anti-vanity plate

[cos]

Not the plate I'd want on my car...

... I wonder if the owner noticed?

That's an old-style green plate, so they've had it for a while; it's probably on its second or third car..

I was sad that I wasn't able to keep my old green plate when we bought our current car. You have to be organized enough to get rid of the old car first.

Saw the plate "100 MEN" once. It matched the then-current pattern for MA plates, so it wasn't a vanity plate (you can't get vanity plates that match the pattern).

I know, I have a "stealth plate" of the old style. They wouldn't allow 3 digits followed by 3 letters, but they would allow 3 letters followed by 3 digits, and most people don't notice the difference. Even a few police officers have been fooled into thinking it was a regular plate. But it's a great Internet-geek detector - they all spot it as a special plate :)
