from the UK

I think we are close to drawing him out - keep it up SC

sugarcookie,

Yes, CPTOFUN is supposed to be Captain of Fun.

I went to high school with 2 brothers with the unfortunate last name of Dick. Their names were Artie and Charlie, and their license plates said...wait for it...
C Dick
A Dick

IMROVIN
MTROVIN
CWBYWY
CWBYUP
EMETIB
EEVOB
ANYONE SEEN THESE?

In the Wal-mart parking lot there was a KIA that said 1BADKIA. Two guys were walking by and after observing the plate I overheard one guy tell the other "the only bad thing about that is it's stink"

Ah, mon capitan, sailing his yellow Scion upon the seas of fun.

I want a blue car with a license plate that says TARDIS. That's obscure unless you are a SciFi geek.

My niece who lives in NC has one that reads GRITS. Which means Girls Raised In The South

DV8 was always a favorite of mine.

Thanks Chad!

I have had a few in my days......

SIXSTOY (in high school)
MECANIC (Currently own)
4MYWFE (On my motorcycle right now!)

The one that said UQTINVU was on the Mustang II of an ex-girlfriend of mine back in my high school days.

WEBMASTER LARRY: you may be interested to know that a former KATL coworker of mine, Cindy Kay Lehman, had IXLR8QK on her car - so I guess she was the one who stole your idea? Sadly, she was murdered in Colorado some time ago.

In Glendive, someone once had: 2BZ4UQT - I thought that was pretty clever.

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I saw it on Main Street this AM.

RLNTRD

Anyone seen the plate GBGTFB ??
Can't publish what it says.....

i have the license plate WHHOA 5 cause of so many stop signs around town....

I have KDS4FRE on mine right now. Any takers, I have 3 to pick from!!

I almost changed my name to gfl386...

It was cheaper than gettin customized plates...

Wife said no

My neice recently bought a new car and wanted to get a plate signifying her alma mater. The DMV denied her request, which was to be predicted. It mattered not when she explained that CONDOM stood for the College of Notre Dame of Maryland, which is a centuries old Catholic womans college in Baltimore. Apparently the DMV has no appreciation of irony.

My favorite was on a sump truck... TRDHURS

I once thought about getting RIP14ME but didn't go through with it.

I used to cruise main in that mustang UQTINVU. I had Duran 2 on mine back in the mid 80's loved me some Duran Duran. Then in the mid 90's had CLRNPOK

I drove a yellow Mercury Bobcat in the mid to late 80s with the plate "1T5K10L".

Big Rollin Turd

Saw "RUBLU2" today.

My husband jumped at the opportunity to purchase back the first "new car" he ever owned. A Z28 Camaro special order and after three owners, he sent me to the courthouse with this mission to order up plates that say "MYNAGIN". Great part is I tell people it says "my naggin'" Both are quite fitting.

NE14A69? Got turned down. In more than one way.

My Uncle had
Litldic- he was short and his name was Richard.

There used to be a Corvette in Plentywood with personalized plates YOUWISH.

Dave

Hey Roni!

I remember your little yellow Mercury back then...if I remember hearing correctly, "1T5K10L" meant:

1T = penny for your thoughts
5K = nickel for your kiss
10L = dime for your love

is that right? I rememeber thinking that was pretty clever when I first heard someone explain it.

Anyway, say hi to Scott!

I saw this one today..

AGTWLKR

A gate walker?

Agate Walker? Fill in please. I thought it was interesting I stopped to write it down so I wouldn't forget.

Hi Shumon!

You're almost correct, it's dime if you tell me that you love me. It was an old song that I always thought was cute.

I will pass on your greetings to Scott.


Roni

Anna, the license plate EEVOB the last name spelled backwards !!!!! B-O-V-E-E . got it ???

I know that MR..lol Just thought that I would ask anyone else if they had seen it and could figure it out. Thanks tho..Anna

I thought my first personalized plates were rather clever though no one else really could figure it out...KMWTHAY. It stands for "Kym with a Y" (my name is spelled KYM). Everyone thought it meant "Kame with Hay" so I decided that if I'm going to have a confusing one I'm going to go all out! My current plates read: JNSAYPA. I'm not going to lie, I'm rather proud of this one. It says je ne sais pas which is French for "I don't know." Here is an example of a conversation that I have had several times (which is basically why I got the plates)!

Friend: So what do your plates say?
Me: Je ne sais pas - it's french.
Friend: What does it mean?
Me: I don't know.
Friend: Then why the hell did you get it?

Ahhh, it still gets me every time!

I get a kick out of this one every time I see it: Mr. Poo
Considering his business, that is pretty funny/clever!

Sorry Anna, after I re-read your first post I realized you were just commenting on the ones you had seen !!! Sorry. Oops !

my dad has this one on his drag racing car: LITEMUP (meaning the lights to GO!) Has this one on his Big Dog bike: HAWGWLD
And of course, my sister has this one on her little beater: CHAN

When my husband and I were both taking college classes we had LYF101 on our minivan. We also had 4 children at home the oldest being 9yr. Life is like a class you're always learning being challenged and tested.

Here's an easy one for a car buff- seen on a 1963 Corvette: WIN DOW
