When I was younger, I had this habit of making little phonetic names out of license plate numbers. Especially in Arizona, it's three letters, three numbers (though before the 80s it was the reverse) and it was a cute little game to 'name' them.
Well, yesterday I was out and I saw this late-model oldsmobile (I think) van and the license plate sorta called out to me. It said NGZ ***. I remembered my little game......I wondered who was driving the van. It turned out to be this black gentleman and his kid I'd seen in the store just earlier.

Honestly...Where the hell did this come from?!?! ???

I do the same thing. Guess it was my luck to get a plate with only one letter and 5 numbers on it. Nothing can be made out of that... depresses the hell outta me...

Great. Mine starts with DMB.

First thing that came to my mind when I first saw the plate.
Me, to car dealer...
"Can I have a different plate?"
"Sure"
He brings back one with a different last 4 digits. All the plates they had started with DMB. When I told him people would look at it and see "dumb" he had that deer in the headlights look...

Well, if he is that daft, maybe they gave him those plates on purpose... ;D

I think it's a cultural thing. I still have troubles figuring out the '3' thing. That kind of stuff I just don't identify with. And growing up, letters were abbreviations, almost period.
