George H.W. Bush was another politician who supported switching to the metric system.  He even signed an executive order mandating it.  He was also a single-term President.  If George H.W. Bush would’ve won re-election, our road signs would be in metric, but the trade-off is that we might still be poking along at 110 km/h on freeways outside of cities and 90 km/h on all other highways.George H.W.

This is one of those songs that I was hearing the lyrics wrong.  When I was a kid I thought it was “6th Avenue Harley”, which was a motorcycle dealership on 6th Avenue, lol.

I like it.  Thanks.

The song’s kind of sad but I really love those rainy empty street scenes.

I like Highway to Hell but I didn’t know it was about an actual highway in Australia.  Thanks.

I like all of those!  Thanks.

Highway 101 is a popular highway that gets mentioned a lot in songs.  I can think of this one and at least two others right now.

Did you go to school there or just live there?  I think it would be kind of cool to have a road in your town or by your school that was made famous in a song.

I like that one!  Good choice!

This makes me think of Detroit and US-24, even though Dire Straits is British.

It’s too many characters for most license plates, but if I were in charge of the license plate issuing agency, I’d make an exception and have the plate made for you.

lol, I like the creativity.

OK, it’s 1:30 in the morning, so that might be why I’m missing this one, or it might just be my hair color.  Is that a HAM radio call sign like Wolfhound’s license plate or something else?  I’m stumped.

Is that a personalized plate or just a standard letter, three numbers, three letters sequence license plate that just happened to be Miss Gum?  lol, If I were next in line at the license plate office, I could’ve been M155 GUN.

That’s a good one.  You might just be able to sneak that one by your license plate issuing agency.

I see a lot of cars with call signs on license plates where I live, so it must be pretty popular here.

Do you have a specialty plate for that?

That might be a pretty popular choice.

I didn’t know Argentina let people have personalized license plates.  Do they let you use Ñ?  If so, don’t tell Randy unless you want a new next door neighbor.

Anything breakfast.  Yuck!  I like breakfast, just not on pizza.  I can have bacon on my pizza, but no eggs and no breakfast sausage!

Road Trip Music Challenge: Will you post a song that mentions a specific highway, road or street?

A song about Route 1.

What would your custom license plate message be?
