Nothing to look forward to now that we’ve sprung ahead? I’m thinking about perhaps getting some new plates. Since I’m in CA (or is this everywhere?!), I’ll just have to be sure not to include a “69″ in the new sequence–that’s only “reserved for 1969 year motor vehicles.” The CA DMV Special Plates Units reportedly gets 10k requests per month, and here are some plates that cleared background.
And if you’re etching out a new personal sequence & you live in the state of New York, be sure to avoid anything on this list.
And if you’re DMV-ing it in the Sunshine State, you’ll have to go even further out of your way to avoid censure.
Very funny stuff. I’ve always tried to get my mom one that says “hootchy” as a joke. My friend wants one that says “ieep_oo” (i eat poo)

One day I was driving on I-40 on the way to Durham and I noticed a personalized plate on an SUV. It read “MEANMYHO” which I took to mean “Me and my ho.” It’s funny, the guy didn’t look like a farmer though.
