It would be perfect for a rescued moss-covered car from the PNW! |

Haha, cool!
There's a guy near my house with a non-VW that says "OVAL". I'm waiting to see him in town somewhere or parked in the street because I don't want to post a photo of his driveway. |
I realized I could just post the plate... duh

Here is a picture of the plate on my Atlas Cross Sport and a recent find on eBay. That number has been mine since the mid 80s. What are the odds of finding a 108 year old plate with the same number being sold on eBay?

I got tired of people asking me who "vert" was so I changed from

Yes. I still get people that ask me what year it is.

Don't all you guys know that someone is going to run your plate and find your house and is gong to come and mow your lawn.

The paranoia surrounding this is absolutely hilarious! People that go all "end of the world" over a post on the "net" showing their plate number for a few select like minded folks to see when they display that same plate on the street in traffic for tens of thousands with cell phone cameras to see every day. Ha, ha!
I love this thread by the way, great stuff! Keep them coming, the best one gets their lawn mowed by yours's truly!

That hit the Trifecta. It tied-in the skull, the plate, and the plate frame. Plus, there is the rhyming of KOMBI and ZOMBI. |
