My License Plates
Yes, I have a vanity plate. I have two. If I could get a plate on my tractor, I'd have one on that too. I just refuse to be "normal" with my vehicles. This is the first plate I had, on the (dis)Sable. Note that that is chat threesome in the numbers?
This is the first plate I had on my truck. This is just about as boring as one can get for a combination plate. I couldn't make any cute rhymes or little lingos with it. It had to go. So, $180 and a ton of thought later-
it became this! Now, what does it stand for? Well, besides just looking damn cool, it actually stands for Quinnequack, which was the name of my Grandparents farm/orchard business. Again, why be normal?
So, I bought Eileen. The plate I was given from the DMV? Ended in PSH. I HATE the group Phish. Everyone would say that to me, "Oh, cool license plate". Ok, the stoners, when they noticed would. So, you KNOW it was going the first chance I had.
Having to wait the 6 week DMV period was killing me, but, I went back to my creativity and pulled up this, the QNQK shorter still for Quinnequack, and the 21 for the age I was when I got the plate, Paul O'Neill's jersey, and my house number.
The QNQK21 plate suffered a nasty scratch in 2004. It was actually cheaper to replace the damn plate with something new, because in order to get the plates reissued I would have had to reregister the car twice. Sooo... Computer Geek!
