The wifes got Kinks on her truck, with a Union Jack/Stars and stripes crossed.

I have Titch on the back of my old Mercury thing with a Union Jack on the front.

Seen recently outside the sports facilities in a park near us here in Tempe, an SUV with 10SLUVR (Think about it!) ...

Friend told me about this one:

WVU2UVA … or something like that ... hard to remember them sometimes.

I asked somebody local about this plate … got told something like: West Virginia University (WV) transferred (U) to University Virginia (UVA) … maybe the student was pleased to make the transfer!

BTW When I ordered it came in less than a week, it cost me $8.95, including $2 shipping.

I did not know that one could use a country's designation in a car number plate. I would like something like "DNA 1" or "ATP-1" or "Biotech". The senior partner (in fact he was the only partner) of the last law firm I worked at had a custom plate, something like: "Patent 1".

The other day I saw an average looking car but with the plates, “Shahab 3�. Hmmmmm, maybe this car owner is not so happy about the USA.

Anyone else seen an exceptional car number plate that left one wondering about the vehicle’s owner?

I recently ordered ' OBOLOKZ ' through the DMV website. It is quite easy however I have not got the plates yet, as it takes 8 - 12 weeks to arrive to your specified DMV location for pick up. I was thinking of 'BRUMEE' for my second car if I like the first ones.

I saw an old beater on the UNM campus the other day with the plate 'SCHROOOM'.

How many times do you think he's been pulled over?
