Interesting License Plate

Yesterday coming home on the Garden State Parkway, I saw an interesting plate that I'd like some help identifying. At first I thought it was a Hawaii because of the light colored tropical looking design and the words on top which looked at first like the "Aloha State" that's on the HI plate. However at the bottom it had "CNMI US"

Anyone have any ideas?

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a chain of 17 volcanic islands, stretches over 375 miles north to south and covers a land area of 181 square miles. There are six inhabited islands, but most of CNMI's 69,221 (Census 2000, U.S. Bureau, IDB) people live on Saipan. Formerly a part of the United Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, CNMI opted in the 1970s to form closer ties with the U.S., becoming a commonwealth and a permanent part of the U.S. The people of CNMI are U.S. citizens. Tourism is a major industry and manufacturing is growing rapidly.



How the hell did this thing get to NJ

NoPlate

That is hilarious, couldn't stop laughing. Can you imagine the frustration of the officer trying to explain that to the dispatcher! LOL

I can't afford tags on all my cars so the 300D and 300TD have cardboard tags that say "Lost Tag" .

She looks like a younger version of Barbara Walters but with about 50 lbs. more in the rear! That neon nail polish really got my motor turning. She was hot ....unlike some of the "other chic pix" members have posted!!

Yal,

Thanks for the info. As for how it got here, I'm sure by boat. FYI, the vehicle in question was a rather new Toyota P/U.

Saw a good one the other day on a Nissan Sentra: SEXYBOY

Drove up alongside to see what kinda guy thinks he's "all that".

It's a man in his fifties, less than average looks, messed up hair and pockmarked skin. He was eating a donut at the time.

Had me laughing for at least two miles!


PS another one I remember seeing on the car of valuptuous blonde in school years ago: WANTME

PPS I've always wanted to get this plate for myself, but my sister has forbade it: IMADORK

Gotta be able to laugh at yourself!
