Personalised numberplates

I also thought having a Mercedes with the numberplate "MERC", or a BMW with "BIMMER" simply advertised the owner's lack of imagination.

In Sydney, there was a Rolls with "4MYEGO"...clever.
My BMW 635 is "BFI09"...a little more obscure. (ME 109 was taken)
Melbourne has a Prius with "SMUG"........accurate.
A BMW 5 series "PANZER" frequents the school pick up near my house.

Any other clever / witty / cryptic number plates ??

I saw a DB7 in Beverly Hills once with the plate "SLVRSPN"

There's a Honda Insight down the block from my house with "NOMOOIL"

Ex girlfriend had a Nissan Maxima with RUMAXED2. I know, it doesn't make much sense. Illinois has a lot of vanity plates. I don't know if they're cheap there or what.

I think it was the mid 80's, but I remember my dad pointing out a delorian on Kanaan with the plate NOPAINT.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
