Vanity License Plates

Awarded The Too Cool Award on 07-01-96.	HomePC Wild and Wacky site

	Proudly listed on What's Funny on the Internet!

I have always been interested by how creative some people can be when the canvas in which they are allowed to express themselves is limited. In this case, only letters and numbers are allowed, and depending on the state, a maximum of 6 to 8 characters.

For a nice introduction to the common "abbreviations" used in vanity plates, check out Michael Olivier's License Plate Basics. For an amusing story about Oedipus told entirely with vanity plates, check out OEDIPUS THE KING (OF THE ROAD). Think twice before you get the vanity plate NO PLATE or this could happen to you! Some amusing fictitious plates in the post funnies.

I have gathered the following list of vanity plates from personal observations :), people's submissions, and also from postings in the usenet newsgroup. With minor exceptions, all of these plates are real, i.e., it's on a car being driven by someone in the world. If you are interested in contributing your favorites to this list, please drop me a line! I would also like to thank Robert L. McMillin and Lars-Toralf Storstrand for contributing to major portions of the initial list.

For Car Buffs

For those of you who found this page by searching for keywords like "Ferrari", "Porsche", etc., I hope the following links will be of help:

Laurel is working on a series of books for Abrams publishing called ART OF THE STATE - one for each state, and in each title they want a single jazzy, funny, somehow typical to the culture of that state VANITY PLATE. Owners will need to be able to take a good, clean 35mm slide of their plate if their message is chosen, and if they can scan and transmit a picture of their plate, all the better. For more information, please contact Laurel at laurelea@nbn.com.

Total Number of Plates in this Collection: 1008!

Saga of LA Story Plates

While we are on the subject, I hope you can shed light on something that has bugged me for years. There are three prominent vanity license plates that appeared in Steve Martin's movie L.A. Story. The first one is "02BNLA" which can obviously be intrepreted as "Oh, to be in LA" or "Love to be in LA" where zero is called "love" in tennis. I wonder if you can figure out the other two which were "2GAT123" and "2QCE465". They might be totally meaningless, but I have a hunch they are not because the camera zoomed in on these two plates and then panned back. Any ideas? If you do, please send me a message. Thanks!

L.A. Story plates update: Paul Carreras gave a plausible interpretation of "2QCE465" as "Too queasy for 65 MPH". Thanks, Paul.

Mystery of L.A. Story plates solved? According to Drew Steitz of PL8S magazine:

"I have some of the movie prop plates used in that film, and the mysterious numbered plates were just regular '0AAA000' series California passenger plates that were made with an impossibly high letter series, to avoid any conflict with actual plates in use. Pretty boring, yet true!"

L.A. Story plates update 3: Randal L. Shwartz of perl fame reasoned that:

"2G = 2 G (2000) [RPM]
AT = at
123 = 123 [MPH]
In other words, it's simply coasting at lo-revs at that speed."

L.A. Story plates update 4: Woody Whitlatch, a California License Plate Collector, told me:

"A little extra insite on the Cal plate with the letters 'qce', the letter 'Q' (or 'I') can't be used in California as the first or third letter in the 0AAA000 series because of their resemblance to the letters O and I."

L.A. Story plates update 5: Artur Bagiñski surmised that:

"G stands for acceleration equal to earth gravity (9.8 m/sec²). So, the plate reads: - Two times the acceleration of 9.8 at 1(first), 2(second) and at 3(third) gear. At the time of the movie it was probobly impossible to achieve at least at 2nd and 3rd gear. To show you an example: -at 200 mph for a quarter mile at 5 sec, you get an average acceleration of 1.82 G."
