License Plates

rwd2177 · 03-09-2006, 12:10 AM

Okay, so now I'm really getting down to buying my Prius. It seems to me that I remember once coming across a file, a thread or something that had this grand list of names for personalized plates for Prius owners.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Perhaps some has an link?

I also just want to say thanks to everyone on this site. I have so much informatioin in my head in preparation of my big purchase all due to this great group!

I spent some time in the Washington State DOL site looking for good plates. All the good, obvious ones are taken. I really wanted "AMPED".

I briefly considered "AC-DC", but was worried about getting hit on by interesting people and by cowboys.

I dunno if this is what you saw before but hybridcars.com had a vanity plate contest in December.

It's fun to sit around with a bunch of friends trying to think up something original for a plate. At one time you could visit state MVD sites and find out whether someone had already thought of it or not. More recently though when I've looked for those sites, they've been removed for purposes of personal privacy (apparently there had been some abuses).

My all time favorite was on a Renault LeCar running around Seattle with the license plate "AUMERDE" . DMV never caught on to that one.

There are 3-4 vanity plate threads if you want to dig for them---should all be in FHOP but one or more might be in the Main Forum.

After spending way too much time considering ideas, my favorites are

GOOD4US

NOPEC (just recently suggested)

LESSOIL

4 GEEKS (mine, to arrive any day)

AU is the symbol for Gold. So it's saying Gold Merde.

P.S. I have no idea what it is either.

I hate explaining a joke, but seeing this requires some translation ....

Au is pronounced 'Oh' in French. Merde, well it's the stuff you don't want to step in.
