    Michigan recently changed their plates. In the change they went from 6-digit plates to 7-digit plates with 3 letters, a space, and 4 numbers. There was an entire series printed with BJS xxxx. At first I wondered why the chick in the VW New Beetle was so proud of how many BJs she had performed.

    I've seen a bunch of BJR's, though too.


    Maybe it's just that BJS stands out

    @Lost in the age of Aerostar: I remember when NH did its mandatory changeover to the new plates (six, then seven numbers instead of AAA-999) the most common combinations at first were 895-### and 896-###. By midsummer most of them seemed to be 235-###. There were a few other common ones I've forgotten. I think they just assigned chunks of plates by region.


    Most people have replaced their six-digit plates by now, though, and there aren't any real patterns, as they started with 100-#### when they went to seven digits, and seem to be assigning them in a completely random fashion. Usefully, though, any young person with a plate starting with, at present, 265 or higher is probably a dickbag (they're up to 274 or 276 or something now) - it indicates that their car was only recently plated, and is either their first or a replacement for one that was wrecked.

    @Baron Plushroom von Falconpunchen: Ah yes, Louisiana had a mandatory changeover from (?something?) to AAA-999 back around '93 or so, assigned sequentially. You can tell who's had their car since then as they all start with A-D, basically... there's a beautiful black early '90s MR2 with plate starting in CYG or something in the neighbourhood that I want, badly.

    Virginia is far and away the best place to go for vanity plate spotting. They're cheap enough over there that everyone can be clever or cute. I've seen a Mustang GT with "SLOWWWW", a BMW 3er with "IN TENTS", so many more I can't remember.

    @Gutpunch McRodbender, a strolling player's understudy: Virginia has the highest percentage of vanity plates in the country. It seems like everybody has them. Being a Hokie, I'm a big fan of the anti-UVA ones, especially the UVA plate that has the v and crossed sabers followed by agina, and the UVA sucks.


    The EATTHE letters on the "Kids First" plate is a thing of genius, and happens to be somewhere around Blacksburg as well.

    One of my favourite VT-themed plates is the Grand Cherokee that's always parked near the Daycare Centre: "S3IK0H". Awesome especially because Virginia has front plates. The blue RSX I used to always see in the cage with "OMGMOV3" is pretty good, too.

    I heard that a few states--VA and IL come to mind--don't assess an extra fee for vanity plates, so they have very high amounts of them. Most states it's an extra $25-$100 a year.

    This is combining two of my most hatred things in life, customized license plates and vegans. But a vegan with a customized license plate? Now that's just crossing the line.
    For some reason, which I'll never understand, customized plates are huge in Ohio. They aren't clever. They aren't cool. They make you look like an illiterate douche. I especially hate them when you can't even make them out. It's like some stupid ass inside joke the moron occupant inside is trying to make public, but can't, because NO ONE ELSE GETS IT. The absolute worst is when you see some one driving a Cobalt and their plate says something along the lines of "Lvmyblt", shut up. You don't love your Cobalt; it's a FUCKING COBALT. No one loves the Cobalt. The only time I ever love the Cobalt is when it's in a horrific car-wreck.


    Vegans .... *Shivers and slowly counts to 10*. Really? You think it's not a good idea to eat anything that comes from animals? You know why animals exist? FOR US TO EAT THEM. Do me a favor, vegan. Reach into your mouth and touch your thumbs to the two teeth two out from the middle. What are those? Canine teeth. What are they for, vegan? EATING MEAT. Vegan, "Ohh I don't drink milk because it comes from a cow and what they do to the cow to get it is so disgusting blah blah blah." Fuck you vegan, fuck you.
