Hilarious Custom License Plates

May 1, 2014

You’re having a bad day and all you need to do is get out of the house and onto some open road. You just can’t wait to speed away in your Nissan Altima. You put on your seatbelt, put on your favorite playlist, and put the pedal to the metal.

Just your luck, you hit every red light.

“Blast!” you yell out loud.

You look ahead, and there it is a custom license plate. But it’s not just any custom license plate, it’s happens to be hilarious.

The plate reads, “JedI IAM”. You start to laugh, and all of the sudden your day seems brighter.

Custom license plates, especially clever or funny ones, can make anyone smile on the road.

What was the best custom license plate that you have ever seen?

Day-trip anyone?

July 6, 2011

enjoying the sites of Atchison Kansas

For some … getting away is as easy as taking a bath or enjoying a new book – and for others, it’s about separating your everyday life from another. So, where can you go for a day that won’t eat up too much time or your pocket book? One of my favs on the list: Nell Hill’s in Atchison, Kansas. Nothing says relaxation like a little interior shopping! Now this day trip wasn’t what I’d call a ‘getaway,’ because I had a camera crew alongside. But what I got to experience was a little bit of history, a lot of decor and some quality time away from the daily grind. I got to chat with owner, Mary Carol, about the wonderful hidden treasures at Nell Hill’s along with the ease of arriving.

playing around ...

Back before dinner … with a story to share. Stay tuned for a little 60 second spot on day trips in Kansas City.

Girlfriend – scratch that – Husband Getaway

May 24, 2011

Dana's ride for the weekend!

Last weekend, Dana Buchanan and her husband made a quick romantic getaway to Weston, Missouri. Along with a one-night stay at the local B & B, they received some spending cash and a demo on us. Dana and her husband got to drive the brand new Chevrolet Cruze for the weekend. Let’s see how it went … Q. How did you get involved in this? A. Last year, I decided to go to the Holiday Mart with my daughter. It was my first time going and I loved it! As I was leaving, I registered for the Girlfriend Getaway with Lauren Wants To Know.  Imagine my surprise, when I received your email that said I WON! At first I thought to myself – what’s the catch? But, as I began corresponding with you I realized I was just lucky and actually won something free in my life! 🙂 Q. What next? A. My husband and I agreed on a weekend that we were both in town and I began working out the details with you all. Everyone was very courteous and friendly, by the way. Q. How was the weekend? A. Our weekend was wonderful! Very relaxing – which we needed. We did quite a bit of antique shopping, took our time and shopped in the unique shops in downtown Weston.  We checked into the B & B and next door was a restaurant/bar . We decided to check it out later that evening – we had drinks and live entertainment, so we really enjoyed ourselves.  I believe the name was O’Malleys.  Very busy! Q. How was the car? A. The Chevrolet Cruze did great and thankfully got good gas mileage.  We actually drove around Weston quite a bit looking at different antique shops and winerys and just the pretty green country.  It was nice not to spend our money on gas! Sounds like a fun weekend, Dana.
