No, you can’t has. (Not yours.)
June 20th, 2007 | by Scott Jennings |Oh man. I was going to have the best personalized license plate EVAR. I scoped it out on the DMV website, it was totes available, all I had to do was pay my county vehicle tax and renew my registration, and it was going to be MINE.
This was a couple of months ago. My registration is up at the end of the month, so today I finally made a couple of phone calls and paid my super cheap Chatham County taxes, then headed over to the DMV website to take care of business. I clicked up “KTHXBYE” — and my brilliant plate was GONE. OH NOES. (”OH NOES” was ALSO gone.) My dreams of aggressively passing cars for them to see “KTHXBYE” staring back at them as they shake their fist in futile frustration — dashed in an instant by some other dork who probably doesn’t drive like half the asshole I do.
So I settled on a third choice and punched that up, and I was told I couldn’t get a personalized plate today because my registration was up too soon. I had to renew my registration on my regular plate, wait for that to process, and only then could I get a new plate. I have to do MOAR WATEINGS.
There’s a lesson in here somewhere, but damned if I can find it.
