Actually, I'm wondering if personalized plates are an exclusively American thing. I'd love it if all of you who live in other countries would confirm or correct my opinion. (Please!)
Anywho . . . since there are more than enough creative plates here in Virginia to make up for it, I've decided on a compromise. Here's how it will work:
- I will post a super fun license plate I found here, in the U.S.
- You will guess the color, make, and model of the car (like usual).
- The first person to get all three right wins a French candy bar. A Lion bar to be exact.
So on to the important stuff. I saw this car parked at the grocery story, and I was grinning the whole time I was there. You may laugh, but as a children's writer, I'm trying to take lessons from my audience. We should all let something so simple make us happy.
And, the license plate du jour:
REDZMZM
On your mark. Get set. Guess!
P.S. If you haven't voted in the latest This vs. That, please head on over before I tally the results. :)

a red Mazda?
Okay, my question: How the heck does the driver of that car get it out from between the other two?
Well all I'm seeing is Red-Zoom-Zoom, so it's got to be red. And sporty. idk, a new red Ford Focus?
Hmm. I'm going with something different. I see some slinky silver car. But I'd love it if it was a really old, beat up car. :)
Oh I love Lion bars! If you ever need a Lion bar supplier, I can oblige. I sound like a chocolate pimp. lol.
A red Ford Mustang Convertible.
Ha! Brilliant. Geez I can't parallel park. That looks so intimidating!! Now you have me wondering about the personalized plates in other countries...
I would have guessed mustang, but Angela stole it from me. So I'll go with red slug bug.
Red mini Cooper
Or you could just send me a Lion bar for old times sake.
Red Mazda! (weren't they the ones w/that commercial?)
And OK, my old neighbor had this on his car: L8TRDUD
yep. Dud. :D <3
Red rover, red rover, let a red Porsche zoom over.
(So, I'm pretty sure it's not a Porsche because Porsche drivers probably do not have personalized license plates (or is that a stereotype?), but it sounds fun to zoom around in a red Porsche, so that's my guess!)

I'd say a red mazda as well. :) Just a guess.
And I saw some pretty crazy parking over in France, but craziest of all was Spain - they triple park there! It's ridiculous. Italy gets worse as well, I think.
Oh how fun! What company does zoom zoom. *elevator music while I google it*
Mazda!
Red
My family likes decoding vanity plates when we're on the freeway. Yes, we're easy to please.
Red Chevy Corvette. :) I haven't heard of a Lion bar before...
I suck at this game, not even going to take a guess.
Wow. And I thought I was good at parallel parking! =)
Good news about your Lion bars, Janet--they are made by Nestle's european division and I HAVE in fact seen them in import stores in the U.S. Try your local British tea shop or Irish shop. I have purchased them in both such places here in PA.
They are the most to-die-for confection ever! I got completely hooked on them when I studied abroad in England.
for that license plate i got thinking its a red ferrari zm coupe but for sure youre not gonna see so many ferraris parked by a grocery store. so now im thinking its a red mazda zm. did you know there a red ferrarri zoom zoom pedal car thats just for kids? how cool is that!
...hugs from lenny
It's gotta be a red Mazda, you know, ZOOM ZOOM! I'm guessing a Miata, because they are my favs!
No, I don’t think they’re exclusive to Americans. It probably just started there, but custom plates are also a trend in Europe nowadays. Anyway, I find the car scene funny as well. :D I think it’s silly that the owner of the middle car didn’t even bother to move a bit backward, you know, even if just to delay the discovery of the damage he/she had done to the black car’s rear. LOL! Parallel parking is really a challenge, even for drivers with small cars, apparently. -->Marvis Carswell
