Re: Vintage YOM License Plate Thread

THANKS ALOT GUYS!

So I go pull out all my old plates, and I'm smelling them. My wife sees me and asks the question: "What are you doing?" In the midst of my focused determination I blurt it out: "Smelling them to see if they smell like BO!".

Now she thinks I'm more retarded than she already did!

For the record, none of my plates smell like BO...

Sorry but I did actually laugh out loud when I read that.

I hope you said it like it was a perfectly normal thing to be doing.

just for the record, have you ever noticed that someone that smokes doesn't think they smell like smoke.. maybe there is a reason you don't think your plates don't smell like BO..... JK, couldn't pass it up......

Re: Vintage YOM License Plate Thread

Funny you should mention that. I was at a swap meet not long ago and noticed the same thing at one particular vendor's spot. I figured it was him. Sorry dud, whoever you are. If you actually bath more than I gave you credit for maybe it's time to wash your plates with Irish Spring!

I assume it's just the reflective coating aging/decomposing. I've noticed the smell too on all my old plates.




Here's my '78 NC Farm Truck tag at a cruise in the other day.
