I was born on Feb. 29, so I sort of have a unique birthday. It only occurs every four years.
Back in 1977, I was looking to put a vanity plate on one of my first cars that would tie into my unique birthday. I checked with the registry to see if FEB29 was available, but someone already had it. Then I asked about LEAPYR and it was available! I put that on my 1972 Plymouth 340 Duster.
When I had my first child, my husband and I sold the two-door muscle car in favor of a 1985 Plymouth Voyager minivan that made toting children and their friends easier. The plate was transferred to that minivan and then later on to a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. It is now on my 2007 Ford Edge.
A lot of people comment on my LEAPYR plate.
