Here's a New Hampshire vanity plate, 13 MPG, seen recently on a grey Porsche sports car.

[camp guy]

To Smith Point: I believe that NHIS 1 belongs to the New Hampshire International Speedway, but I like what I think is your interpretation: New Hampshire is Number One.

I have seen other vanity plates with NHIS followed by a number. But, I like what I think is your reading.

[Grandpa Redneck]

Grandma Rednecks plate on her Mustang GT was YZ-AZ and it fits her too

No explanation needed,LOL

Plate belongs to Mr. Bahre. See him often at the Alton PO.

[WakeboardMom]

we've lived in NH since 1983 and have had a variety of vanity plates. The best one came when my second son and his friend decided to get "matching" plates. The friend got, "LVFREE" and my son got "OR-DIE." I pointed out to him that perhaps he did not get the best part of that deal. That plate died of natural causes.

NH has instituted something new to the vanity plate request. One has to write a bried description of the meaning of the letters requested. We found this out a few months ago when my husband got new plates for my daughter's car.

Because of some extenuating circumstances, I have been sharing cars for a couple of years with my husband and daughter. A car for me is in the relatively near future; I've been waiting patiently for a car of my very own. I'm wondering if my choice of plate will pass the sniff test when fill out the new form.

[AussieDog]

Being a Beethoven fan I once had this vanity tag.

DDD-DA

[Argie's Wife]

On the way to work this morning, I got behind BOATN
(NH tags on a truck)...

[Pepper]

Yesterday I saw a very clever NH plate: BO-KS4U. Obviously the driver is creative in more ways than one!

One of my favorite ever, which I see frequently around town: IMAREK I crack up every time I see it.

[Rattlesnake Guy]

I sat in line at the town hall while the couple in front of me tried vanity plate after vanity plate with "naughty meanings". I felt bad for the clerk who kept telling them, "nope the state won't let you have that either". I felt worse for me as I had to wait while the brain trust just kept trying to say anything inappropriate they could think of. I had a few ideas for them but had enough sense to keep them to myself.

[tummyman]

One of the best plates I ever saw was:

PB4UGO

How true is that.....?

There's an App for that.. (well not really an App... a product) and the company I work for distributes it. Sells like crazy! It contains a powder that absorbs and turns to a gel.



The box graphics are perfect... we have all been in that postion!

Maybe I should call on some local marinas and snowmobile shops.

I think going to the marinas is a great idea, given what we saw a woman do off the back platform of her boat yesterday!!!!! (while standing up yet)

[Bubs]

My father frequents this forum and recommended it to me; as a regular forum user I figured this would be a great place to join! It's great to become a member of a forum comprised of local people!

My Vanagon with a Subaru EJ22 motor swap, had it for six years. Vanity plate #1



My Nissan Versa also has a vanity plate, although it does not really make any sense and I can never come up with an actual reason for getting it! Alas, Kung-POW! This Versa is the fourth car to be graced with the KungPow plate!

[jkjoshuatree]

...that is freakin' hilarious.

Any chance you've seen (or are a fan of) "Dumb & Dumber"?

If so, you'll know what I mean, if not, you should see it. You may get a chuckle out of it (stupid, sophomoric humor, but humor nonetheless).

I've seen Dumb & Dumber, but I (assuming my username could be a reference?) don't remember a whole lot from it. I started contributing to online forums at age 13 (I'll be 21 this fall) and Bubs has always been my username.

This isn't a vanity plate but I thought it was pretty funny.

Jim Carrey goes across country in a van that looks like a dog and they call it the Shaggin' Wagon.

"Chicks dig it", he says at one point, and it always struck me as funny...told ya it was sophomoric humor...lol.

"My Nissan Versa also has a vanity plate, although it does not really make any sense and I can never come up with an actual reason for getting it! Alas, Kung-POW! This Versa is the fourth car to be graced with the KungPow plate!"

Kung Pow Enter the Fist movie is one of the stupidest, yet funniest movies to ever hit the big screen. For like, maybe a day.

[Gatto Nero]

Not lake related but my son, an Army ROTC Cadet at Norwich, just got this plate for his bike. I was shocked it was available.

[RailroadJoe]

I don't do G-Mailo. What does the plate read?

[Jmo77011]

PB4UGO is my neighbor! I see the truck on my morning walk, and it always makes me smile.

Why? It's not a swear word...

