Vanity plates, I really do not get. Congratulations JEF, you own that car! Now get out of my face. I mean, what’s going on in the heads of these people? Did we need convincing that he actually owned that car? Maybe I am just naive, but I’ve always assumed that if you are driving a private vehicle that you must own it or at least know the person who owns it.
Oh, you just want to be unique? But I thought all plates are unique? Or maybe you just want to label it so that noone can claim it as their own? Trust me Jeff, as far as anti-theft devices go, vanity plates must be the worst idea in the history of bad ideas.
But it’s a step-up, I must admit, from Mang Pandoy proudly branding the back of his owner jeep, “Property of dela Cruz Family”. Not much of step-up, but a step up. I mean, really, you have a better car, you’ve employed a better branding technique, but you’ve just announced proudly to the whole world the same backward mentality.
If you are going to brand your car anything, go for that one plate that says “NCQR”. Then, at least, you are being honest.
You're absolutely right, Don Dee. Guys with vanity plates tend to have small dcks. And women with vanity plates tend to have...whatever. The only time i ever had one was for my bike when i got arm-twisted into getting a commemorative plate for a cause. Mine was "bigdck." But in fairness, i never used it, as my sense of humility prevailed. It was put to good use though, as my 8 y.o. nephew has a class project, i think, and it seems he plans to show it to his homeroom teacher. He was pretty enthusiastic about it too.
ReplyDeleteAnother "vanity plate" I hate: The number "8"
ReplyDeleteYes, i get the urge to salute with my middle finger every time i see a vehicle with an "8" plate, and to spit at it.
ReplyDeletePangarap ko magkaroon ng vanity plate "CRIME LORD" panlaban dun sa mga may plate na "POLICE". Gusto ko ipatung sa EUROPLATE. Nagcanvass na ako ng Europlate. P250 lang sa Lung Center Sunday Fair. Original daw yun galing Germany.
ReplyDelete- biz
Sidecar ko (pedicab) lagyan ko ng Europlate, at patungan ng "8" na congress plaka. Astig di ba?
