Furry Vehicles
Raymond Dobbs
Here's a conversation starter:
Does anyone own a vehicle that somewhaty reflects their 'furry'
persona?
I own a 1996 Dodge Intrepid - Polar Bear White. While Dodge (Chrysler)
doesn't call it Polar Bear White, I do because of a certain fuzzy female
I am involved with on FM. While it was not my original intention to buy
a white car, the idea kinda lent itself to me... :)
I'm trying to find out about customizing the plates for it, to
something with an Anthro/Furry theme. Any suggestions?
Just my $0.02;

airbrushed this winter...its gonna be mephitized! :)

Welp, my 1982 Nissan 200SX doesn't leak oil; rather, it marks its
territory... :)

I used to own a VW Rabbit. But unfortunately, it also took after it's
color. Lemon yellow... =};-3

I don't own such a car, but on my way to a district Eagles meeting, I once
saw a Ford pinto disguised to look like a mouse. It had large round ears,
eyes painted on the windshield, and a long tail sticking out the back.
Cool!

No, but I used to call my former car the Gerbil Car because it seemed as if
it had more gerbil power than horse power. I imagined it was probably
powered by gerbils running around on one of those little wheels that you
see in pet stores, and they had a hard time keeping up on the kind of hills
we have in Austin, especially with the air conditioning running. Every so
often I'd hear strange squeaks. Must be the gerbils complaining.

Does an old beat up 67 Chevy Carryall (Saburban) painted 2 tone green
with 2 of Vicky Wymans gold dragons painted in the back windows count
as reflecting my reptilian side?

My vehicle itself isn't furry, but I've got a real nice howling wolf
plate on the front. The sky matches the blue of the car. I also have a
were bumper sticker that reads "Werewolf on board: Do Not Moon".

Well, I have a 1992 Hyundai Scoupe in metallic red with a matte-silver
underbelly. Her name is Kandi and her license plate is LA LYNX which is a
triple entrendre as per my punnish habit. She's small and fast and has
new tires that really grip the road like a lynx's big snowfeet. :3

I'm not partial to red cars, myself, but Kandi kinda talked me into it.
I'm looking to someday in the near future buy my first _new_ car after
cruising the Auto Show in NYC last month. Likely it'll be an Infinity
i30t, but I'm still waffling as to whether I want the silver with a black
leather interior, or black with a grey or white leather interior. :3 Then
I'll have my ermine!

Check out your local DMV (if you can, I know you can do it in CA) to see
what plates are already out there. While Totem animals are nice, there's
a lot of folks that like them without being furs themselves. One of my
housemates likes coyotes, but she couldn't get COYOTE as a plate because
it's been taken by a guy whose _name_ is Coyote. So her plate is KAI OT
(kai O-T) which has caused some confusions among non-furs like her family
(What's Kiot mean? What's Kay Overtime mean?)
If you have an unusual animal like me, your chances are better -- but I
couldn't get ERMINE in California because a furrier had it! So I did LA
LYNX here in NJ to make it more unusual (somehow I suspect I could've
gotten LYNX, but by this point I didn't want to risk the chance it was
taken).
Things like 4PAWZ, TAILWAG, MEOW, PETIGRE, and stuff tends to be
attractive to breeders of show animals, and general animal enthusiasts.
Based on your vehicle, I'd look to see if POLAR, SNOWBEAR, PLR BAR,
BIGFOOT, BGFOOT, FURREE, FURRY, 2FURRY, etc., are available. Be creative
with the spelling -- as long as you and your friends can puzzle it out,
don't worry about the rest. :3

I have a friend whose white Volvo bears the plate SNOLPRD
(pronounced "SnowMeow"), I have never done the vanity plate thing
myself tho. Thought about it, looked at the prices that the DMV
wants for vanity plate, and said "nope.". Plus since my totemish
critter is a bear, and I have no desire to emcumber myself with
the sexual baggage that comes along with that label.

Already made that step, and found out that a few of the more interesting
names are NOT taken (!!!). So as you'd expect, I am going to leap on
the opportunity.
My family really doesn't understand my want for Furry-type license plate
(and neither does the DMV). They want some sort of explanation for any
type of customized plates, so I've got to come up with one to explain my
choices...

An avid ornithologist acquaintance of my Mother's bought a Ford
Falcon, and being a bird-geek that he was, also ordered the
personalised license plate TERCEL. He had it for a couple of years,
all his fellow bird-geek buddies thinking it was the greatest idea
ever, then ?Toyota brought out their "Tercel"...
At Newcastle University (Australia), in the vicinity of the Arts
Departments, there's a ?Valiant painted all yellow with black
stripes.

Tercel is a variant of tiercel, a bird whose name is derived from an Old
English word for "one-third". At maturity, the male tiercel is 1/3 the
size of the female.

Eh? Although tiercel does derive from "one-third" or "the third", it's
because the male is 1/3 *smaller* than the female, not 1/3 the size. And
it's a generic term for a male bird of prey, though it's usually used of
the peregrine, gyrfalcon or goshawk.
I'm not a falconer/austringer. I don't even know if I have the
temperament for it. But I'd love to try, were there but world enough,
and time. :)
The early Tercels (my dad had an '81 when I was in college and he let me
drive it sometimes ;) ) included a stylized stooping bird of prey in the
badge on the back and the one in the center of the steering wheel.
Last summer we bought an '88 Caravan. We named it Balto after driving
through a raging snowstorm to the hospital last Dec. 27, for the arrival
of Benjamin (our happy little polar bear "rrRRRRRrrr" :D ).
