Well, new for me.
I had never bought a car from a dealership before- every other time I bought a car I just threw a couple grand at someone and signed the title. Damn, there was a lot of paperwork. I seriously signed fewer papers when I enlisted in the Army.
Slammed the Steelers sticker on the car before I even left the lot, and getting used to the new angle of the windshield took about 2/3 of the ride home.
Thinking about a vanity plate, and I might try to slide EFF-EWE or EPH-EWE through and see if I can get away with it.

Some fancy photoshop work there.

I was going to point out that someone damaged the car already but you confessed to defacing the back window yourself.
Happy motoring!

You could go with ‘EFF YOU’, just to be straightforward about your misanthropy.

If West Virginia is anything like Illinois, forget it. We got full-time paid staff whose sole purpose is to make sure license plates don’t have such vulgarities hidden inside. Why not IH8PPL or maybe just Tunch?

Congrats! Now you just need to pick a nice field to get her stuck in.

@ronin122:
Tunch being a proper name and all that may not be allowed, especially in that part of the country.

Maybe you could try PHHUGH bet that would pass

Congrats, huevon. Nice lookin’ ride. Protip: use the cupholders to carry yr mustard jars. Helpful if the Grey Poupon limo pulls up alongside requesting some.

This fixation on Subaru’s isn’t some clever way of outing yourself now is it? Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Would suggest slapping a hand-applied coat of good quality wax on it periodically. Those silver or gunmetal paint jobs often have a tendency to fade and/or develop a splotchy look when left outdoors in sun and weather.

@SiubhanDuinne: Everyone around here knows Tunch because I go shopping with the FEED bag with his picture. I tell people it’s the cat’s blog when they admire him. I also fill it with food and treats once a week for the local shelter. It’s a good size bag for a good size cat.

Cole needs a reversible plate. One for when he’s all Fuck you, I hate all of you, and another one for the good days. Or maybe just “LOVE LILY”. That’s good for all days.

A few years ago in my old neighborhood in Richmond, VA I always used to see a green 70s Ford LTD with a plate that said MILF MAN.
Before the acronym a was as well known, probably wouldn’t get away with it now. Lol

@ronin122: It’s true the nation over. There’s a story about a FC in ME who, harking back to his home, got OUI OUI. ME DOT let him have it for a while, but eventually decided that it didn’t matter what language it was in, wee-wee was still wee-wee.

There was a flap down here in FL several years ago when the state tried to revoke a JEWBAN license plate. Dude was half Jewish, half Cuban (not that uncommon in S FL), but the DMV was afraid people would think it referenced a ban on Jews. The Jewban guy ultimately prevailed, IIRC.
