Wendy’s connection to her vanity plate ran deeper than just a spur-of-the-moment decision. She had wanted the plate for years, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make it hers. When the state of New Hampshire expanded the character limit on custom plates from six to seven, she jumped at the chance. “PB4WEGO” was finally available, and Wendy seized the moment, proudly displaying it on her car for everyone to see.

Unfortunately for Wendy, the state’s rules have since changed. According to New Hampshire officials, the updated regulations came into effect following a ruling from the state’s Supreme Court. The new rules are more specific, leaving less room for interpretation when it comes to what can and cannot be displayed on vanity plates. This shift is why Wendy’s once-accepted plate now found itself on the chopping block.

As Wendy fights to keep her beloved plate, she continues to stand firm in her belief that there’s nothing inappropriate about it. Whether the state will reconsider remains to be seen, but for now, Wendy’s story serves as a reminder of the ongoing debate over personal expression, state regulations, and where the line between the two should be drawn.
