No, not for eating.
Today, DW and I were talking about some of the special personalized plates that we have seen on cars.
During the discussion, I said that it would be fun to get some for my car with something like "Arr Car" (yes, pirate talk) Or my initals in Hex.
She said that she liked "Sew what?" for hers (she does all kinds of sewing/quilting/embrodory and so on.)
Do any of you have personalized plates, and if so, what is the meaning?
If the money was not an object, what Would you get on a plate, and what would they mean? (no proper names to remain "any mouse" here!)
And have you seen any that you thought were funny or strange.
I have seen one on a VW bug that said "GR8 BUG"

My hubby and I, when we lived in Virginia, had CRSADA, meaning Chrissa's Dad as our license plates... Now that we're here in Ca. we have another plate that's not so special.

Hodad's in San Diego has lots of great personalized license plates on the walls- in fact, I hear if you bring in a good one, they'll give you a free hamburger meal :)

I had one picked out but it got grabbed between checking availablity and getting a new car. It was going to be a California "Kids Plate" that would have a heart symbol. So it would have been (heart)fyrwrx. Love Fireworks
Hubby and I met on a pyro crew. :D:

Those plates cost a bit. I'm not sure a plate and the replacement cost, would be worth the price of a burger!
But we might go check it out!

Hmm, what DOES it cost if Flordia? In California, I found out that there is an initial plate price (up to $90.00) depending on the type of plate (they have a bunch of specalized plates, (9/11 memorial, Kids, Arts, etc.) and then a yearly fee of up to $70.00) again depending on the plate type.

I have seen one online that was a kids plate from Virginia. On the bottom this plate says Kids first and they choose to have the plate read EAT THE, so it said eat the kids first.
