Saw a picture of a Volkswagen Rabbit with the license plate “FXLK12”...

Yeah.... well, I guess that only works if you are in a state that actually puts plates on the front of the car.

Some of things are so obscure it’s not possible to decipher them unless you know the person’s inside story...or are just plain stupid. In either case, you wonder why people waste their money.

Several years ago, with my son driving and I'm in the passenger seat we spot a PA vanity plate that said "DILLIGAF", and we tried to figure out what it meant, but couldn't.

She stopped at a redlight and I asked her {young, attractive woman} what it meant and she smiled and said, "Do I look like I give a f---?"

I know it was a little rank, but both my son and I laughed our butts off.

I’m ashamed to admit I got that one immediately.

I saw the same car on the PA turnpike.

Doesn’t work in MI. Only rear plates are required. :)

[samiam1972]

LOL!!! I needed the clue. I did not get that at all. Very funny!

[ErnBatavia]

For sure....check that Adam’s Apple.

[dalereed]

Doesn’t mean anything either way, just some jumbled letters and numbers!

Some busybody saw the vanity plate “ISLCRK” and was sure it stood for “I sell crack”. She notified authorities who asked the owner of the plate what he thought it stood for and he said...

“Island creek, I live on Island creek.”

Ahh yes, VA personalized plates (which if I remember correctly from when I lived there from 2000-2004, they run just $10) The two plates I remember the best were BEER PLZ and LQR PLZ, both seen at NAS Norfolk.

We're limited to 7 spaces in my state.

“In VA your license plate is required on front and back, think about how this would look in a rear view mirror.”

AINIGRIV ? Phonetically A-”n-word”-IV?

[CharlesWayneCT]

Probably not. It’s just that the program they use to figure out what is OK wouldn’t think to check the letters requested against the background.

If someone took that picture and sent it to the DMV, my guess is that the plate would be recalled.

Yes, people think the license plates should be a free speech issue, but they are issued by the state, so they are not.

If you want the word “TITMAN” on the back of your car, there is nothing to keep you from getting a bumper sticker.

“I told the lady, ‘That is my name,’ and she said they “didn’t pay attention” to that,” Titman said.

The best vanity plate I’ve seen on a VW Bug was “FEATURE”. Of course you kinda have to be a little geeky to get it.
