I am not sure if this is a Bay Area thingy, but I have increasingly been seeing this phenomenon. My guess is its prevalemt more than 75% among desi drivers (families mostly in contrary to happy single desis who are watching their time clock dwindle away in eating at Saravana Bhavans, Chaat house, etc... and horridly thinking about being matched with someone they haven't even seen in their lives within the next couple of years). Anyways, the thing is, have you guys come across license plates that read like "ILUVPRY", "RKHIluvsSMIR", "WEluvPNKY", the luv replaced by the symbol, etc... You get the idea!
The things is if you drive a Honda or aToyota , there is a 80% chance that you are a desi. However, there are certain cues that point to the demographic - say, single , married, married with a kid, etc... (I am not venturing into any more permutations)
For example,
- When it says something ilke "VCKYRCKS" ...you know this is an egotistical single desi.
- If it says smthing like "ILUVPRY", "LVLYRKHI", it is a newly married guy who hasn't still experienced the sweet times of the marriage:) (yeah, I am sarcastic, if you did not get it!). Even should it be true, do we really need to know what he feels?
- And, if it says smthing like, "WeluvPNKY", it is definitely a daughter. First of all, I have no idea how someone could name their daughter based on a finger( or pinkie,
). What's next, chubby, mandu,etc... I wonder if these daughters will have a real identity issue when they grow up? Duh! - As an anamoly, if it says smthing like "CHICinPNK", you can be rest assured it is a blondy:)
I have been so horrified seeing these license plates, I think someone better dare up and ban them all together! If you sync with me, please spread this awareness. I do not want to be driving around watching these horrific license plates. And, if you ever goto IMC6 or NAZ8, please just go blindfolded:)

Is it any different from having GOBRS as license plate?
I don't this has anything to do with desi's . It is using the license plate as expressions. How many times have you seen proud father / mother of xyz in american cars painted in bright red.
The baffling portion is why ppl pay the premium to have the fancy plates. I guess they value expressing their thoughts.
