I saw an utterly bewildering novelty plate (not an actual DMV one, one of the ‘meaningless’ front ones) the other day. At Wal-Mart, on a pickup truck, of course. It was exactly [this](http://altura.speedera.net/ccimg.catalogcity.com/200000/207600/207651/Products/6725962.jpg) design, with added big, bold blue letters across the bottom. It said…
Guatemala.
😕😕

I know a science teacher with an excellent plate: C6H12O6. 😃

Jesus Reigns, perhaps?
Not that I’ll ever buy a Ferrari, but if I do my vanity plate will be:
**CMPNS8N**

Saddest personalized license plate I’ve ever seen was **CHMOD 777**.
I can just see the horny UNIX geek (redundant?) driving around with that one thinking he’s all bad-ass: “Oh yeah. All access, baby!”

Hmm, my first thought was “Jesus Christ - Reigns” but I dunno.

Reminds me of the Corvette I’ve seen around my neighborhood with the license plate “Y2K COR.” Was 2000 a special year for Corvettes or something? 😕
About a year ago I saw an expensive-looking sports car with the license plate “PRE NUP.” I thought it was tacky.

Um…I still don’t get what DEEP 13 means?
Just to add a license plate…I saw a Corvette with DZBLOND

Car and Driver had one that said NVWSSV. I think that’s pretty clever.
A less common, but still occasionally seen, plate is ID10T. When I see them I think that they’re military guys because the ID10T form is a pretty old military joke.

It’s reference to Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s the name of the place where the evil scientists operated. It was located in the 13th sub-basement of Gizmonics Institute.

Then you’re probably not a fan of the television show _Mystery Science Theater 3000_. Hey, there’s a license plate-MST3KFN.
My dad knew a fellow mortician with the plate EMBALMD.
The best suggestion I ever heard came from a stand up commedian: PMS666

There’s a 2000 VW Beetle around here with the license plate Y2K BUG. I think that’s clever.

Some guy in town has a Cadillac with a plate that says WEALTHY. Whether he means it in a spiritual or a materialistic sense, I think he’s a jackass either way.

There’s a yellow car here in town with plates reading YELLOW.

My dad got a special plate for his Porsche: XNTRIX.
Kinda clever. Except–
He then named his boat XNTRIX2.
And I think there’s a motorcycle, XNTRIX3.
Which means, I guess, that the dog is XNTRIX6, the riding mower is XNTRIX12, and his battery-powered vibrating toothbrush is XNTRIX37.
And I hear he was trying to talk his latest wife into an ass tattoo…

A programmer coworker of mind has **2B OR D4** , which is a programming logic joke, as D4 is the logical NOT of 2B.

The kids of a VP at an ex-employer got him GODSMRC for Good Old Dads Mercedes. He got rid of it, though. He had a big ego, but didn’t want other motorists to think he thought he was God.

There’s a rather nice sporty type car somewhere in town here that has the plate **THXDAD**. I think that’s kinda cute.
And I can’t remember if I saw or just heard of a fancy-ass car with the plate **WAS HIS**.
I have seen WAY too many variations of **IM A QT** , though. Oddly, it seems to me that the drivers never are.

A friend of mine used to have this: LCNSEPL8
I thought it was funny. Sadly, it is no longer. He got a normal one on the next car.

I saw one in Texas in 1984 that read **6UL DV8**
