HERE IS THE ORIGINAL THREAD ABOUT THE F DUBYA PLATE

The jerk called in to the Larry Elder show bragging about his license plate. We sent letters to the DMV, and now he is without his vanity plate. He just couldn't shut up and enjoy it.

The greatest vanity plate of all time: the "Ass Orgy" story

[xm177e2]

I think the best dirty plates are those with #LLL## (L letter # number) because they look like non-vanity plates unless you think about them. Using numbers as letters helps to achieve this.

For instance: 4SSH013 (although the censors would catch that one, it's too obvious, and it's not nearly dirty enough)

Saw a random plate in New York. "L84 5EX"

Back about 1980, a guy had the plate, MUF DVR on his yellow Corvette, used to see it all the time in Simi Valley.

Just think, somebody out there today is probably still driving around proclaiming, SKR 469.

If the agency recalls a plate, the owner can ask for an administrative hearing. The DMV usually wins, but not always. A lady in the Bay Area once fought to keep her plate, which read "A PUSSY."

My vanity plate says "TURGID".

I imagine my car would follow hers all over the place.

"My random generated plate was FKR 469." -- I don't get it.

What it means is, if you 'f' her, you might get '69'.

Now if I could just figure out what I mean by that.

[Lazamataz]

I tried to get a vanity license plate that read: "BoyISureCouldUseSomeSexHeyHoneyWhatchyaDoingNextFriday?"

The license plate department turned it down, saying they don't allow question marks.

[GOP_Proud]

Just how is one supposed to know that the 3s are reversed to be Es? Oh, well, I guess you have to be creative.

yeah...

no one told me, but it was the only thing that ended up making any sense...

[SALChamps03]

I read somewhere years ago that a couple had complementary vanity plates: The man's read "Tab A;" the women's read "Slot B."

[Defiant]

Around 1985, driving in northern Virginia, i was driving on the 395, and saw a guy with the vanity plate

FAAAHQ

I followed for a couple minutes trying to figure it out, and when I did, I howled with laughter. What made it even sweeter was how picky the Virginia DMV people were about vanity plates. This guy made it past 'em.
