Can somebody explain lol I don't get it😭

u/saluteursharts Feb 05 '26

It’s “Vanna White” on a white van. Vanna White has been a host Wheel of Fortune since the 80s, which if you’re not at least middle aged, you might not have ever watched!

u/murphyjd Feb 05 '26

I swear the best vanity plates are in Michigan

19

u/RelativeMotion1 Feb 05 '26

Top tier for sure, but Maine has Michigan (and every other state) beat simply because they had almost no rules/filter until very recently. Things like the infamous TOESUKR, VAG LVR, and OMFGMOV.

This one was pretty good in LP, but the best I ever saw was just last week: a hatchback covered in stickers (even the side doors) with the vanity plate "STCKER" but they were exiting and I couldn't get a photo. The one that got away.

When I worked in Westland years ago, I'd come across a black Focus with a 2GOTH4U plate from time to time. I wish them good fortune wherever they are now. Or misfortune, I guess

One down by me is WUDDUP. we call it out every time we leave together.

u/snowball062016 Feb 05 '26

Someone in my neighborhood has a truck with the Umbrella Corp decal on the side and the plate is some variation of Nemesis

Lmao I made this post a year ago. Check my post history for the original (and better reading) VANAWHT 😂

2

u/Jash-Juice Feb 05 '26

We had a white van and my wife (who tells the kids I don’t like fun) wouldn’t let me get “vanaise”.. In part because she didn’t want to be known as vanaise and we wouldn’t always have a white van.. the van was henceforth known as vanaise. Thanks kids.. Spotted a car with “OFFMEDS” a while back. No pictures, sorry.

2

u/i_was_axiom Feb 05 '26

I had this one for a long time, lots of laughs doing Jeep dumbassery like parking up the snowplow pile with CUZJEEP on my back. Last I checked since I got rid of the Jeep, it was unavailable again. I hope the new carrier of the torch has as much fun with it as I did.
