True story:
In 2013 there was a car in my neighbourhood with the letters [b]COH[/b] on its license plate. It was an older car with some mileage on it, and not as flashy as newer models, but it still looked serviceable. It used to make me feel wistful every time I saw it.
I recently noticed I don't see that car anymore.
But in the past couple weeks I've started to see a shiny new Audi sports car around. The letters on its license plate are [b]COT[/b].

Thats amazing.
As foolish as this seems,
Gotem.
From ya boy, Elios.
Were those the only letters on the plates (like serious vanity plates) or were the plates more like "standard" plates that had the letters "COH" and "COT" randomly mixed in with other typical letters/numbers?
Either way that's pretty cool. It's seems far too unlikely to be pure coincidence. Somebody must have finally decided it's time to be looking towards the future. :)

That [i]is[/i] cool and I wish I could justify the extra money it would cost for a vanity tag.
At least my regular tag is [i]{several numbers}[/i]AP9.
"...AP33" would've been better but, oh well :)

Love it
[hr]I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.
:D
As wonderful as our old home was, it did have some milage on it.
Can't wait for the new sports model to come out!
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a vanity plate with my handle on it.
I've thought about it.
A lot!
I just can't seem to make myself pull the trigger LOL
"I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation."
I loved CoH but not THAT much lol
Id actually get something else before getting CoH or CoT on my license plate such as:
Strmfan
xmenfan
etc...

Oops, sorry folks: the plates in the story aren't vanity plates. The letters were just the last 3 characters, after a space. Guess my brain just mentally edited out rest.

Still a good story :P.

Yeah, we naturally look for familiar patterns.
How long did it take most of us to stop seeing "CoT" and immediately thinking "Circle of Thorns"?
"I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation."
True! I think at least a year for me.

I still have to stop and change it in my head every once in a while.
One of those things, eh ;)
I wish, not for a vanity plate, but I wish I could pick my letters and numbers. I'd be a child and pick SAT-666 or something but still :p

I think there are at least some states that'll prevent you from having '666' in a vanity plate. I know most of them try to prevent most obvious "naughty words" but I've seen a few creative people who've managed to slip through some "phonetic" spellings. ;)

You'd think that choosing your own string of letters and numbers would be allowed (though I can see how "666" might not be allowed) but I once logged into my state's DMV website and tried different things to see if anything I liked as available. Certain letter/number formats are locked out if they correlate to a pattern used in the state which might be stamped automatically.

Well it seems my license plate adventure is not yet over. I just spent 10 minutes driving behind a car whose last 3 characters were MWM.

But what? I'm already on board with this effort.

MOAR ONBOARD?!
I have no idea. The 'Verse speaks to me through de-caffinated coffee and I just finished my only cup, so it hasn't kicked in yet.
Maybe take a job with them?
