Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / November 2007I didn't know they were this dumb
http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/20/2066.asp <...> Kentucky does not require motorists to install front plates, so many sports fans have purchased novelty white-and-blue front plates issued from the state of "Wildcats" that read IAM4UK. Meter maids from Colorado to Maryland have written down this novelty plate number and used it to issue parking citations that went to Burgess, even though the cars allegedly responsible for the violations were clearly not fifty-year-old classics. The city of Baltimore, for example, claims Burgess owes $4045 in tickets and late fees. <...> -------------------------------------------------- I wonder how many he got from chicago?

It's no telling. Likely he didn't get any in Kansas City, due to Kansas also being a one-plate state. It does remind me of a guy I knew who had his car registered in Johnson County, Kansas, and nearly ended up arrested in St. Louis for no front plate. Reminds me of the dumbass who thought it would be funny to get a vanity plate that said "NO PLATE" - you can guess what happened to him. :) http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/noplate.asp Signature"Carl sleeps in his own bed [with] his yappy stupid a.s dog I want to punt out the balcony and into the dumpster." - Erika Lozaga Message-ID: <1194318485.287974.126750@q3g2000prf.googlegroups.com> "I respect [Erika's] opinion though--not yours!" - Carl Rogers Message-ID: <1194332588.257951.197540@e34g2000pro.googlegroups.com> >Reminds me of the dumbass who thought it would be funny to get a >vanity plate that said "NO PLATE" - you can guess what happened to >him. :) > >http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/noplate.asp "HIOFICR". :-) -- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Admiral Hyman Rickover, U.S. Navy >>Reminds me of the dumbass who thought it would be funny to get a >>vanity plate that said "NO PLATE" - you can guess what happened to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >"HIOFICR". :-) How about 0O00O00 or some variation?

I think that fell by the wayside since. >>>Reminds me of the dumbass who thought it would be funny to get a >>>vanity plate that said "NO PLATE" - you can guess what happened to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >How about 0O00O00 or some variation?

Hmm. Perhaps I should select the hexadecimal equivalent of my initials for a vanity tag? At least the vehicle, and the signature at the beginning of my "internal" file formats would be consistent. :-) -- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Admiral Hyman Rickover, U.S. Navy >>>>Reminds me of the dumbass who thought it would be funny to get a >>>>vanity plate that said "NO PLATE" - you can guess what happened to [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >I'm lost here; I do not see the significance, and I'm curious. The idea being that the cop would have a hard time getting the plate number right. SignatureThere's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. >The idea being that the cop would have a hard time getting the plate >number right. Now I understand. But as a software developer, those 1 & 0 characters force me to look toward binary values first. :-/ -- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Admiral Hyman Rickover, U.S. Navy > Reminds me of the dumbass who thought it would be funny to get a > vanity plate that said "NO PLATE" - you can guess what happened to [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > - Carl Rogers > Message-ID: <1194332588.257951.197540@e34g2000pro.googlegroups.com> Reminds me of a few years ago of some guy in Iowa with the vanity plate "STOLEN." It just happened to be his last name, but I'd bet on a lot of citiations. |
