The Prowler
Just as the summer hots dry up previously liquid creek beds, once in a while this cat's pile of things to write about also dries up--not coincidentally, in the summertime! Fortunately, there's an ace up the Prowler's paw for times like this; in this case, the ace hasn't been played in more than four months! That's right--it's time to laugh at the latest batch of personalized license plates!
But first, a note for those who've always wanted a so-called "vanity plate" but are bored by the traditional blue-on-white color arrangement. There are also special interest plates with cool backgrounds available for personalization: arts, coastal protection, firefighters, kids, Lake Tahoe, Olympic training, Yosemite and veterans. Each raises funds for causes related to their themes. For more info, or to search the California DMV database to see if a configuration is available, click over to plates.ca.gov on the Internet!
And now on to the plates! SEEUNLG was seen in "LG" on a busy route: Los Gatos Boulevard. A plate related more to car than place was SUB5SEC on a sleek red convertible on Highway 17 with acceleration to match its name. Despite a plate proclaiming OK2B50, the Prowler wonders if the car's driver had some issues about reaching the half-century mark. No whining or silliness allowed by the SUV driver, however, whose plate sports the comment OBHAYVE! And there's no doubt who's in control of the car whose plate declares MOM PWR!
Among funnier plates the Prowler has spied include KINDBUS on an old VW "microbus" on Highway 85, MOOCOWS and OY VEYY on Hwy. 17 cars and LOCOLUE, LV2BYTE and TRAYBON on N. Santa Cruz Avenue vehicles.
