I can’t be the only one dealing with a cursed or awkward license plate. Share your stories if you’ve got them.
You can usually ask the DMV to give you a new plate if it’s something like this.

My super-religious parents did that for me when I got my first license at 16 because my plate started with 666. Problem solved—or so they thought. A few months later, I got my first car, and the plate it came with started with 666 too. They freaked out again—letters to the DMV, prayers over the car, you name it.
Now, almost 30 years later, I still have that plate. My daughter used to keep it on her wall, and now it’s framed in our office. Makes me laugh every time.

Honestly, 666 is kinda cool.

Thanks for the tip! I’m going to check it out. The dealership couldn’t help because it was already registered, and I really wanted this trim and color.

BWONCO is such a classic!

That’s rough. You’d think they’d skip over some of these combinations at the DMV. My old plate had ‘FJD,’ which made my nephew JD laugh. He joked that it stood for ‘favorite JD.’ When I replaced my plates, I cut out the letters and framed them for him with a note that says, ‘favorite JD.’

Exactly. I didn’t even know this could happen, but here I am with KKK on my truck plate.
And that gift idea is awesome—he’s going to love it!
BZD 2666… Buzzed to hell.
Oh wow, that’s wild.
Not a license plate, but I once had a debit card with a security code of 666.
Wow… you’d think someone at the DMV would’ve caught that.

They honestly don’t care.
I ended up with that on my Tesla.

Well, that feels fitting somehow.
My motorcycle plate starts with 666, courtesy of the DMV. Both a cop and my HR manager have joked about it before.

Maybe it’s because you’re too good-looking and not because of the 666, lol.
My wife’s Bronco plate reads CNT3565.