From Wiki:

Hooah (pronounced /ˈhuːɑː/) is a U.S. Army (and rarely Canadian Army) battle cry used[1] by soldiers and also in use by the U.S. Air Force airmen "referring to or meaning anything and everything except no."

It's all though the movie Scent of a Woman - if you've seen that movie, then you've heard that terms a few dozen times...

Saw this one today at Loews in Gilford..


New Hampshire Plate: IAM1UP

Bet the driver is a golfer... and probably lousy at math... like most golfers

[ApS]

If you're following this plate around the lake on a weekend, be prepared to stop at every yard sale, and watch about a dozen women go "shopping".

I finally got my Lake Winnipesaukee themed license plate!

The straight shaft inboard/propeller really helps with our gas mileage.

This rear window is brought to you by Gator Signs of Gilford, along with the Winnipesaukee.com Store and Fargo from the Little Mount thread.


(It may be hard to tell, but that is a Winnipesaukee.com sticker in the upper left corner of the window.)
I think I may be a nerd.

[tis]

I LOVE that plate!

[patman]

My favorite for the area...and no, it's not mine:

[Rangervx]

mine reads KEWAYDN for Keewaydin Point in Winter Harbor (VA tag)

[camp guy]

I am fascinated by vanity plates, and all the various attempts to represent the Lake or other surrounding areas. From you, RG, I would expect nothing less than what you have - great job.

(My plate, PCONE, goes back to 1968 !)

Spotted this vanity plate at Beans and Greens today.



I looked around, but didn't see the president.

[Gatto Nero]

No surprises here, I guess.

... but saw this one on a very nice car in the Lowes Parking lot yesterday
Just stuck me as very funny...

If not for the dog prints, I might have agreed with you, Hilltopper.
I would bet tHat this is an owner of a Cairn Terrier, or maybe they just like piles of rocks!

Upthesaukee, maybe the car owner's name is Karen and she has a Cairn Terrier.

[Merrymeeting]

My son's new plates. We were both surprised it was available.

[SteveA]

We saw LESXOST on a Pirus yesterday

[Rattlesnake Gal]

I was excited to see these two plates today!

[topwater]

I check with DMV and they said this is still available. So if anyone wants it, go for it.

[Merrymeeting]

Aren't there rules and regulations about what can be displayed on vanity plates? For example, I thought they reviewed applications and would reject anything that refers to something obscene or offensive.

If that is the case, how did this one get by?

Seen heading north on the Spaulding Turnpike in Dover. New Hampshire plates... I repeat, NH plates, with "YANKEES"

If that isn't obscene, what is?!!!

[WinterHarborGirl]

I saw a NH plate yesterday in Moultonboro....TIS.....was that you TIS?

I wanted FNFUNFN (" Fun, fun, fun") for my new-to-me convertible, and according to NH website it was available. It got kicked back. : (

I got -FUN instead. My husband says it should be interesting if (when) he gets stopped for speeding and the police officer says, "Are we having fun now?!?

Saw one last night in Gilford: NH plate, WNTRHBR

[Island Life]

I'm not sure if this vehicle was mentioned earlier, but I was in my non-summer town (not in NH) and walked past a parked truck with the plate "GOVSISL". I waited about 10 minutes for the owner to show up and sure enough he lives part time on Governors

[SteveA]

in the Lowe's Parking lot in Gilford. Perfect for this truck!

[Argie's Wife]

At a doctor's appointment in Concord, and parked next to a black Mustang with the NH plate:

FN23YRS

It was obvious that 23YRS = 23 years, but what did FN mean?

I was relieved when the driver said "fun" - I figured the plates were commemorating a divorce or an anniversary.

[Wolfeboro_Baja]

Rattlesnake Gal, re: your July post about the "AIR4CE1" plate, I work with a guy who has the fraternal twin to that plate, "AIR4CE"; as expected, he's retired USAF.

Last Friday, my wife and I took the day off to get out on the lake on the best day of the weekend and while in Meredith, we spotted "WNPSKE" on a Mercedes C-Class. Anyone know the owner?

As I was loading our stuff into our truck at West Alton Marina yesterday afternoon (unfortunately we had just closed the camp for the year) I noticed a kindred spirit parked next to us!

I can understand some of those, but some of them I don't really see what harm they can do. As a matter of fact, I think some of them are funny. Too bad we can't have a sense of humor in this world any more.

