Ukulele Vanity Plates

Martinlover said:

Anybody got ukulele-related vanity plates they’d like to share—either on your vehicle or seen on the road?

My husband got me UKECRAZY. It could have just been UKULELE. But he just had to put the crazy in there.

Here in Northern California there is a CGEA plate, wish I had it.

Not mine, but found by Jan De Smet, and retrieved from his instagram page. Kind of says what it is, not?

I think it's funny how people block their license plate number when it's posted online. Do they also block it when they drive on public roads?

I applied for “UKE 52MG” for my 1952 MG. It was rejected by the CA DMV, for being profanity.
Imagine what they must think of banjos.

I asked on another forum and got some answers -

"Noun. uke (plural ukes or uke) (judo, martial arts) The training partner against whom tori performs a move. (Japanese fiction) A passive or submissive male fictional character in a same-sex relationship; a bottom."

"Thinking the DMV thinks it might somehow be a gang name"

"my search turned up Mirena IUD birth control device. In our language, uke is only a letter short of a vulgar name for woman's privates."

This is from back in 2005. My Miata has the UKALADY plates and I spotted Ken in our little town back then with UKULELE plates so I had to get a photo of the two of us.

Sadly, Ken has passed on and my Miata, the plates and the LoPrinzi soprano I'm holding in my arms all burned up in the Paradise, California fire last November. California DMV won't re-issue the same plates when *both* plates are destroyed because they have no proof you really destroyed them and they may truly exist somewhere out of the system. Geesh... I've used this license plate as years for my avatar, though, and the DMV can't take that away from me!!
