Anyone seen audiophile lisence plates passin' by?

The most interesting personal plate I’ve seen was not aimed at audiophiles.

It read:

IDDOC

Took me awhile to figure that one out.

Also Zd542, where do you live that personal plates cost $4000.00 or is that directed at Kimber cable? Here they are $150.00.

Just took me a few seconds, but I had the benefit of having seen "Forbidden Planet" many times :-)

HURRAY , should have known a sharp cookie like Al (alias Robby the Robot) would get it right :-).

To pay respect to this thread that brought a smile to my face, I submit an audiophile license plate I captured at T.H.E. Show Newport.

The Newport California show is coming up in late May, if you attend this tiny classic BMW may be in the hotel driveway again.

By the way, this belongs to Kevin at Upscale Audio, very much a tube guy :-).

Re "IDDOC," Plato also had it right in his post above. To be sure it's clear, the holder of the license plate would be a doctor who deals with problems involving the id. In other words, a psychiatrist. The relevance of "Forbidden Planet" is that someone who remembers that scene knows what the id is :-)

I was not trying to leave anyone out, posts here don’t always appear in the order they were sent.

Al’s was the first I read and I was surprised anyone got it so quick. Other replies, Infectious Disease and Illegal ID are appropriate but I like to think the personal plate was inspired by Forbidden Planet.

I’m a huge fan of Forbidden Planet. It’s in good company with only a couple of other Sci Fi movies that qualify as best ever (on my list).

Loved the original 1956, “Invasion of The Body Snatchers” and original 1951 version of “The Day The Earth Stood Still.”

And what is it about audiophiles and science fiction anyway?

And what is it about audiophiles and cars, watches, wine, beer and all the other topics we bounce around here at Audiogon :-)). ?
