Several weeks ago my husband picked me up from the airport after a trip to the homeland. He was driving a new (to us) vehicle. Said vehicle was purchased “for me”, without my knowledge, input, or blessing. Surprise! I don’t think I gave him quite the Lexus-wrapped-in-a-ginormous-red-bow reaction he was hoping for.

I do like the vehicle, and I’m sure on some level, he was trying to make me happy. But a move like this defies all semblance of marital control I pride myself on maintaining. I immediately wondered what his ulterior motives were (the frontrunner to date is that he thinks he’s in a better position to upgrade his own vehicle if my ride is satisfactory). Regardless of his reasons, it’s clear I must wrest control back.

To remind him who’s boss, I thought it might be fun to order a personalized license plate for the new ride. They must be cheap in Arizona, because everyone has one. To see my Hawkeye fan husband tool around town with GO4GIRL plates would be well worth the extra car payments he incurred. Shockingly, no one else in the state has scooped up GO4GIRL, so it’s mine for the taking.

A quick search of the database retrieves some other interesting finds: Plates containing VIK lead those containing PACK, 463 – 434. Both, however, run a distant third to the results for PUG (756).

GO4HOKY , GO4MN, MNGO4Z – thank God I’m not alone here.

GO4GZUS, GO4GOD – thank God for everything, apparently.

GODENNY – could be read two ways, but I think we all know the Denny to which this refers.

FAVRE – 60 contain FAVRE. Seriously?

TJACK – 24 contain TJACK. What are the odds it’s homage to the TJACK we know and love?

What are your favorite personalized plates, real or imagined? Any suggestions for my car?
