The Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Yellow Brick Road.

All Judy Garland joking aside, you have to be in a very specific frame of mind to pick 'OZ' as your VLP. This guy got immensely lucky: He was the first one to apply for a plate that read 'OZ' in the state of Utah.

I guess you can count the 'Wizard of Oz' movie fans in Utah with the fingers in one hand. Or at least the ones who are actually going to apply for a VLP that reads 'OZ'. I'm impressed he got this plate and didn't end up with something like 'OZ97' or 'WIZRDOZ', or even worse 'ZARDOZ'. I guess Sean Connery probably drives a 1975 MG with California 'ZARDOZ' plates. Yes, I know even thinking of that joke makes me the biggest dork in the world, but satire is hard work and no one ever promised you'd leave this web page unscathed.

In any case, our Wizard of Oz VLP owner should feel proud he was the first Utah native to even think of getting this plate. This does in fact make him kind of unique and cool. He still probably likes Judy Garland (Not that there's anything wrong with that!), so it kind of evens out.
