Sometimes I wish there was a website to which one could go to learn the story behind a license plate. Sometimes I see personalized license plates and my curiousity is aroused! Do you ever have this wish to learn more about the story behind a personalized plate?
For instance, today I saw a date listed on a license plate. Does this date refer to someone's date of birth, wedding date or some other significant date in that person's life? Such a website could give a brief bio of the person on the license plate, perhaps a picture or two...sort of like a facebook for cars and their drivers!
Yesterday I went to Stafford for an errand. Someone in that stake kindly lent us 70's decorations for our stake youth dance, and I went to pick up those items. So after completing my errand, I went for a quick bite to eat- it was after 2PM and I hadn't eaten anything. While seated, I noticed a red car with the license plate "CRL RPKEN" or something like that. So was that car's driver really Carl Ripken? Was it a fan?? Such a website would be helpful and of interest.
We could go to that website when we can't decipher the meaning of someone's license plate acronym such as e8isgrt (Eight is Great!!)..I haven't seen this on a license plate but how cool would that be? (In the LDS Church, kids are often baptized when they are 8 years old..the age we believe they are accountable for their actions. So "Eight is Great" is a fun way they use to help kids feel excitement towards considering baptism. So if someone ever made a e8isgrt license plate, someone could look up that acronym and learn a little about LDS beliefs and baptism.
Other times I've seen license plates with low numbers (ie #7 or whatever)...it would be cool to learn what merited that special number!
Anyway..so anyone out there in the wide world web want to design such a website? (of course don't forget to give me some commission money for having this idea! )
