I saw [LLLLLLL](http://www.flickr.com/photos/15695513@N00/6171556111) on a black DTS recently. I don’t get it either. ---

Remembered another one: When I was in high school there was a guy who drove an Iroc with the plate N ROLL (I rock and roll). The funny thing was his name was Nate Roll so it was double clever. ---

I see them all the time, but I don’t recall thwem later. It’s like dreams – if I don’t write them down, I forget them. Just yesterday I saw one that read **YEP**. ---

Yesterday I saw a Pontiac GTO with the plate XTINCT. Amused me no end. On a related note, a few days ago I saw someone who had a bumper sticker, on their actual bumper, that said BUMPERSTICKER. Very meta. ---

Just the other day I saw a handicapped plate that said WICCAN. I wish I had taken a picture since it was sort of funny to see WICCAN followed by a picture of a wheelchair. (The only font I could find that had the wheelchair symbol was webdings and VB doesn’t support that.) I chuckled a bit as a pictured a person saying “hold on guys, my wheel is caught in the mud again.” Also, at the same time I saw one that said “ABCDEFG” ---

I saw [this one](http://www.flickr.com/photos/schbmr/1153571188/sizes/z/in/set-72157600674068779/) in front of a vet school. A big, dirty truck with “MOO VET” plates was parked a couple of spaces over. ---

> [@Morgyn](#): > > On a related note, a few days ago I saw someone who had a bumper sticker, on their actual bumper, that said BUMPERSTICKER. Very meta. If our vanity plates didn’t cost something like $250, I’d try for “PLATE”. But the Ministry of Transportation would probably disallow it on the grounds that it might be confusing to ticket-writers. ---

A friend posted one on Facebook yesterday, a handicapped tag that said “TIMMAY” Timmy is a wheelchair-bound character on South Park. His only word is his name which he pronounces like “Timmay” but he can express almost any thought or emotion by the way he says it. ---

I saw an Audi with “HAUDI.” And not funny, but awesome: a graduate student at my school had “ILVMATH.” Made me smile every time I saw it. ---

There is a car on my street with the plates IVRYTKLR. I can only assume the person has some sort of bizarre elephant fetish.
