I saw a Nevada plate with "IDSFA". The surround said "It Doesn't Stand For Anything".
Why bother?

Love Drivin'
So no other guesses?

I guess some people get a perverse sort of pleasure by having vanity plates that stump the readers. I say, if reasonably intelligent people can't figure out what you're saying, you've wasted your money. No offense.

In that case, I have never had a problem figuring ANY of them...

I'd much rather stump the masses and have a few really intelligent (or perverse) people get it.

I always have a tough time with plates.
TFQON.. I spent forever trying to read yours as Q-nof-nee. I get it now though!
I'm also the one who saw a plate CEDARPT and read it ce-darpt... Cedar Point is a popular amusement park around here
I've been thinking of ones.. GR1MACE, 6SPDLUV, MINIISH.. I doubt I'll actually get one though

Congratulations minious and Greatbear!
You have restored my faith in NAM. (Although minious, I think the original spelling is Vorpal with an A.)
Gotta say I'm digging it.
Might look into availability.

I think you'll be spending a LOT of time explaining that letter combination. Might not be as many "really intelligent" people out here as you imagine.

I know there aren't many who will get it (note the use of the word "few" in my post), and the others will just be out of luck. Explanations will not be offered.
