Default Vanity plate fun

So my wife texts me this morning and said there's a 911 in front of her and the license plate reads "DKSNARO".

My immediate thought was Dick's narrow??? Could it really be some guy being honest about why he bought a Porsche among all the stereotypes about us making up for something else?

Then it hit me. Ducks in a row.

LOL

There are some really clever people out there when it comes to those things.

OK, 4NBU TEE is Foreign Beauty, but what is DKSNARO? Ducks in a row? That doesn't make sense.

'DKSNARO' ? I don't care if it is ducks in a row. It could still be dick's narrow. What an idiot. Maybe his wife made him put that on there if he got the 911. If he got a Kia would he have been able to get 'DKS BIG'?

Maybe he lost a bet.

Snapped at a Hot Rod show. Still one of my favs, and a very creative use of CA's available plate symbols.

Dick's narrow is the first thing that came to mind when I saw that plate.

What the hell would ducks in a row be a reference to? Yup, must be dick's narrow

At least he didn't embarrass himself with DKS2NARO!

Ducks in a row...means you have everything lined up. Life is in order.

I must be the old guy here.

Well of course we know what ducks in a row means. I'm just asking why the hell does that belong on a Porsche license plate? Rhetorical question. Only the owner knows. Sorry but I just don't think it is clever. A cool vanity plate should in my opinion should have some obscure but clever reference to the vehicle. I still think this is dick's narrow...
