You can tell a lot about a person from their vanity plate. For instance we know one of them eats ponies and another likes to drive around boys, and the third…well…um…they also like to drive around young boys.

Such vanity!
That’s putting a lot on their plate.
Do they need a license for that?
What would drive them to do that?
Probably a good idea to steer clear.
It’s the law, they have to register.
I’m feeling neutral about most of these.
Maybe some reverse psychology would do the trick.
Let’s shift this pun run to another avenue.
Be sure to hit the brakes before shifting…might be a little rough.
We’re headed in the right direction now.
Are we gonna drive the Miracle Mile?
Give it a brake.

Glad I applied the brake just then: buttacow crossing.
Whew! Pretty slick, AV…
That was a wheely close one!
Almost an oversteer situation.
Yeah, if you had over-steered, you’d have looked like a clutch.
What a rear end.
Wish they all had to have a special license plate.
pedo…also means fart in spanish….
old fart maybe what he was going for….or maybe he IS an oldpedo….
IEATPNYS (I eat ponies) on the Firebird means that it eats Ford Mustangs. That license is a win (if you hate Ford).

I once saw a t-shirt that said: 2QT2BSTR8
He was cute too…
I saw one once near a university: K9DR2B.
My favourite one (yes I got a pic)
was 6OTH.
Okay, k@. Am I daft? I just can’t figure this one…
Ditto. Unless it’s “GOTH”, but even that’s stupid.

IEATPNYS is clearly referring to being faster than a Ford Mustang.
IEATPONYPNYS
Or was it just an improper spelling of Penys?
I don’t like the taste of pennies.
You should try pennies arrabiata.
Wouldn’t that make her a supporter of terrorism?
That’s circumcisial evidence.

Totally a fail, no matter how you excuse that.
so he eats ponies?
Yes. With ketchup.
I can think of better things to do with £25.
Is that the cost of the pony or the ketchup?
British slang: pony = £25
Buy more ketchup?
no, hes referring to being faster than a ford mustang, its not really a fail, people who don’t know about cars just don’t understand it

He was really late — you had already chewed off the guys head (it was a much better video). He knows now he had better be prompt if he wants the work …
If he thinks his Firebird beats a Mustang, then yes, it is a fail. It took GM six years off to figure out how to make a Camaro that could compete with the Mustang, but the Screaming Chicken is about as likely to make a return as Jimmy Hoffa.
Actually the “Screaming Chickens” of that era were faster than a Mustang GT of the same era. In fact Ford was too lazy to update their Mustang until the new Camaro came out, and the lame GTs of the 2000s will lose a number of vehicles on the road.
Regarding the speed issue, perhaps…but the Mustang has been in continuous production, usually with strong sales and always in the US, since 1964. GM had to drop the Camaro and Firebird because the sales were too weak.
I don’t know why you’re assuming the newer GTs won’t last, although I’m on my fourth Mustang, and none have been GTs. I have been told by a few car people that those models (1994-98) will run for a very, very long time. My 1997 was running in great shape with minimal problems until 2007 when it didn’t so much die on the highway as it was murdered by another driver.
I’d also suggest you look up what Ford is doing for 2011 — it will have a few more horses than Camaro and still get better gas mileage.

No need to trot that one out.
I’m trying to harness the outsiders and drag them in from the snow.
PEDO is spanish for fart. So, the plate stands for “old fart”…
Is that what the bear told you?
Minne is German for courtly love. So Minnesota makes no sense in German.
Doch. “Soet” is the old Dutch spelling for “zoet”, sweet.
Soete minne. (clickie)
Ha! In our local dialect something similar has apparently survived. “Seute” for sweet, lovely. “Seute Deern” means cute girl.
That old Dutch form, “soet”, remains in Afrikaans.
Well — SUET is a cake of lard rendered with seeds and stuff to feed the birds …
:ick:
I’ll pass.
Perhaps they meant it as tor”pedo.” In which case, it would be “pee-dow”
Though that doesn’t make a difference in England, eh? “It’s Pete Ofile, not Pedophile”
Minne comes from the Lakota word for water, sotah basically means “sky tinted.” It translates as “land of sky-blue waters” (and beet-red necks). Then Minneapolis means “city of lakes.”
Minneapolis is a Greek-Lakota name?
Yeah, and it was rough converting the natives to Greek Orthodox, somebody even got Siouxed.

IEATPNYS – agreed x2… is faster than mustangs (pony cars)
Looks like it would be a formula firebird; looks like a v6 firebird, but has all the v8 goodies so it would eat a poor lil pony car
I heard of thirsty cars, but hungry cars? And wouldn’t that be carnibalism?

…of each other on the carpet.
I think it would depend greatly on the amount of aftermarket mods, and generation of the mustang/firebird.
The Firebird is getting a bit long in the tooth. A fourth gen Firebird and a fifth gen Mustang are pretty close cars, at high-end stock (a difference of 25 pounds of tourq in the firebird’s favor with similar curb weights). But I just don’t see the ‘IEATPNIS’ car being a match (stock) against the 6th generation Mustang (stock).
While it may be true that this particular firebird is faster than you average mustang. ANY car can be a ‘pony eater’ with enough of a cash dump.
In any event, your average Mustang has one major, and distinct, advantage over the suped Firebird, when it comes to street racing.
A higher crash rating.

