Talk:Vanity plate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is 666 a common fragment for fictional license plate numbers? --SuperDude 02:38, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
I noticed that the Alberta registry issues plates with 666 as part of the normal numbering sequence. - Dr Haggis - Talk 19:01, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pimpala?
What's the deal with Florida banning the word "Pimpala"?
- I don't know what the person who wanted it had in mind (to give the benefit of the doubt, it might have been P. IMPALA with the P standing for something), but it was probably banned for looking like Pimp with a few letters tacked onto the end. --Icarus 04:02, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] PA 343-NYC
I saw the owner of that 343-NYC plate get out of her car and beat someone who took a picture of her plate. This was on a public street. And yes, I find it offensive. Who do I report an offensive plate to?
- Yes, that is really offensive. I knew people who died and that really should be taken off the road and whoever got the plate should be tossed in the nearest FDNY firehouse where the guys have been told what the person had for their vanity plate. There is no excuse for this trivialization of those who died that day! WestchesterGuy 13:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

- Until seeing these posts, I assumed that the plate was intended not in any way that would generally be considered offensive, but instead as a sort of tribute or memorial. A "never forget" type of thing. I wouldn't be surprised the plate's owner had a loved one among those 343. What offensive interpretation were you guys thinking of? Or do you just think that a vanity plate is too tacky to be a memorial? It's not what I'd choose, but to each their own. --Icarus 04:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
