SPAM SPAM SPAM CAR AND SPAM

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Kelson

I saw a license plate today that read,

I ♥ SPAM

I was a little surprised, but then I saw the “Made in Hawaii” plate holder and realized they were talking about the lunch meat.

*whew!*

License plate spotted the other day:

NNTLGBL

I’m 90% certain it’s supposed to be unintelligible…in which case, it isn’t.

Prophetic Plate

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Kelson

The parking lots at The District in Tustin, and the streets that run through them, are just plain horrible. They’re bad enough, in fact, that the last time we were there*, it wasn’t clear at first that the reason traffic was moving so slowly was that it was working around a car accident.

As I slowly drove past the crashed Lexus, we both looked toward it…and burst out laughing.

I felt awful for it…but the license plate was DIMWIT1.

Bonus in-joke: Katie asked me where the other two were.

*June 13, for the record.

Vanity Plates

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Kelson

If you’re going to get a custom license plate, be creative. What’s the point of putting “WHITBMW” on your white BMW? I can see that! At least say something about your car. Even something like “I♥MYVW.” (No, I haven’t seen this one specifically.)

Vanity license plates seen recently: “OH NO3S” and “UVULA”, the latter on an old yellow-on-blue CA plate with wide letters.

Züm Züm

I saw a car this morning with the license plate “ZU SHNL.” It took me a minute to realize it was “zu schnell” – German for “Too fast!” # (It was a Mazda.)
