Default Damn MTO...

The license plates for my Camaro have been looking beat-up and shitty lately, and since I wanted to get new ones, I figured I might as well get personalized plates.

The plates I applied for were "NO RACIN". You know, in order to discourage the ricers from messing with me on the road. Well, today I received a letter from MTO stating that my plate choice was rejected because it may be deemed offensive by some people , and to expect a refund in 6 to 8 weeks .

What gives?!?! Do any of you think this is in any way offensive? GRRRR!

So now I need to think of something else. I was hoping to get something non-car related so it can be understood by the layperson. Anybody have any suggestions?

Unfortunately, that is their prerogative. They have the final say. But don't they have an appeals committee? I thought I read that somewhere when I ordered mine on-line.

You're right Hooper, on the website I found an address where you can send appeals. I think I will write them a letter.

One time I remember seeing a Vette with a plate that read "FAH Q" or something like that. How could they miss that one but think mine was offensive?

I saw a 500 class Mercedes rolling around Richmond Hill with the plate "WAS HIS" on it.

Did you include an explanation of what it meant on the application?

It's an abreviation of my business name. What else would it mean?

Ontario Male Gigalo Warn The Females

Speaking of upside down, ever have someone ask you what a 710 cap is?

They rejected Spd-Kilz. I could sorta see how this could be offensive, but still. It's so stupid.

Perhaps in the description if you wrote "initials" (like of you and your wife's name) if they would accept it?

Ghey!
