In the mid ‘60s, the license plate of the car my roommate drove in Seminary was VD. It was her mother’s car, and they were her mom’s initials. It was an innocent time; we had no clue it meant anything else, and neither did her sheltered PA Dutch mother.
I know a guy who had his decades old e-mail address revoked. It was 69swinger340@.... He had a 69 Dodge Dart Swinger 340. Since this was his primary email address used for banking and probably a hundred other things, you can imagine what a cluster it was.
I don't know what her original intention was, but there are lots of reasons why people might want 69 on their license plate. I graduated high school in '69. Millions were born in 1969. If 69 isn't allowed, then they shouldn't have issued it in the first place.
Well, what would “69 Owned You” mean?
I don’t get it.
I don’t even know what it means, so how was it deemed offensive? Did someone think it was a racist “dog whistle”?
I think it's the DU part ...
So if a New Yorker had a plate that said 69METS-YAY that would be offensive?
When I saw the headline, knowing how much Tennessee is embarrassed by the end of October, I figured the vanity plate said something like “Roll Tide”. LOL
What’s so offensive about ‘69? Perhaps the Woke crowd is offended because it was the year Nixon became president and rallied the Silent Majority against the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism.
“Okay who believes her story that she chose 69 because it was the year of the moon landing as oppose to the sexual meaning?”
It was a pretty good Hendrix tune.
it is a vanity plate.
meant for self expression.
I saw one that got by our state DMV ...
bchplzz
Pretty sure what it means.
I hope it is a cancer survivor. That would make it one of the more clever vanity plates I’ve seen.
all your base are belong to us.
She says she is interested in Astronomy, so why wouldn’t she years ago think of the Moon walk.

Maybe that's true, but they issued it! Now, 10 years later, it's a problem? Only in the halls of government.
At one point, he got a vanity plate, "3MENDOUS," which he meant to be a play on his nickname and which he assumed people would read as, "Tremendous."
He could not get rid of that plate fast enough when it was pointed out to him that most people were reading it, "Three Men Do Us."
I used to have FYYFF on my car, trailer and motorcycle.
I have IRTFM now.
