Hahahahaaaaa!
I had a friend who worked at the DMV and she snagged a plate that was NOT personalized...it was just a random plate but it said 2HOT269 !!!! :lipsseal:
She put it on their motorhome. :grin:

They don't interest me now, so much but I had a bout with them in the past,
like the idea of "impersonal" (regular issue "random plates") in Calif.
on the '67 Cougar - actually got 167 JIM (Issued by Walnut Creek DMV in '73)
on the '77 Olds 88 - BOMZ AWA ("Bombs Away") ; replaced with 1JIM123
0n the '82 Crown Victoria 2JIM123
On the '88 Crown Victoria 3JIM988
(I was notified by DMV when the plates were "Coming Up", the DMV was prodded by my local Congressman)
By the 1990s, DMV was unresponsive to even the State Legislators, you couldn't get these impersonal plates, any plate which went to random buyers. I gave up on the idea, so 4JIMxxx and 5JIMxxx went to others
I met one fellow (Mensa meeting) who had a Dodge Coronet station wagon
with the personalized plate "NONE" You can just imagine the consternation he got when the meter maids wrote parking tickets for that car, sometimes he "skated" and sometimes he got an *additional* citation for "NO LICENSE PLATES" even though the car had license plates on it!! Definately a double edged sword!!!:grin:
