Way too much lovin', and She Be Flo

Steve put up a few more observed plates in his Flickr stream, including D8 ME (no, thanks), HUG EVR1, (again, I'll pass) and [Heart]4U ALL (is there something in the water?!).

But I like this one best. Steve says: "Taken outside of a diner full of white-hairs in Bakersfield, CA."


It's so forceful! Yes, YOU BE FLO! You tell 'em! Ow-OW!

a medical theme

from my I-95 trip from Charm City to NYC:

XRAY 2 --- does this guy have an MRI in his other car?

and

REAL DR

Personally, I'd rather see a board certification or something.

some clarity but even more confusion


Allied to what?

and

1 4MUBA.

Any insight on the latter would be appreciated. Thank you and good night.

Plates from L.A,, and that damn Y chromosome

This Flickr photo set from my blogging friend Steve includes off-beat bumper stickers ("Tree-hugging dirt-worshipper" on a Prius), funny-lookin' cars (a Lincoln Navigator covered in spray-painted hearts) and a handful of very excellent license plates, all spotted since he moved out to L.A. from the Midwest.

Only in L.A.:



Why L.A., and not D.C., we shall never know:



But this is the one he e-mailed me about, and it's the one I seem to be stuck on. Anyone?

RIBBIT: Frog on wheels

Blogging friend Lara at Red Red Whine reminds me of the bright green Honda Del Sol she spotted with the plate: RIBBIT.

I love personified animals. Even if the personification is really more of carified.

Do WE57 HAM and AR53 NAL play each other?

No vanity plates in England + crazed soccer hooligans = 57,000 pounds at auction for the plate WE57 HAM.

That beat the previous record of 36,000 pounds for AR53 NAL.

"The atmosphere in the auction room was electric -- it was like a cup final," said Damian Lawson, Marketing Manager for Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency Personalized Registrations.

Yes. I'm sure.

OWNZORZ: That car is mine!

I love it when Internet-speak makes it onto license plates.
