Nice

But, how did you explain the plate so they'd allow it...DMV keeps telling me I can't use a "3" in place of an "E"

I've had this plate for 8 years now and just moved it from car to car, maybe they are more uptight now? I didn't have to explain the "3" was in place of an "E" at the time. I just told them what it meant and it was approved.

They changed the rules recently. No numbers substituted for letters. I don't know what the point of this rule is. Add to the long, long, long list of weird CA rules, laws & regulations.

As much as hate saying it at times, yeah CA gets a bit carried away


However, it seems it may just be the whim of the DMV employee reviewing the application on a given day - my wife had a personalized plate saying CRUCIO (some spell from Harry Potter movie) and all was good for a couple of years, but she just got a new car and requested the same plate spelled CRUCCIO as a 1960s legacy plate and it was denied because of being offensive.

wow. You might be able to petition. I recall someone doing so and they were allowed the plate. You might try going into your local DMV with the paperwork and explain to them the meaning of the plate.

Burger Mobile. Our daughter's nickname is Burger. If you can't tell, those are Lego pieces on the license plate because I'm hilarious.

I pulled into a restaurant parking space one evening with the top down and as I was putting the top up, a guy who was quite intoxicated on the patio stood up and exclaimed "Hey look everyone, It's a transformer!"

I guess the name kinda stuck!

The probability of us being good friends is pretty high if I dont have to explain it to you.
