I get a lot of honks and waves for mine.

My 1955 Packard Patrician (next to the last year they made Packards). The NV personal plate WHOWNS1 derives from Packard's advertising slogan: "Ask the man who owns one." A good friend in Tucson, AZ has OWNSONE on his 1955 Packard 400.

I got the best CT plate.

HUSKYS

 

[Bliss]

Before I switched to a historical plate on my '79 Vette the personalized plate was FLY 66 because old route 66 and Vettes just naturally belong together. I think, though, that my supercharged black Monte has the definitive plate, CRUUSN, because we love "blue" highways.

Not mine but I was a fan.

Then, there was the big brown Bentley, probably a model from the 1950's, that I used to see around Noank, CT once in a while.

All the plate said was QE 3

I remember that one. He never pulled up in front of my shop....

I once saw a Bentley at RLCC with a lic plate that read 1 of 2 and I assume the other said 2 of 2 !!!

Not a license plate, but a similar idea ... After the Niners walloped the Broncos by 55-10 in SuperBowl XXIV, many folks in Colorado took to defacing speed limit signs: Speed Limit 55, Broncos 10.

I enjoy some of these plates. But some I have to struggle to figure out and in real life would probably not get it before the car was gone! (I still don't get rwsleep's)
Too bad some folks pay for very clever personalized plates and then the general public (slow folks like me) don't get it! But maybe they wanted an inside joke...

My wife's previous plate: KITTENZ
My wife's current plate: CRPD1EM

Local Urologist's plate: TOPCME (TO P C ME)

NCC 1701 was the designation of the star ship Enterprise of Star Trek fame.

[Intpseeker]

I was issued a standard plate for a new car and paid it no attention, but when my kids mentioned that people were blessing themselves and making signs t0 ward off the evil eye, I noted that it read 666xxx

 

[~*Jen*~]

When I lived in Alabama, I had one. It was a Saturn V plate that read GOHUSKZ. Now that I'm in Iowa, I don't have one. 1, Car registration is more expensive here and 2, No matter what I get, I'm stuck with a freaking ugly silo in it and I just can't will myself to pay more for the same plate but with different lettering. (No joke, I paid $100 more a year for two cars with normal plates than I did in Alabama for two cars with Saturn V plates and those had a $50 annual surcharge on them.)

If I could get a UConn or Michigan plate, I might go for it but I don't see that happening...

 

[Sargassoc]

I'm particularly enamored of my own vanity plate:

My friend's plate reads 6669....are you both members of the same group?

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

I didn't get vanity plates until we moved out here, but we were not very creative. "GO R U" on the car honors our Rutgers fandom, while "AMYDOUG" on our Ford Ranger is just our names.

The thing is, they are not terribly expensive out here, and actually there is a plethora of different plates to choose from. In the end, I stayed with standard plates, just the custom letters. I briefly thought of getting a U of A plate with the "GO R U" lettering, but it is much easier to stick with what you have. Plus, last I looked, the UofA plates were not very attractive.

 

[Aluminny69]

Which boneyarder owns this plate?

 

[Aluminny69]

This could be several boneyarders (including me)

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

My special plate is: RSHERM. (I did it to help me remember who I am.)
And when I was teaching/coaching my friends every once in a while would tape over the H to make RSPERM! After the 1st or 2nd time it was funny, but after the 25th time it got old real quick!
