I saw an Aston Martin in Minneapolis, MN, with the plate "ASTON."

First and only thought: "what a giant douche."

I occasionally drive by someone on the way home from work with the tag STFU&DRV. Not sure how that one got by. I've been trying to get pics of it. It's in Apex NC.

I believe I have a picture of a dark gray Nissan Pathfinder with that plate eastbound on I-40 in eastern NC.

I've taken some empirical data and have come to the conclusion that there is a direct correlation between people with vanity license plates and overall douchebaggery and bad drivery.

Also in my studies - discovery of the word drivery.

Which makes you wonder if you could get DHITB or other stuff through.

my friend got his motorcycle plate through as "WETOD" telling them that he rides whether it is wet or dry. after the first renewal they pulled the plate and made him choose a new one lol

You pretty much have to be an idiot to get a vanity plate, right along the lines with truck nuts.

For the latter, I don't care how much of a red neck you are... come on give me a break.

Other than the fact that you may think the people are vain (duh!), why?

Since I cannot stop being such an idiot (just ask my wife), why don't you, Leros, clearly a non-idiot, explain it to me.

I race a guy on the local highway here occasionally in 350Z with the plate PWN3D. He is a chicken, and should have that one taken away for fail.

My old plate was SIRREAL.

In IL I saw, WWSD666

Best plate EVAR! NE 1469

That's it. I know it's a Pathfinder.

There are alot of red light cameras here, and knew instantly what it was about =]

Bwahaha! I wonder if that would work for the license plate tolls.
