The Vanity License Plate Thread!

MD vanity plates are just too good...

Today I saw:

ROBOCOP


Some of my recent favs:

IBCNU
ITMVSME
LVSMYSKY
DE MAC


I now vaguely remember a thread about this from long time ago but that was then and this is now...

Feel free to add good ones, but they should be real...

First one I've seen in a while that made me chuckle was an SUV driving up Paca with the MD plate "2 SHEDS"

Recent groaners have included:

I'NSUREM (VA plate)
NUMBER1
LOLCAT (have seen this twice around Fells Point)

Say what you will about Long Island, but they seemed to have a better class of vanity plates. Neighbors in Holbrook included a Pathfinder with the plate JUSTNTME (this operating under the assumption that it was a crafty way to say "blow me" rather than just-in-time) and an Outback wagon with the terrifyingly descriptive ARKOFLUV.

That 8th character makes all the difference in the world.

My favorite ever is:

JISLORD

spotted driving down Howard a few years ago.
I thought it said JIZZ LORD, and sat at the red light
behind them trying to figure how they got away with
that, and just as the light turned green saw a TINY
little jesus fish sticker on the window and realized it
was J Is Lord

Depends on the plate.

Inscrutable ones seen today:

OIMMI (in context; car might have been a mid-90s avenger or similar)
LEABLEA (which I can't make head or tails of)

JRZBORN—cringed less for the "state pride" sentiment than the fact that it was tacked onto a Hummer H3.
