1.) Treker – Not enough room for that second “k”. I guess. Six Character Limit.
2.) AALICE — What made this one wonderful was that it was on a Mini-Cooper.
3.) Just today, I came up behind a “disguised” police cruiser on the interstate. I wouldn’t have known it was a police car, were it not for the flashing red and blue lights behind the structure in the back (and, presumably, behind the grille in the front). There were no obvious antennae, extra attachments, or obvious police fittings on the inside visible.
Being a nice guy, and deferring to the cops, I slowed down and let them re-enter the flow of traffic from the shoulder they’d been on. Only then did I notice the license plate.
If you went to all that trouble to disguise a police car, you’d give it a pretty ordinary, non-descript license plate, wouldn’t you? That way it would blend right in and not call attention to itself. That’s just common sense, right?
So tell me why this one’s license read: 666
(If you’re driving in Massachusetts, now you know. Use this knowledge wisely.)
Once, on the freeways, I saw the following license plate: IMINMY
I couldn’t understand it at first. But then I realized that it had some common information about the car written on the license plate frame, and I understood. And chuckled.
Can you guess what the make and model of the car were?
I once knew a guy in the Navy whose MOS was Russian linguist. His plate read MATPOC, and means “sailor” in Russian. It was fortunate that the Cyrillic letters in the word were all also in the Roman alphabet, although not pronounced the same.

In the UK the standard number plate format is 2 letters, 2 digits, 3 letters. A while back I saw “WU55 SEY” on a big BMW.

Using the previous format (1 letter, 1-3 digits, 3 letters), I saw a fully chavved up motor – tinted windows, spoiler, shiny alloys – with the number plate X4 SBO, spaced, and with strategically placed bolts, to read X ASBO. :rolleyes:
I wonder how often he got stopped by the rozzers.
(Note for non-Brits: ASBO.)

I’m still waiting to see a car with this number plate.

One of the cop cars in my home town has the tag number “187” - which is the police code for homocide.
Just the other day I saw the license plane " TIDE10S". I would have figured it out sooner had I noticed it was from the state of Tennessee
In the suburb across the road from where I used to live, there was a car with the plate TELXON–one of the competitors to the company I worked for. It didn’t seem to help; Telxon is no more. The place I was working at at the time is still going strong.
I spent a good minute going over the movie “Shrek” before I caught on.

*sorry for the double-post, but…
A long time ago, when I worked at McD’s, I had a customer come through drive-thru with a plate that read G8RB8 – she said she had gotten it a few weeks after she had been attacked by an alligator on vacation in Florida. She showed me the scars. I thought it was hilarious.
