Re: Personalized License Plates
So North, you never said what the significance of "North" is.
At one time the high school was doing a fund raiser selling NORTH plates which many folks displayed on the front of their cars. I thought that's great. Someone robs a store with a promotional plate on their car and the police will come looking for me because the witnesses said the plate number was NORTH. It never did happen though.
When questioned about the plate later in life, I use to tell them Ollie was my uncle. Some people actually believed me.
As Paul Harvey said, "And now you know the rest of the story...Good Day!"

Re: Personalized License Plates
They wouldn't give me this plate....QQQQ.
Here in Rhode Island it would make a goodly amount of sense, especially spoken in a Soprano's dialect
But seriously folks, I really liked.....2CEDAR but they can't make that plate either.

Re: Personalized License Plates
After a little thought, it came to me in a vision, I just ordered XPHIRE, figured that was appropriate since my initials are PH. So to me it does double duty
I don't have a middle name....already have two first names.

Re: Personalized License Plates
One of the more humorous plates that I've seen was on a Porsche Boxter:
MY BOX
It had a female driver. I have no idea how that one made it past the censors.
