I’ve got LYNX UP for almost a decade, and nobody’s figured it out yet. People keep thinking it’s a Linux thing…
When I lived in Kansas, I had MTBIKER. I’ve always wanted to have 3M TA3 just for the front.
I prefer to remain relatively anonymous on the road, so I’ve never had the desire to get a personalized number. A nice, hard-to-remember alphanumeric string suits me just fine. 
But, I still admire cleverness in others’ choices. I once saw a plate that read UCFAUYA.
Think pig latin.
kid I worked with bought an MG from a mutual friend. He promptly ordered vanity plates. About 2 weeks later, he wrecked the car doing 60 late at night. He survived, but the car was mangled. The next day his vanity tags arrived.
1BAD MG
When I bought my first TR-7 I considered the tag thing. (Couldn’t afford the extra cash - go figure) I considered:
Spritles7 (my real name would fit)
but I wanted to remain anonymous. I reeeeeeally thought about:
UV 081
This would be better, of course, on the front bumper. 
Maybe I’ll just get random letters to boggle some minds. Something like:
BKLTQFG or something.
10QBDBD Much,
Spritle
I got 'em! I got 'em!
Ordered them this morning, should arrive in a few weeks! Hooray!
I am too psyched. The DMV lady on the phone about busted a gut when I spelled it out. She couldn’t believe they were available.

So… which ones dja get? HAPICMPR?
Saw a Honda Accord with “UJUSTNO” last night.
You just know…what?
Yep- I am one
HAPICMPR today!

For the record, a FOAF tried to get 3M TA3…the Virginia DMV apparently has that flagged as “You’re out of your mind if you think we’re letting you get away with that.”
A few years ago I had TLPCASM - “This license plate contains a Satanic message.”
Then I had TCNOHOR…“Technowhore.” Those plates are still sitting on my now-defunct Honda (which died on the way to a Dopefest…the things I do for you people!). (And by the way…anyone got a spare 1985 Honda Accord transmission lying around?)
I want to get personalized plates again - they’re cheap as dirt in Virginia. This time I want to get HMADRYD. Hell, my handle’s old enough to drive, I figure it deserves a license plate, right?
A truck up the street has BYTE MOI. I wonder how moi would feel about that.
And to close…big CONGRATS to Zette for lucking out on that plate. Woo hah!
In missouri, they just ruled that you can have offensive plates that dont contain profanity. This allows some Uber-loser in Jeff City to keep his “Aryan 1” license plates.
I have one. My wife got it for me as a borthday present.
It says “MY ELF”. An inside joke.
Just got my EUTY plates today. Woo-hoo!
If you think about the purpose of license plates (for the police or fellow drivers to track you down and get you in trouble for driving violations), why would you want a plate that is easy to memorize?
Well, Dave- I don’t violate traffic laws, so I don’t care if the cops know my plates.
Easy enough!
Besides, I can’t see speeding down the road in my Pathfinder and 1973 Coleman Pop-up. The thing is like dragging a house.

Years ago I saw a New York plate that read, as best I can recall: QQOQQOQO
The only “meaning” I could think of was that the owner had intentionallly selected a plate that would be difficult to read and remember. Anyone seen anything similar, or have an alternate explanation for that one?
I have a personalized plate. It’s actually for my husband, but I drive the car. It reads 3DS MAX for 3D Studio Max, a 3-D animation software program he worked on.
It does give me pause sometimes to have an easily-recognized plate. I mean, not so many people know what it refers to, but it does make one’s car stand out in ways that might work to your detriment at times.
Some doctors in my hometown had some good ones:
The eye Dr.: 2CCME
The urologist: 2PCME
