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.

Cute! :) I knew someone in the Outlands who was 'DADUKE'.

You'll want to seek out Master Nikolai and park next to him... he has a similar (but Maine-based) plate :)

I envision an "sca vanity plates" parking area at some event, and a little tour leaving from the list field on the hour....

Mine is "Hennin".

COOL!!! I've thought about vanity plates, but haven't really thought of anything I want to be burdened with forever.

Random thoughts:

Best Vanity plate from Pennsic "GULES" seen on a Red Honda.

California offers seven letters. Their DMV was confused why the first day there were ten requests for "NCC 1701". Quote "Why would someone want that?"

Do all ya'all Easterners know that since there is a Calontiri who is a lobbyist, there are specialty "Calontir" plates in Missouri? A lot of folks get them *and* put vanity letters on them.

;)

...I just have to wait for the plates to be manufactured.

By actual prisoners, even!

(Apparently FRET is available — no longer of interest to me, but someone should take it!)

Catching up...


RI has long used an XX-999 format, but recently they've switched to a 799-999 format: 6 digits, always starting with a 7. I like my plate (XN-913) and Beth is very attached to her WB-466 (which she's had forever). We're afraid that when we renew, we'll get switched. We're thinking of applying for vanity plates, and then requesting XN-913 and WB-466. The alternate is to get a "real" vanity number: I'm considering AG-WING (on an old suggestion by Johannes von Narrenstein). Beth hasn't decided, since HOBBIT and HOBBITT are apparently taken...


Hey, I certainly remember Taran, the founding Steward of House Silverwing. We had our differences, to be sure, but I'll always be inspired by his adamantine constancy. The man stood by his beliefs.
