License plate letters

Whenever I see a vehicle drive by, I look at the license plate. I have this habit of trying to spell something with the letters.

Example: GHP 120 would be "Got Horse Power?" or "Great Horse Power"

GLS - Goes Like Shit
GOV - Government
GUT - (self explanatory - Gut)

There are so many examples. But yeah, I can't look at a license plate without trying to make something out of it. Is this normal?

    hahaha GUT i love that one. and brb would be awesome! i wish ours were only three letters. i just bought a car and i haven't gotten plates yet so i'm curious to see what ill get lol. plus i'm too cheap to get a specially made one haha. i love living in ontario. i live in thunder bay though so it's got a population of about 110,000 so it's pretty small. i like it but i wanna move somewhere larger when i'm older. so you live in alberta??

      Hahaha, Kramer... he's awesome! Love Seinfeld! I'm actually living in NB now. I lived in Alberta for a few years though. Yeah I think it would be awesome to get custom plates made, but I think they're like $100 right off the bat, lol. Oh yes, I've been to Thunder Bay a few times... nice place :) My city is a little smaller. Ever been to Saint John? The population is around 85,000.

      Haha, that's awesome! I saw a nice Mustang this morning (probably 1999) and the plate read BRB, so I instantly thought "Be Right Back." Sure wish that car was mine! I get a kick out of the GUT plates I see driving around town. Even funnier when it's a large person driving ;) So how's life in Ontario? Nice province.

      HAHAHA! That's awesome!! Do you live in Ontario? Most provinces still have 3 letters and 3 numbers (with the exception of PEI - 2 letters and 3 numbers)... but I know Ontario had to change to 4 letters and 3 numbers, since there are so many vehicles in your province. I had NBK on my plate - New Brunswick Kicks ass, lol ;) I loved my Alberta plate too... HAH. It was awesome!

    Normal. A pathetic thing about the British licence plate system is that they changed SN07 to TN07 because it apparently looked like 'snot'. That didn't make them think about what SN09 looked like however...

      HAHAHAHA! That's hilarious! I can see where they get SNOT out of SN07. Funny, in Canada they recalled all the ASS plates in NB back in 1990/91. Since then, we have skipepd over certain plates like GAY, GOD, etc. However, we still have COK plates on trucks! Cracks me up every time.
