Title: Personalized License Plates
Post by: amiright?? on June 21, 2009, 02:06:41 PM: Just finished listening to the 6/16 episode and was immediately disappointed that I couldn't call in with a license plate observance.

And then on second thought, I realized that I'd get heave-hoed talking about it because it's complete terlet. But I couldn't not share.

You see, there is a man driving around my home town at this instant in a purple trans am, or something equally muscular. I'd say it might even by a firebird or a thunderbird, but I am quite car stupid. Either way a muscle car or some make. Painted purple.

Well, purple and white.

You see there is a decal on the roof, that looks like a splatter, running down onto the windows, as well. So, a purple car, with a splattered roof of white.

And then the plate:

"WET DRMS"

Vanity plates in VA are super cheap, so there's stuff like this all over. "BRADSMOM", "LVMYKIDS", "MOM2BOYS", "MYKDZRULE", etc, etc, etc. I don't think the kids are down with it in general.

I told my sister about it and we laughed. As we slowly passed the car on the highway, I noticed it was an extremely elderly woman driving and it dawned on me. "Beach Crazy."

The only personalized license plate that I've ever seen in real life that actually made me laugh was: LICENSE PL8. Really, what more is there to say?

I was thinking of it more in the sense of Bringing SXY BCK - but there were not enough letters. Although through extrapolation, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume her actual back was not sexy.
