Vanity License plate

I saw a vanity tag on a tiny Fiat 500 last week. It read FIYACHT.

Seen any good ones?

I thought that was more of a laff than an automotive post.

A guy I know who has a history of epilepsy drove a Fit with a license SZRS. (As close as I can recall, there were numbers too.)

I hope his epilepsy was completely controlled by medication.

The law here states that an epileptic can not drive if they've had an episode within a year. I have friend whom I chauffeured all over the place about five years ago. Of course I wasn't the only one. He'd drive around the farm to feed his cattle and so on, but wouldn't go on the roads at all.

I knew another guy my age who knew he was epileptic but chose to drive. He crossed the line during a seizure. He killed three older sisters from a prominent family in an oncoming Buick about 40 years ago. He did hard time for it.

That vanity tag is fitting for a Honda Fit though.

That took me a couple of reads to get, but I believe this is it:
tiny Fiat
Pronounced:

"Fee-YACHT"

Yeah, yeah, yadda yadda it was under control to my knowledge. The thing is that if an epileptic has an unobserved seizure, which I am sure accounts for most, they are probably inclined to fail to mention the event to the BMV. Diabetics pose a similar threat on the roads. All hail self-driving cars.

You are a nautical genius! But wrong. It's Welsh for, "My other car is also stolen".

I WAS RAISED "ULTRA" CATHOLIC

Not surprisingly, my car tag since 1979 has read "GUILTY."

I was surely heading for Hell on a meat rap until the church repealed their No-Fish-On-Friday prohibition. I pity the fools who died before the church changed their mind especially because it was never made retroactive. Besides, once condemned to the eternal fires you can never receive a "Get out of Hell free" pass. I wonder if the poor souls were ever told?