You ever play StickWars on the iphone? Great fun flickin those guys in the air and watchin them splat back to earth ….
LOLZ @ your description, but no, I have just a regular cell phone — no bells, whistles or games…
Very funny — you really do flick the little running stick figures inothte air and they crach back to earth with a muchy “splat” and if they hit anything it takes that out too. Get a bit more complicated, but the best part is squichin the stick guys. My lovely daughter prefers to slam them into the wall …
I play Bungee stickmen on my iTouch. Love to see ‘em hit the ground!
Very funny (and free) — but you are suppose to try to NOT splat the stick man …
IEATPNYS = I Eat Ponies – as in, the Firebird eats Ford Mustangs… which is true, until the Firebird reaches 50,000 miles then it’s a typical GM car and disintegrates.
So, all GM cars should have ZZT@50K vanity plates?
ZZ Top at 50,000?

Questions for our European Peeps:
1. What’s the maximum amount of numbers/letters on your plates? (For example, there are 7 letters/numbers in California.)
2. Are vanity plates an option?
UK
1= 7
2= Oh yeah, but they cost an arm & a leg!
Clicky
How timely! What would the extra cost be, k@? I couldn’t find it on the website…
£250 – £10,000 depending on what you have.
Oh my. Current exchange rate: $15,605.22 USD…
They average at about a thousand though!
Oy! $50 to $100 maximum more per year to get them here…
Oh, I thought you said an arm and a leg, which I could afford.
*snork*
I am pretty sure you have to give them YOUR arm and leg, not just any old ones you found in (or stole from) the cemetery
Not European, but here in South Africa:
1. Format varies by province, but currently ordinary plates for most have three non-vowel letters, three digits, and a two-letter province suffix. This is due to change over the next year or two.
2. Where available, custom plates come in two degrees: cheaper is the option of three numbers + three letters + province suffix; more expensive are full custom (six-letter maximum, I think). Last I saw, prices were in the low to middle thousands of rands (ZAR 1 = about US$7.7 / £12 / €11). Ordinary registration for a private car is in the lower hundreds.
Sorry, AV — wasn’t trying to leave anyone out.
*squeeze*
Didn’t think you were, LGB. (BTW, I posted another comment on thanatophobia over on the Whale Win – Bloggy ate my first three attempts.)
*intercontinentalsqueeze*
Good. I’ll check it out. Be back in a tick…
Yes, I agree — ‘necro’ does not quite cover it. ‘Thanato’ would be the correct term for the phobia — much more Greek-oriented, whereas ‘necro’ has become more a term in popular (unpopular?) culture.
Oh dear, what was I doing with those exchange rates? Of course, it’s roughly US$ / £ / € 1 = ZAR 7.7 / 12 / 11, most definitely not the other way about.
Ummm … somehow I got that backwards: of course, it’s roughly US$ 1 = ZAR 7.7, £ 1 = ZAR 12, $euro; 1 = ZAR 10.5, not the other way round!
One to three letters indicating the town/region + two letters optional + a random number. Example: Person from Stade named Erich Dircks could have a license plate saying STD – ED 354. Would be unfortunate.
A little too personal, perhaps?
In Ontario Canada you’re allowed up to 8 characters (no spaces) for C$225
Both my cars have vanity plates, NO3 4EVR (got my first car shortly after Dale Earnhardt died- tribute plate)
SCCAFLGR is on my other car, since I have a hobby flagging for the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA)
I’m sure I said this on a previous license plate fail but…
I had a high school teacher who tried to (and failed to) get her first name as a vanity plate.
Her name is Tanda.
Why are comments on failblog.org so homophobic and prejudice against fat people?
Probably 10% of the FAIL here are WIN in my book. Ffffffffuuuuuuu.
You didn’t read the comments for this fail, did you?
Failblog Prejudice? Against fat people?
I’m not ….
um…
I don’t think anyone said that trolls were fat people.
Homophobic? I suppose it could mean that we don’t like people who keep posting the same thing (e. g., the initial ordinal number trolls). Just about.
Agreed that he second one is a reference to the Ford Mustang. . . Mustang = Pony, get it? The people that didn’t, IMO aren’t really car people.
As a Mustang person, I’ve seen a lot of ‘Stangs that can eat F-bodies. Actually, here’s one for the GM people, do you get the plate “LS WHAT” (On a Ford)?
The Firebird is referring to Mustangs as “pnys.”
It could also mean pinoys?
That seriously looks like a house from the show Dexter where a drug dealer lived.
Actually you’re better off driving behind them than in front.
BOY BUS
^^
Actually folks….. oldpedo is not what everyone is thinking. Pedo in spanish means fart… therefore, the plate actually means oldfart, and not oldpedophile as you are all making it out to sound. I think that license plate is cute!
Pedo in Spanish means fart. It’s probably supposed to be Old Fart
I don’t get why the IEATPNYS is fail….He means mustangs lol.
“IEATPNYS” I Eat Ponies. Pony = Mustang. Mustang = car.
Camaro>Mustang
at the IEATPNYS part i honestly could not. stop. laughing.
the white van .. with the boy bus license plate … he lives in spring texas .. i saw him at the intersection of louetta and ella rd .. cypresswood neighborhood lol .. saw him about two years ago
Anyone else think Boy Bus might belong to a soccer mom?
doesnt Y sometimes have the I sound lol read the second one using that rule ” IEATPNYS”
lol i need to start reading the comments first lol as for the guy saying spring, tx hahaha i lived there about 2 years ago lol
The trans am isn’t a fail, you failed by calling it one. He is saying his car is faster than a mustang, a well known rivalry.
IEATPNYS could also means “I EAT PINOYS”…
a lot of racism!!!!
