UnbridledFury Gearhead Posts: 1468 From: Tacoma, WA Registered: Jun 99	posted 03-04-2005 02:34 AM I was heading off to a meeting tonight and I got cut off by a riced out car - the wing, the fart can and all of the works. I noticed his license plate: RKT - SHP. Now I know he meant "RocKeT SHiP", but the warped side of me came out and it ended up being "RicKeTy SHiP". Now if anyone was paying attention to me at that moment, they would have seen me in my truck all by myself laughing my @$$ off. Sometimes it pays to insure that your vanity plate can't be translated into something else. I'm a bad boy.... ------------------ Motor Safe!

Yeah, my plates read His Passion. Shortened to HSPASSN. Now, I figured some people might read that as He's Passing, as in, I'm driving fast, but a co-worker of my wifes read the plate as Hispanic Assassin! LOL! I'm neither Hispanic, nor am I a killer. And I'm sure not an assassin of Hispanics!

ragtopjr Gearhead Posts: 2528 From: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Registered: Oct 2000	posted 03-05-2005 11:28 AM Well this is not about other peoples plates but yet a rant in the pursuit of the one I have wanted for about 6 years!!! Last summer I finally got to a point financially where I could justify blowing $80.00 bucks on a vanity plate.... A friend of mine has an insurance agency, took my money, and sent in the forms. We had searched to make sure that my dream plate had not been taken.... The search came back clean!!!! I sent in my request for RAGTOP I have always referred to my car as "The Ragtop" and felt that was the perfect moniker for it!!! Low and behold a couple of months later I received my check back for the plate and a letter stating that RAGTOP is a hateful racial slur I damn near lost it!!! I got the names of of a few guys higher up the ladder to try and reason with them So I have no vanity plate due to the fact that "Common sense is that common anymore" But I am not BITTER!!!! :MAD: ------------------ Ed 1984 5.0L LX Conv My Homepage IP: Logged
Dave Gibson Moderator Posts: 8967 From: Norfolk, Virginia, USA M&M#166 MCA#47921 Registered: Aug 99	posted 03-05-2005 02:52 PM Ed, That suxs. Since when is "RAGTOP" a slur New one on me. Now RAGHEAD, that could be considered a slur. But Ragtop??? I don't see it. Fight the good fight Ed and get your plate. NOTE: No offense to any and all that may see "RAGHEAD" as a slur. It is only used for context/refrence and nothing else. Dave & Terri ------------------ '65 Mustang Fastback '66 Mustang Coupe '02 Explorer XLT Common sense isn't common anymore. IP: Logged

I know it's not original, but when I lived in VA Beach, the plates on my Ford Ranger read TR1GGER. Didn't have a stang at the time or these plates would have been on it. Still have them hanging in my garage. ------------------ Jeff '67 S-code Stang coupe '03 Ranger FX4 IP: Logged

SteveLaRiviere Administrator Posts: 43152 From: Saco, Maine Registered: May 99	posted 03-06-2005 06:01 PM For the longest time I had GOO BYE on my Sprint. I dropped it when cops keep stopping me for having no front plate. I refused to put that on the FRONT of my car. Then I went to HRS PWR. That stood for horsepower, but you wouldn't believe how many people didn't get it. Most thought it was 'hours power' When our state starting to allow seven digits I went to HRSE PWR and people seem to get that easier. I still use that plate on my truck. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 Open '70 Mustang Convertible 250 I6/3 speed/2.79 Open '72 Mustang Sprint Hardtop 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Loc '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip IP: Logged

hwyman3 Gearhead Posts: 490 From: Southern Maryland, USA Registered: Jul 2004	posted 03-07-2005 09:34 AM I've been hoping Maryland would drop the front plate for years. I've written to my delegates and to the Secretary of Transportation of the State. Best answer I can get for keeping the front plate is that law enforcement says it would make identifing a car much more difficult. ------------------ *Greg W.* MCA #52100 2002 Laser Red GT Coupe 1991 F-150 XLT 4x2 5.0 Southern Maryland Mustang Club http://mustangsandmore.50megs.com/MembersPics/hwyman3.html IP: Logged
