I’ve always wanted a hearse so that I could get plates that said U NEXT or CYA SOON.
I thought it would be fun to get 8 MYKIDS. (Except I don’t have any.)
Two days ago I saw one that said 2BSY 2P.
Perhaps the most irritating was on a white Honda driven by “daddy’s little girl”. It said MULAN, and the chrome frame said “They call me pretty pretty princess”. ACK!
My favourite plate that I’ve seen is A6M TYPE0… on a Mitsubishi! Hahahahahaha!

I can beat all of those. My father has, for years, been notorious in the Burlington area. He is a Vietnam vet, and has a handicap plate: CRIP. There is another guy in Burlington with GIMP. They wave to eat other.
I wouldn’t call this plate the oddest out of the hundreds of vanity places that I have seen, but it nicely summarized the 80s decade when I saw this on the back of a BMW over ten years ago:
XTCINXS
I always thought that it’d be cool to send a message to policemen with radar guns everywhere with my own license plate which would read “C U CU”. Okay, so it uses a little chemistry to get the last word, but still…
Mitsubishi, that fine company known for making SUVs and the Galant, is the same company that manufactured the A6M “Zero” fighter that took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor and decimated the inferior (at the time) American planes.

I knew someone whose license plate said “SWE PEA.” The car was a forest-green '67 Mustang convertible. And he didn’t even ask for the plate; it was just given to him by chance.
The CA DMV wouldn’t let it through at first, but he complained that since his name was David Clapp (it was), that they couldn’t bar it without defaming him. They gave in.
My wife got me a custom plate for my birthday. It says “MY ELF”.
Story behind it? When we were dating/engaged, she asked if “I like to do housework.” I told her, “Do I like it? I’ll do my share, but I certainly won’t complain if an elf comes in the middle of the night and we find it’s all done.”
Fast-forward to December 30, 1995. We’re married a little over 9 months and making a bridal shower in our house for one of her best friends. We make a chinese buffet, which obviously generated many dirty dishes. Somewhere around midnight-1 AM, my wife fell asleep. The following morning, there wasn’t a dirty dish in the house. I told her that an elf had come into the house and done the dishes.
To this day, she accuses me of having done them, as well as numerous other loads of dishes over the years. I maintain that we have an elf that comes regularly.

“Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it that the merely improbable lacks.”
