Wow that's 8)

[CTSLICK]

A PPC geek...but a well paid geek apparently :wink:

[Jason Dunn]

HAH! Awesome! I was thinking of getting one like that. But considering I'm worrying on expanding my focus, I was thinking of this:

THOUGHTS

Damn, too many letters.

THOTS ?
THOGHTS ?

Ugg, forget that. I'll just stick with my KENSAI license plate unless anyone has a creative idea. Maybe PPCT?

[trachy]

Hey - I bet that guy/gal can afford a Lexus I-S! ;-)

How about DUNNDAT?

[Hyperluminal]

Jason- I know that in the US (specifically NY) you can have up to 8 chars. So here you could do,

THTSMDIA
THOUGHTS
or how about...
LUVMYPPC :D

[Sheynk]

I wish it was mine!!!!!!





dont you just love this scenario:

you are sitting in a restaurant and someone calls out "Would the owner of a black Benz come outside, you lights are on"...and then you stand up and people give you odd looks...

I dont know the moral of that story.............

[vetteguy]

Not to be the wet blanket, and it probably doesn't matter, but sometimes people can be finicky about having their license place number displayed on the internet, especially if they don't even know about it. Just something to think about.

[sponge]

I like PPCT. Wouldn't mean much to those who don't know the site, but oh well.

I´m pretty sure that the car owner will be very happy when he finds out his passion is recognized and with so much support :D

[Unreal32]

I've got a friend who has a great license plate, especially if you chat a lot.... hers is: AFK BRB :lol:

[sponge]

I had an interesting find today too...

I think I got it now...

[Jason Dunn]

I think this might belong to a Microsoft guy that lives in LA named Kurt...but I'm just guessing.

[sswany]

I live around there, I'm in Westwood. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING :lol: ...isn't it the honest truth. :mrgreen:

[spontaneous]

Ok.. My freggin eyes got bigger than my head when I got to ppcthoughs today... one of the pocketpc geek fellows is stalking me?? 8O
Nah.. not mine, just the same rare color, I would love to have that license plate thuugh. If you guys find this guy/gal, let me know, so I can go 'aquire' that license plate. I am not in santa monica unfortunately, but I am up here in the geek town silicon valley. Any ppc fans here up for nor cal network snail match?? :lol:

[spontaneous]

I am not up to date with these chat stuff. anybody would like to fill me in?

Away From Keyboard Be Right Back

[jonlien2003]

jason,

you are right. that car belongs to kurt from microsoft.

the reason i know is because i attended a pocket pc meeting that kurt hosted and he presented the audience with that very same license plate. he told us that he just got it from the dmv. this was about a year ago.

[John Hung]

Yes it belongs to Kurt. I attend the LA PPCUG meeting regularly and that is Kurt's car. He has another pretty sports car as well. Hmmm...I wonder why Microsoft charges so much for all their software suites? :roll:

[rhmorrison]

Hmmm...I wonder why Microsoft charges so much for all their software suites? :roll:
Come on guys...

It's only a 3 series BMW, Now if he had a 7 series (or even the new 5 series model that has just come out) THEN I might be impressed.

[davidspalding]

One of the neatest vanity plates I've seen was here in North Carolina.... VANITY

[theon]

Okay... I just got to chime in here, just to take off this joined for the contests tag... :wink: I've got one for the "Please scratch my car" category.

Saw this fancy foreign sports car once with the license plate PAIDCASH.

An 'accident' waiting to happen... 8O

[antoni]

I'd like to change mine, but I think its not possible in Spain...hmmm it would be cool. I must say it would be nicer than in a BMW.

Yeah, those aren't that expensive. Just a little bit better than a 325. I'd buy one here, but I'd have to wait two months to have it made and shipped to me.

[rhmorrison]

But then WHO KNOWS what they charge for 3 series car in the US?

I really do like the 5 series car. I saw one on my last trip to BMW München. VERY NICE! :way to go:

[icatar]

I saw a great vanity plate on a Mercedes in NY:

IEATBMWS

:lol:

[spontaneous]

I wouldn't want to be this kurt guy.. People you don't know just recognize you on the street/internet by the...... license plate?????? now that's scary.

[Majestic]

My favorite was one that I saw on an old Vette.

NE14A69

:P

How about:
CUL8R

Heh.

Sometimes for some people, that's the desired effect.

[disconnected]

A few of my favorites --

MYWABBT (On a VW Rabbit)

SVEN (On a Volvo; I'm assuming that was the car's name, not the owner's).

FERRARI (on a Pinto)

The absolute WORST --

CEO (I can't imagine the ego to have that on a plate).

I know they have a place here that sells to US Military only. They sell American Spec cars they get delivered straight from the assembly line. They sell the 325 for about $24000 which is about a $4000 discount from the US sticker price. The only problem is that it takes 2 months to get your car.

AND you don't have to pay sales tax either! I picked up my Passat in Vogelweh for dirt cheap. Speaking of which, don't patronize that place on the corner by the Pizza Hut. Those bastards tried to pull the bait and switch on me, and the only reason I think we got out of there with a car is because my wife just about had a nervous breakdown. :evil:

[Kati Compton]

This may be getting a bit...well... um... math-geeky.

My all-time-favorite, which I did not actually see but only heard of, is an Acura Integra with the license plate DXDT. Maybe it's a hoax, but I like it.

[bridgecrosser]

My Canadian license plate is PKT PC1! :)

Agreed, but if it was an M3, well...then were talkin'.

Why, you like bad design?

Sorry sir, Bangle is an idiot and he is about to ruin that brand. Skip the 7 series, buy a A8L and drive with class.

Jeez, what a geek. :mrgreen:

fwiw, I failed calculus twice.

I don't deny it - but you obviously picked up SOME calc if you got the joke. I liked math in high school. When I got to college I discovered "Math Is Hard", and got harder each course I took. Linear Algebra... DiffEq... Eeeeeek....

When they started to have us integrate over curved surfaces, I lost it.

[ctmagnus]

I liked math in high school.

High school math was fun. Trig, algebra, geometry... You name it, I loved it (except calculus). We even had a math cheer and a "Math 12 Fight Song" :)

When I got to college I discovered "Math Is Hard"....

I became somewhat dissuaded on the subject about the same time.

For me - same with Physics. I loved statics. But E&M? <shiver> Bad thing, I know, for a CompE.... Oh well.