I posted above that the DMV wouldn't let me have "FNFUNFN." I wanted "Fun, fun, fun" with a nod to the Beach Boys as the license plate on my convertible. It reminds me of being back in school with the good Sisters of Charity. "It only takes one misbehaved person to ruin it for the whole class."

"ALKEZ" for Andy, Lynne, Kayla, Emily and Zachary. I told him he was just asking for the police to stop him.

I know this has nothing to do with the lake but I had to share the plate that my son just got for his truck. It signifies U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery Officer. He was just commissioned yesterday as a Second Lieutenant after graduating from Norwich University on Saturday. Gatta Nera is not happy that he leaves for his first assignment tomorrow.

When this thread started, I was still living out of state. I grew up on boats and it has always been a love affair. I finally moved from Colorado 2.5 years ago, and was very excited to get my first choice: "BOATER" -- I get comments on it all the time, I lucked out that it was available (was told it had been released recent to my request). My plate is simple and me in a nutshell...from my passion for boating to my volunteer work on and off the water!

Back in the day, I drove a '73 Chevelle SS and had one of the old USA-1 plates on the front. That was back when we only had to show one "official" plate. (I loved that car...not quite as cool as the body style that preceded it, but still a cool car. ; )

The 'coolest' bodies that ever came from the GM was the '67 Sting Ray, the '68 Pontiac Firebird and the '69 Camaros. All cars built after that looks like junk.

[Great Northern Cleaning]

Did it work...

[The Boatwiser]

I see this one all the time - because it's my wife's! Got it about 20 years ago when we bought our cottage. Connecticut only gives you 6 digits on plates so it becomes a challenge to come up with something that actually makes sense.

Uo tp $148 for vanity plates. Seems a little steep. Connecticut really likes to tax in any way it can.

What about... I8ALOON..

....here's a good one...... a NH vanity plate ........H I S S........on a 1970's Ford Cobra, bright orange, fastback.....not a Mustang but maybe a Ford Torino Cobra fastback......beauty of a car, baby...... with excellent paint and an awesome sounding carbureted, snake engine under-the-hood, saw it in the Lowe's-Gilford parking lot, yesterday.

I just checked that coolpl8z.com link and "MMMBEER" is now at #25 and "IFARTED" is now at #72.

I used to have a vanity plate that might have made both the "banned in NH" list and the coolpl8z.com list; actually, I'm surprised it doesn't show up on the banned list now. That plate was "QQQQ".

Those that "got it" usually pointed and laughed! The few people that didn't "get it" until I explained it to them laughed once they heard the explanation (my mother was in this group, she thought it was hilarious!). Then there was the one guy that complained to DMV (an elderly person apparently with no sense of humor) and I received a letter from DMV telling me to turn it in and pick something else.

I only had "QQQQ" for about 7 months; the replacement was "-BFD-", my way of retaliating for having to give up "QQQQ". I ended up with "-BFD-" for a few years! The funny thing was, the clerk at DMV that gave me "QQQQ" gave a knowing smirk when I told her what I wanted but she gave it to me anyway!

My current plate is "SCHWING", taken from the movie "Wayne's World".

[RailroadJoe]

How about "QQ+QQ"

[BroadHopper]

My aunt has 'BP 49' which is her initials and the year she graduated from high school. I ask for 'RP 69' which is my initials and the year I graduated. and you would never guess they would not approve because of the 69. Yet I have seen standard plates with 69 somewhere in the numbers.

So I ask for 'RLP13' and they accept! You would think '13' will be criminal but I guess not.

Back in the days I had a Hemi with the plates 'HUMBLE', that will be another story.

[Winnisquamguy]

Some are funny, some I don't understand why they're banned.

[MeredithMan]

I haven't seen it myself, but I've been told that there is a large 4X4 in the area with the plate, "BG JNSN". Could either be a tall person named "Johnson", or something else....

[IslandRadio]

Wow, someone doesn't have any sense of humor at all !!!

Sure, some of them don't belong, but I would say more than half are just fine by any normal (normal being the operative word) standard.

Amazing!

[MeredithMan]

Personally, I think it's hilarious! I was just trying to keep my post clean and the humor tongue-in-cheek. Maybe it IS a tall person named Johnson....

What's with the hatin' on "fun" in a couple of different variations? I understood when they wouldn't let me have "FNFUNFN" but what's the problem with "FUN-FUN?" And there was a least one other that mentioned fun in that list of banned plates...
