My license plate reads VHDL. People have stopped me at gas stations, rest areas, malls, restaurants and various other places to ask me if it means ‘Very Hot Dick Licker.’ They are always disappointed when I tell them it stands for VHSIC Hardware Description Language. ---

California allows symbols, such as a heart, a hand, and several others on a certain series of plates. Here’s the one I saw a while back - on a VW New Beetle. **ARTZF(heart)Z** ---

> [@Trillionaire](#): > > Am I the only one who doesn’t get this? Probably just the only one to admit it! 😃 It’s a phonetic representation of “help me,” a la _The Fly_ (or some soul music). ---

There’s a bright yellow VW bug here in town with the tag: **FEATURE** (As in, it’s not a bug… It’s a feature!) I am perpetually lost. It’s genetic. So my tag reads: **CNFUZD** ---

I recently saw an H2 from New Jersey with the plate **4SHIZZLE** My uncle, who lives in Charlotte, tried to get the plate **CLT LKR** , but for some reason they just didn’t believe him when he said it stood for Charlotte Liker. ---

On a tow truck in Atlanta: **GOT YA** But the best was one I saw recently in Tallahassee. It was on a recent-make sedan driven by a middle aged white woman, upper middle class looking. The plate read **CDZNUTS**. I about ran off the road yelling, “Her plate says ‘see deeze nuts’!” ---

> [@caymus28](#): > > I recently saw an elderly man driving a Delorean with the license plate **X N TRIK**. yup. Awww it didn’t say Outtatime? Saw one that made me do a double take. Said 666 KXK But from far away, it looked like the X was a K. I’ve yet to figure out if it was accidental or not. Played pool with a guy in NC that had one that said YRU SLOW, which I kinda liked.
