Vanity

Leetle bitty steps. A month ago I sent in paperwork and payment for a vanity license plate "PELICN".* I haven't heard anything - I'd expected to get an acceptance note from the RMV by now - so I just went and checked. PELICN is not available. Assuming nobody else applied for the same plate in the last four weeks, it looks like it's been assigned to me and I just have to wait for the plates to be manufactured.

*It's PELICN not PELICAN because there's a 6-character limit in Mass.

Good for you! I've toyed with the idea, but I'm really attached to my license plate. I got it when I bought my first car, I managed to keep it despite moving to NY for a year, and I just can't let go.

But I'm with you in spirit.

I am in a position where my original plate, issued 1985 when I was still in grad school, is so faded I could be ticketed for obscured plate. So I was going to have to give in and either order a new random number plate, or pick one.
