FatBaldGuy: That is HILARIOUS! I love it!  
I saw a car a few weeks ago with the plate: TUITION  
Made me wonder. Did they spend their tuition money on the car?

I saw a crappy one on a Rover yesterday:

R100VOR

I also saw a car today whose numberplate was W33… The 3s were done like reverse Es (probably illegally) so it looked like ‘WEE’ something. I don’t remember the rest of it as it didn’t make sense to me at the time.

[QUOTE=silk1976]  
My coworker has a light green saab with the license plate **wasaabi**

I thought it was clever on multiple levels.  
[/QUOTE]

Very cute!

The interesting one for me was one time, in Times Square, a sedan whipped around the corner and narrowly missed me. The license plate was RIP GDG.

GDG being my initials. :eek: Ha, you missed, suckers!

There’s a kit Cobra in these parts with the plates:

TI 3V0J (LOVE IT)

I do… It’s very pretty and the owner keeps it nice and shiny.

A few years ago, I saw a van with plates:

**12INCHES**

I almost got into an accident, trying to catch a glimse of the driver. It turned out to be a \*woman. \* ☹

I’ve seen a couple around town here recently :

**NACLDOG** (salty dog)  
**R SQRD** (r-squared) on a Scion XB

I want to get: **ROCKLKR** or **RCKLIKR** for rock licker (i’m a geologist) but I think the DMV might not allow it even though they both pass on the “is the plate available” feature)

We did this awhile back. I’ll post these again.  
About 20 years ago, I was on the PCH near Malibu and saw a sporty red BMW w/ “DAHLINQ”, I remember wondering if it might be Billy Crystal, but I was a couple of car lengths behind and never saw the drivers face.  
I read, or heard about this one. On an expensive flashy car driven by a beautiful young woman: “4BNGD”. (for bein’ good). You wonder if her parents bought it for good behavior, or a sugar daddy for ‘bad’ behavior.

Lots of odd ones over the years. Yesterday I just saw  
**PTRPAN29**  
Years ago, I used to pass an old Honda every day. The “N” in “Honda” on the back had fallen off, or been pried off. The license plate read:

**MYHODA**  
My all-time favorite, though, is the car I got stopped behind at a red light:

**ML8-ML8**

It was obviously intentional, and I puzzled over it for a while. Fortunately, we were at that red light, because I had time to notice that the car it was on was a White Rabbit. That tied it all together. (The car I saw had New Hampshire plates. I’ve since heard of others, for other states). A friend reported having seen a Black Rabbit with the license plate  
**INLE**

They must’ve been fans of Watership Down.

I saw an old guy (probably in his 70s) in some manner of hot-stuff convertible with the plate **ICAN2**.

My favorite was the one that said **CROOOW**. (A MST3K reference.)
