her license plate reads: BAD TINK

That sounds like some kind of dirty sex thing.

However, the best license plate ever continues to be on I saw earlier this year: LICNSE PL8

it does, until two thoughts entered my mind:

1) anyone who insists on covering their car with tinkerbell stickers, including a personalized license plate, is not someone i would want to sleep with (if i randomly slept with people i drive by).

2) and i would use two out of three of those words to describe the driver.

Not making this up, I swear to god:

I saw a PT Cruiser with a license plate that said "I ♥ JCVD". On either side of the plate were some little stickers with pictures of Jean Claude van godDammnit.

I witnessed that maybe 4 or 5 months ago. Perhaps it was a publicity stunt for the new movie. But I'd like to think it was an honest expression of fanhood.

This isn't bad if you take "FWD" to stand for "factory-wrapped douche."

Do you people live in southern CA?

One time I saw a priest driving a car with a plate "PRAY".

Swear to God.

My first year of college at the University of Maine there was a car in front of my dorm building that had Rammstein stickers everywhere and the license plate was, appropriately, "RAMMSTN"

In Virginia the state must pay you to have a vanity plate.   I think every car has one.

this is true, but my understanding is that it's because it's ridiculously cheap in VA to have a personalized plate.

My wife, a middle school art teacher, has VIN GO, which I guess only makes sense if you know my last name, which means Tom and Ted and Laurie and Jason Grote and Andy and Gilly and Masterofsparks and at least one person I am forgetting might get it.

I saw a plate out here once that was driving recklessly and had "DUI" on the license plate.  I can't remember what the other letters/numbers were, but they lead me to believe that this was a vanity plate.  Scary stuff.

On a related note, there's a car I've seen 4 or 5 times around town that has stickers for the Cavemen television series.  I've tried to take pictures with my phone while driving but they never turn out.

I've been threatening for years to get a plate that says DEF LPRD. Just can't go through with it, though.

I mean, it's gotta be out there already, right?

A friend of mine has a license that is my initials and my birthday. "CMH 716"

At first I was amused, but then I was immediately a bit creeped out.

Circa 1984, there was a gynecologist in my town who was fairly handsome and cheated on his airhead wife fairly openly. He drove a red Porsche Targa and his license plate said, "Pap Man".

Yep, I also live in Virginia.

This was probably around 93 or 94, my parents were taking me and my little brother to the Bronx Zoo and on the way there I saw a NY license plate that said "HOMEBOY" and for some reason it's one of those mundane things from when I was a little kid that I never forgot and am always reminded of it pretty much any time I think about vanity license plates.

I also saw one in a Burger King drive-thru 2 or 3 years ago that read "KILLA", which cracked me up since the driver looked like a 15 year old version of Buster from Arrested Development.

No we've already established that 716 is mine and DfK's birth-date. So that driver loved us, or our birthdays. Obviously.

The best one I've seen was when I went to do my drug test for a new job. They told me that I had five minutes to give them my sample. As I was leaving, I noticed there was a car with a vanity license plate that read "5MIN2GO". I was dumbfounded, to be honest-- it's the sort of thing that doesn't make any sense except in the exact right context, but when it does...

A girl who I went to high school with had that one.

Another girl had SPICY on her Ford Probe.
