Edit: I just realized this has already been answered. Sorry.
I was driving behind a little Asian bloke in a Golf GTi with the licence plate L14R LL. I don’t think it’s the kind of trait I’d want to be advertising but he was justifiably proud of it.
Just this morning I drove to work behind VADER. The other best ones I’ve seen are GANDALF and DEATH.
First time I clicked that I got some weird turtle thing.
I see quite a few vanity plates in Atlanta. Saw the other day that said MRS YUM. I’ve seen DDDYSGRL. Saw one on a Lexus that said IWILLSU. Do you think it’s possible the owner was, whattayacallit – a huge asshole?
But my favorite has got to be PSSYCHSR. Truth in advertising, I guess.

Damn, I can’t find the picture . . . it must be buried in a folder of unnamed photos with filenames like IMG05152002.jpg. But I swear to God, a few years ago we were walking through a parking lot and came across an honest-to-God beat-up Delorean with a custom plate: FLUXING.
I saw one once that said ‘PRNSTR’ on a mercedez outside of a restaurant.
“Weird turtle thing”?
That, my friend, is Discworld, done as a wedding cake. It’s the cover of that particular Picassa album, weird how that linked to the cover instead of the right picture.
I don’t get it.
Years back, a little silver convertible in my office’s parking lot had the custom plate “Hot Choc” or some variation thereof (meaning “Hot Chocolate”). I was surprised to discover it belonged to a staid-looking mid-forties white woman.
There’s an “Isildur” (from The Lord of the Rings) near my house that hasn’t been moved in a year.

Found 'em!
FLUXING
I’m gonna guess that it’s the driver’s last name, if you use the Spanish word for “8”. In other words, “Ochoa”. Am I right?
He was workin’ from one end to the other and all points in between.

On about a half-dozen occasions while living in Raleigh, NC in the mid-to-late 1990s, I saw a blue Volvo 240 station wagon with a ‘Starfleet Academy’ sticker in the rear window where you’d normally see someone plugging their favorite university. There were no other Star Trek related markings on the car except for the license plate: NCC 1701.
Mine is just this work-related, too. Most of my co-workers proclaim it the funniest thing they’ve ever seen. (We need to get out more.)
PITOCYN
My name is Cyn, I’m a nurse, I give pitocin; get it? Hello?
Back in the mid 80’s I used to service a Volvo 240 that had the California plate NCC1701. I don’t recall the color of the car, or if it was a wagon or sedan.

My all time favorite was on the back of a Honda. It was the early 80s and I was visiting a shop. There was the absolute stunning young lady talking to the owner. The license plate and plate frame on the Honda read:
It’s a dirty job
Mudwrsl
But somebody has to do it
Yep.
I know I have posted this before, but my fav license plate is KLTLKR as seen on a harley. I saw that my second week ever working for a harley dealership. I wish I had had a camera phone then.

I’ve seen a L1CHE before now.
