OLROSES

I always get a few religion related vanity plates on my visits to The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. I guess OLROSES is meant to deliver the phrase “old roses” for some reason, but I haven’t found a pop culture reference.

Rose Magazine has a page that details classes (of roses) that existed prior to 1867 when the first hybrids were introduced.

I’ve heard many references to dead roses, but never “old” roses, so there’s probably a story here that I won’t be able to figure out very easily. It’s probably got a Catholic theme, given the nature of those bumper stickers and location of the vehicle on a sunny Sunday morning.

The Free Dictionary gives a predictable definition for “old roses”, but I don’t think that’s the intended message for this plate. I’m guessing it has something to do with life, love and some older folks who may be a group of Catholic friends, but who knows? Maybe the driver will stumble over this page and let us know!

HRZLVR

If you instantly went here, I completely understand. Even though I instantly knew what this Virginia affinity vanity plate was “saying” (because of the horse logo), my mind is perpetually somewhere between the storm drain and the watershed. So, we have a Volkswagen driving horse lover right here. That is all.

1THERE

I didn’t ask the meaning even though I had a long conversation with the owner of this Jamestown Virginia affinity plate, so I don’t have the story and won’t try to guess. The Porsche Boxster looked like it is certainly fun to drive—especially after a very heavy, late January morning rain we had today in the DC area. The sun beaming down with the white, fluffy clouds almost made me want to trade cars!

COLOR

Without talking to this Ford driver, it would be tough trying to guess what the meaning of COLOR. If you are the owner or you know this Maryland vanity plate owner, please post a comment below.

EYEKNDY

Oh yeah, buddy… SWEET ride right here. Dark pinkish maroon (if that’s a color) adorned this Chevy. It actually looked pretty cool. Definite eye candy. The fellas riding in it looked a lot like Dreused to look (all four of them).So, after a quick Google search, it would seem that I’m more than a little behind the times on rap! A dude I didn’t even know existed until right now, Dre Dai, has a fairly new track named Eye Candy

Who knew?

Hey, maybe it’s him!?

SLY FOX1

I was the sly fox on this one, snapping a great double image that worked for the plate text but not the BMW logo or model. The left side logo looks like it reads “Tammy” but that can’t be right!?

WARP 10

Star Trek fans come in all shapes and sizes, but I’ve never seen on drive a Cadillac!
Of course, there’s always some level controversy:
According to Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual (page 55), the ship didn’t actually achieve warp 10 or go beyond it, but it did travel at the speed of about Warp 9.9999999996.

GRATGOD

  1. God is great
  2. Grateful to God
  3. Great God
Either way, right? (unless you are a nonbeliever or something)

PHRFLY

So this is a weird one. Maybe this is the meaning, but I think it’s an odd coincidence that “PHR FLY” actually describes some sort of chemical process that has to do with rubber from tires if I’m scanning the articles coherently enough… here are a few links:
Who knew?
But again, this Porsche Cayman S driver is likely someone with a nickname or just making some kind of reference to “Firefly” ;-)

RIDEON3

I first guessed the “3″ here was a geeky leetspeak letter “E” and that this plate might mean “ride one” (as in motorcycles). That may be the case, but maybe I was only half right this time. My first search came up with a skate and snowboard shop named 3 RIDESHOP that’s located near Baltimore, MD. I took this picture not far from there, so maybe it’s someone from that shop?

The great advice, “ride one”, would apply to skateboards and snowboards as smoothly as it does to motorcycles. As with most vanity plate meanings, it could easily mean something else.

Maybe it’s just a family of three with a Dodge van. Or, it could be that the driver is a big fan or proud employee of Montgomery County Ride On Bus. If the owner of this Maryland vanity plate RIDEON3 finds us here at vanityplat.es, hopefully they’ll take the time to confirm or deny my guesswork and set the record straight!
