WMWNMNW

I needed a car for co-op, so I bought my Grandma's Ford Contour (she doesn't drive anymore). It's basically a brand new car, with only 5,000 miles on it. I decided to get custom plates for the vehicle, and that led me to think about a feature on thesmokinggun.com last year. It was about license plates that motorists had complained about (for inappropriate content, etc). The most hilarious compliant was from a Wisconsin state trooper who complained about someone who's plate was "WMWNMNW". Sure, it doesn't mean anything, so it's not offensive, but it's totally unreadable.

Just for kicks, I checked to see if the plate was available in Ohio. It was, so I decided to get it. I've already received many comments about it. While I was stuck in traffic a few weeks ago, the guy next to me honked his horn and motioned for me to roll down my window. He didn't look dangerous, so I did. He yelled over to me, asking what the plate meant. I told him that it didn't mean anything, it was just meant to be unreadable. He laughed, I smiled, and we both rolled up our windows and sat in traffic for another 10 minutes.
