Slogan on a plate, anyone?

One of the things I most enjoy about plate-watching is finding people who have managed to cram entire slogans onto their plates. Both of the plates below are good examples of this.


B4ITS2L8 - Before it's too late


GR82BMEE - Great to be me

WTF?

Unintentional license plate acronyms - I would be inclined to keep a WTF plate! Via Eszter's Blog.

Since I made fun of doctors...

Doctors aren't the only medical professionals who indicate their profession on their plates.


2TH DK 1 - I have to confess that I saw this plate a couple of times before I made the connection and photographed it. Tooth decay is a quite funny plate for a car I presume is owned by a dentist.


DC SPINE - A more straightforward plate to tell you that the owner of this car is a chiropractor.

MMMBOP

License 2 Rant finally gave me the key to understanding a license plate that I've seen in my neighborhood, but never known what it meant:


1 MMMBOP - apparently MMMBOP is a Hansen song. Now I know that one of my neighbors is a Hansen fan (I'm obviously not since I didn't get what the plate meant!)

I made it through medical school

And I'd like to let the world (or at least all my fellow drivers) know!


DOC MARK


DOC AIR


PP1 DOC - the cynical part of me just wondered if PP=peepee=urologist?

I'm a fan?

I agree, Maglites are cool flashlights...but are they cool enough to go on my license plate? Nope!

MAGLITE

I own it

If you are worried about someone stealing your car, put your name on the plate:


RAZJBENZ


PETS PT

Reader submissions

Because it's always comforting to know someone out there is reading your blog, Sundays will be reader submission day.

I received a couple of plates from B down in Virginia. I like to think that these are people advertising for their hobbies, although I suppose the second could be a career as well:


FUN2HNT


1STM8E

Advertising

Corporate advertising was what started my interest in photographing license plates and what led me eventually to blogging about plates. My favorite corporate plate so far was not the name of the company, but rather a description of what they did for you. However, custom plates are still popular with some companies.


Able Locksmith, for example, has as a custom plate:

ABLELOCK.


FURNDOC is the plate on the moving truck of a local furniture repair store.

NY sports fans

I'm a transplant to NY, so I don't really get the sports mania around here. However, since I was looking at plates starting with numbers yesterday, these are most of the plates that begin with the number 8.

880YNK (on a World Series plate)


846 YAN (on a World Series plate)


824YNK (on a World Series plate)

Anyone more sports-savvy want to take a guess at what the numbers mean?

Let's see how high we can count with first digits of plates:

1 EFS - Ok, well what's an EFS and why does it need so many space?


2 BILL H - Bill H is a lucky guy if someone's buying him cars!


3 EAGLEZ - Don't you know that three is a crowd?


4 DECOR - Because civilization will collapse without window treatments.


5 FT 1 - and I don't sense any compensation for your height...nope...

Well, I can only count to five - I'm missing six and seven, and then I have a couple of eights and nines but I'll save those for another day.

A couple of other sites with plates

Thanks to J for the link to Geeks Are Sexy's recent geeky license plates post. It goes well with my post from last year about geeky plates.

Thanks to Sorin in the comments for a link to a video of custom Canadian plates.

I'm baaaaack

Finally got all of my current photos cropped and named, and I've got over 700 photos ready for posting. Let's start the new photo set off with "What kind of car are you driving?" plates.
