What’s On Your Plate?

You may recall that a few days ago, I rambled on about travelling to Orlando, Florida.

Well, guess what? I’m still rambling about it.

As of this writing, I am currently in the car, on my home from that very trip. We are 192 miles from home and have another 3 hours in the car. All of that information is courtesy of McDaddy’s trusty GPS (TomTom). Might I just add that she is one pushy little gal. And persistant, too.

Without internet access, fourteen hours in the car will make you focus on some strange things. I say without internet access, because on our trip to Florida, I was using McDaddy’s laptop and his air card. (Don’t you love the way I throw the term air card right out there like I’m some technical guru)? Anyway, I was using his laptop when some pop-up appeared asking if I wanted to install some type of software. If I had any sense, I’d ask McDaddy the name of it, so I could let the blogosphere know the name of it so that you could be saved from the type of  havoc it wreaked on McDaddy’s laptop. I did not download the software. I did however, click on the “X” in the upper right hand corner, which is what I thought you were supposed to do when you wanted to close out a window. The software downloaded and McDaddy’s laptop was in a state of disarray for the better part of  5 days. Thankfully, he is a technical genius and was able to restore it’s faculities. So, because I am banned from McDaddy’s laptop for the rest of it’s my life, I am composing this post on notepad and will post it when I get home and don’t have time to write a post from scratch.

While boring McDaddy to death with my tales of woe boredom, I noticed a great number of vanity plates on the road. After about fourteen seconds of wondering if it was safe to write a post about license plates, I thought, sure. Why not?

I’ll not list the state of the license plate. That way no would-be stalker- identity-theft people have access to important information like license plate numbers. If you happened to be driving en route from Florida to Charleston on the same day as the McFamily, I apologize if your license plate ended up here on my blog. 

This is just a sampling of the ones I saw.

PETDOC

Just a few observations….

First of all, I try to never use the word hate. However, I cracked up when I saw ‘IH8MYX’ on a pick up truck. Not nice, but definitely clever.

PETDOC – *smiling* this plate would have been cuter on a car named after an animal like Bettle, Mustang, Cougar, Impala (yes, that is an animal), Jaguar or a Dodge Ram. It just doesn’t have the same effect on a Ford Expedition.

I1This – Cute. Real cute. Too bad it was a beat up hooptie like this one.

God’s Girl – I like that. I like that a-lot.

Here are some ideas I had of my own  (some of which may or may not be on the back of my beloved Saturn Sky if I owned one). Which in case you forgot looks like this.

1. DREAMBIG
2. My Sky 
3. Drool
4. DropTop
5. BlogThis
6. COOLCAR
7. Princess
8. JMandSM
9. SKYHIGH

This was on my vanity plate when I had a 1996 Dodge Avenger.

McDaddy had this plate on his 1980 Buick Electra. (don’t ask)

I think you’ll agree it is, indeed one big car.

Now though, I just have a normal everyday license plate.

I just have to ask. What’s on your plate?
