Apropos of absolutely nothing

There seems to be something that draws unusual vanity plates to the block in front of my work. Seen in the past few months.

And on a tow truck nearby: NEXT WEEK

Spotted closer to home: SIDE JOB2 – makes me wonder – what is side job 1? And did side job2 pay for the car? I assume that’s the story behind the car I see parked in our neighborhood with the vanity plate PKRMONEY.

What is the best vanity plate you’ve seen?

What would you put on a vanity plate if you had one? (Or, what is on your vanity plate, if you’ve got one?)

I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out “vanity plates” that, it turns out, were just plain, old plates. Or I am just really dense.

Saw one the other day that I really liked: IRITGUD.

My maiden name is Byrd and I used to drive a yellowish Volvo station wagon. My nick name was, no surprise, Big Bird. I wanted a plate that said: BIGBYRD.

my vanity plate says “HDSHLPR”.
It is my “official” title in our family business.

I haven’t personally seen this, but a law school friend posted as her facebook status that she saw a smart car with the following plate: GR8D8B8
