I once saw a license plate frame that said MY OTHER CAR IS UP MY NOSE.
My husband’s ex-boss had a plate that said PRD CBN. His wife gave him another plate for his birthday that said 1HOTCBN.
A year (and a little wifey’s-40th-birthday surprise-package baby) later, he was back to PRD CBN again. Guess some Cubans can get a little **too **hot.
Johnny Carson’s personalized plate said 360 GUY (in the days when California plates already came in the format three-numbers-three-letters.
I ride a cobalt blue Vespa ET-4 with a tag that says NEL BLU, but nobody gets it. <pout>
Maybe they’re not Italian. Or Wassily fans.
I used to see a red Ferrari in the parking lot of my gym that said “RM 4 A GRL.” If that doesn’t scream “mid-life crisis,” I don’t know what does.
Along those lines I saw one with “VAXVMS”.
I hope the guy surrendered those by now.
At least it isn’t a blue Pinto! 
Good God! Scarlett, that link is LOADED with adware and spyware and all kinds of other shit. Christ. I’m still cleaning off my machine. Please check for that or post a warning or something next time. Arrgh.
I haven’t seen many vanity plates here - the only one I heard of that really made me laugh was the porn star Fiona Richmond’s car - FU2.

No way, he’s clutching those with all his strength, just like he’s holding onto those technologies, knowing that somewhere, someone needs him 
I just saw a plate a week ago that said “ILUMIN8”.
Bad enough that one of our newest neighbours drives a tiny little brown van with a bumper sticker that says “I fling poo.”
I once saw some sort of sports convertible with the plate: M5 ORAL. I had to wonder if she was: boasting; advertising; or explaining how she got the car.
Actually, I saw one this morning that was kind of clever in how it summed up personalized plates: ME ME ME
Best plate I saw was a BMW with “WAS HIS”.
Still makes me chuckle to this day.
The reason I got vanity plates is because I’m dyslexic. It’s the only way I can remember my plate number! Well, in my case, it’s letters…
ISELLEX
My mother in law thought it meant “I sell extra small.” Nope.
I sell excess.
I was gonna get my buisness name once, untill I noticed it would spell out a diffrent meaning entirely. :eek:
Wow. Your plates up in WA allow nine characters? I thought seven characters on ours in MT looked crowded enough. Or do they allow more in a case like that because it has two "I"s in it?
The answer lies in the line you quoted.
I’m asleep at the wheel, Anastasaeon. I will pay more attention next time.
I’ve always wanted to write a full sentence across my back bumper in the exact color and font of a license plate, and let the plate sit in the middle of it filling in six or seven letters. Kind of an überbumpersticker. I wonder if that’s illegal?
While wandering Boston, I once encountered a black Volkswagon Rabbit with the vanity plate “FU INLE”. I hung around for a few minutes hoping to compliment the owner, but had to leave before s/he appeared.
One of my friends’ girlfriends had a randomized license plate with your standard 6 letter-number combination, except in Florida, there are usually 3 letters on one side of the plate together.
In her case, it spelled “FEA”. Why this would be acceptable in Florida is beyond me, but it should probably be avoided like the “ASS” combination, for instance, by the randomization computers*. I did notice, however, that she had a different tag the last time I saw her car, so maybe they relented and replaced her number.
However, the avoidance algorithms might only go so far: I did work with someone who had a (random, I should hope,) tag that was “A55 FKL”. I’m not sure what an “Ass Fuckle” is, and I don’t wanna know.
*“fea” means “ugly” in Spanish.
