LOL! Some of those plates are funny, others not so. The first time I went to our Texas office in 2010, I was greeted by a guy driving a giant pickup truck that had something about executing a certain group of people painted on the body of the truck. The way it was written was meant to be as highly offensive as possible. I of course took a pic, and my colleagues in San Antonio were profusely apologizing, assuring me that this person was probably from one of the smaller towns outside of San Antonio. What he painted on his truck wouldn't fit on a license plate for sure!

I didn't have time to go down the entire list, but IMHO, many, if not most, of those that I saw were rejected for good reason.

And, not only that, but the moderators here on CL would probably delete any posts that contained terms or suggestions like that.

Oh definitely. You tell a little about about people (or at least what they are trying to project) by their vanity plates, and by decals/writing on their windshields etc. There is a guy who lives near me, I run into him occasionally going home who has an M16 and bullet holes painted on his windshield and body. Also painted is "No Free Rides" with an explicit painting of two stick figures...one bending over. Not someone I would want to run into if they are in a bad mood

The story goes (though I never actually saw the plate myself) that Marion Barry, the late Mayor and City-Councilman of D.C., once had a license plate on his limo that said........."I MADE IT".

(He served six months in the old Lorton Reformatory for drug-possession)

Personally Im impressed at the creativity. I have thought about a vanity plate many times but I have absolutely no imagination. You should have seen me trying to name my companies!

Then may I suggest one for you? Judging by your number of posts (47,000+).............I'd suggest ILIKECL.
