On my way to work this morning, I saw a vanity license plate (Ohio) that said: GRR ARGH. That’s great! For those of you that were just whooshed, here’s the [reference.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_Enemy_Productions) ---

My favorite ever was a [New Hampshire](http://www.dred.state.nh.us/divisions/forestandlands/bureaus/naturalheritage/graphics/NHMooseTHANKS.jpg) plate: & SQURRL It made one person smile on a dark and stormy morning on Rte. 3. Runner up is “PMGRL” on a cute little Mercedes convertible. Mom and I just looked at each other and I sighed, “I wonder how she makes her living”. [I love the VW one.] ---

[QUOTE=Scarlett67] I saw my favorite on a beat-up Delorean (a find in and of itself!): FLUXING. I’ve got a picture of it somewhere. [/QUOTE] I’d love to see the pic! I’ve always dreamed of having one. When I was a teenager, my brother and I decided that mine would have a license plate that says “ERTHANGL.” His DeLorean would have a plate the read “SLACKER.” Our favorite movie of all time–the one thing my little brother and I could agree on. ---

Some of these I don’t get. I saw a BMW with “NI KAP” in a hospital car park last year. This being Northern Ireland, I’m not 100% sure whether it belongs to an orthopaedic surgeon or a paramilitary boss. ---
