they gotta catch me first.
At age 20 I was being chased by a 1959 Cadillac full of biker dudes hell bent on tuning the crap outta my @ss for trying to romance their leader's babe (gawd she was hot).
I had a 1964 Opel.
They were gaining ground so my friend said to turn here. Turned out to be someone's driveway. I maneuvered through a few back yards and came out onto a different street. The Caddy couldn't get through, getting stuck trying to stay with us.

some people are like slinkys, not really good for anything, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
Awesome story.

I'll post my current plate when the sun comes up.
What happens when Mr. S&W meets Mr. Glock?
I just googled my license number and didn't easily find it. I found pay sites where, presumably, it would have been easy, but no free sites. So....at least for now, it's nominally cheaper and easier to lookup call signs, which is trivial. You can do it right here!!
Back in the day I loved call letter license plates. Today, I'm happy to be anonymous.
So, you alread had your call but couldn't get a plate? WTF? Did somebody bootleg your call on a vanity plate? I don't get what you're saying. Or are you saying it took 12 years to get the call you wanted?That might be. He did die. I was able to get my callsign as a plate. I had to wait 12 years for hhim to die. I wanted my callsign on my plate. Many other hams get this , I just had to wait. Now nack to my original post. Any other hams have their callsign on their license plate? Please post a pic.
And then there was this amusing anecdote. A dear friend, Bill Martin, K2OMD, now SK, had call letter plates and he had to stop for a car accident. Somebody saw the "MD" on his plates and rushed up to him for assistance since he assumed Bill was a doctor! R.I.P., Bill.
If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
When I applied for a callsign plate to my dismay there was already a vanity plate issued for N8TB. I guess the person's name was Nate B. Ham radio plates are cheaper than 'regular' vanity plates. I would check the availability each year I renewed the plates. It took 12 years for it to free up. Obviously my callsign is a vanity as well. I was in the second gate if I remember correctly. I got my 3rd choice. I did notice a person waited for Mr. Cotton the Detroit FCC field office to die. His call was W8DX. He conducted the ham, and commercial exams at the field office. He was a nice guy, but made me sweat bullets waiting for the exam to be graded.
