The owner probably thought it was "FABULOUS"!

Id be worried about some fool taking it out on the car it was on since we live in the age where everyone is so easily triggered.

Friday morning, I for the umptieth time called the State DMV in Tallahassee, first time rang busy, quickly tried again and it started ringing, it was machine answered and I sat on hold for 40? mins.
Then the first person I spoke to in over two dozen attempts, redirected me to another after I explained my area of concern. Second person after going over in greater detail of my situation, directed me to another higher up?, who was helpful, and courteous and informative. Even though she was not certain who actually owns the tag once submitted, even if rejected, she felt these were only "numbers" and did not see a problem. She even gave me her direct line if I any had future issues. If I learn more I will get back. luck

Yep, denied an Ohio plate with 69. Had to go with 6T9 and then had to show proof that the vehicle was a 1969 model year vehicle. Then had to wait for final approval.

Wow sounds like you got lucky despite your long "hold". When talking about inefficiency and waste, the DMV is right near or at the top.

Wonder what the outcome would be if he changed his name to "GRABHIM"?

Article wasn't clear, does "revoke" mean they confiscated the tag, or just suspended its legal use?

Back in the late 80's I went to get plates for my newly purchased 440 Superbird . They handed me the plates that read BBP436 I was thinking that's kinda cool, but could I get the ones a little further down in the stack of plates that read "BBP440" ? She said "NO" they have to get handed out in order. I regret not saying I wanted to come back in a day and get "free" custom personalized plates

Don't fret, some Chevy guy probably bought it, and everyone passing him will be "what the heck?" grin

I'm not sure either. Definitely suspended its legal use, by not renewing the registration with that plate, but I've not known the local government to ever confiscate an expired plate (not saying it doesn't happen). I would guess it's probably up on his wall somewhere.
