...so we can keep an EYE on YOU...
Due to the failing of RIPTA to provide me with an economical and environmentally sound method of transportation to and from work, I have been commuting by car approximately one hour each way, Monday through Friday. I hate it, but I've been getting really good at spotting and remembering interesting license plates. Here I share with you my list.
Rhody plates:
BIVALV
CEMENT
QUAHOG
WILLIT
SOXGRL
BATMON
TRIP
THATCH
JUSTRI
NKTOWN
SHARK
FLXAPL
SHPWRK
ARREST
SEABIZ
SUNAMI
WTPOOH
GONG
IGUANA
BOWMAN
ACT 1
CARPDM
BOX
BGOOD
SEEBRZ
Out of staters:
GOSOX1 (New York)
SAIL RI (Michigan)
GANSETT (South Carolina)
TO NPT (Connecticut)
Is it obvious which part of the state I commute to?
Think of it as a “tag and release” system…

The state of Rhode Island has parts?
>>Quickly ducking to avoid any hurled quahogs.
wow, you didnt even write those down???
on rt 4 tonight i saw DDONUT. on a silver BMW i think. oh and earlier spotted HRYPTR at Rigatoni’s restaurant in the Governor Francis PART of Rhode Island.
The answer to Em’s question is a county, which I think they have in other states (except Louisiana, where counties are called parishes). In true RI fashion, though, this county doesn’t actually exist…
I think we may have a regular feature in the works here… send submissions to bil@bilherron.com!
Do they have to be in RI? On the way back from Boston yesterday I saw “NGNEAR”.
I don’t get that one…
hey! license plates! 6 comments! rhode islanders love em! its nuts when at work i have to have people fill out things w their plate numbers. if theyre not from ri, they always have to go outside and LOOK! imagine… not even knowing your own license plate number.
i dont get that one either, btw.
Oh. Engineer? I think that’s it. Clever… All I want is a single letter B with numbers plate, but the fricken governor won’t give me one!
(seriously, you have to write a letter to the Governor to get a certain type of plate in RI)
I wondered why it wasn’t “NGNEER.”
What’s with RI and vanity plates, anyhow? It’s like a minor religion in your state.
And btw – I kid because I love. I spend enough time and $$$ in RI and have had enough jobs in RI to be an honorary citizen.
Actually, I forgot the most important one! Thats because I saw it a while ago on Hope St. in PVD – B 666, Bil’s most wanted plate.
