Just My Car or what does JMC stand for?
January 24, 2020 10:13 AM   Subscribe

I bought a used car and registered it today. The license plate issued by the DMV includes the letters JMC, and I want to find the right phrase (or phrases) to associate with these letters. Silly, whimsical, obvious, though-provoking: welcome. Religious, angry, unkind are not welcome. It is a Beetle!

The car in question is a 10+ year old silver Beetle that is new to me but has been in my family since it was new. I'll be using the car for day-trips, grocery shopping, and pleasure jaunts here and there. The car is for fun, it is a fun car, and I want to have some fun with the license plate. JMC?

The phrase "Jerry Mathers Creampie" just popped into my head, which is how I know it's time to log off.

Best answer: You could do worse than briefly thinking "Justice, Mercy, Compassion" every time you catch a glance at your car's license plate.

recursive: “JMC’s My Car”

which becomes (JMC’s My Car)’s My Car
which becomes ((JMC’s My Car)’s My Car)’s My Car
etc.
