    Ford GT Wears Entirely Appropriate Vanity Plate

    At one point in my past, I designed and proved-out the production line that built the Ford GT's giant throttle body. I still have two copies, so I'm something of a fan-boy. Thus, I agree with this guy's sentiment. More »

    Scottie Roberson's nickname is "Racer X" so he secured the license plate "XXXXXXX" for his truck. Unfortunately, the plate and a glitch in a parking ticket system led to him receiving $19,000 in erroneous tickets (H/T to Tempesjo!) [Blog.Al.Com]

    Bentley Driver Tells Us How They Really Feel

    There's no questioning the fact that many people were affected by Bernie Madoff's nice little ponzi scheme, but this particular Bentley Continental GTC owner felt the need to share his feelings with the world. (H/T To Todd!)

    Best. Vanity License Plate. Ever.

    Today's hilariously inappropriate vanity license plate comes from the great State of California and one person who likes... well... just add an "I," a "U" and a dirty mind. NSFW. (H/T to Jeff) [Motive]

    Colorado DMV Hates Tofu, Loves Vagina

    Apparently the folks on high-alert for smut at the Colorado DMV who nixed the vanity plate "ILVTOFU" for its possibly vulgar connotations completely fell asleep on the job when "ILVGINA" came through the system. More »

    FedEx Vanity Plate Cries Out For Mercy From New York Parking Enforcers

    Spotted in New York, we think this particular FedEx truck's license plate is indicative of a driver tired of the $8.3 million in parking tickets company trucks rack up in the city each year. More »

    Colorado DMV Misinterprets Tofu-loving Vegan Vanity Plate

    The Colorado DMV appears to have misinterpreted a seemingly harmless vanity plate request from a proud vegan driver. That is, unless you have a filthy mind like ours. More »

    Chok Em!

    What's more bizarre? The idea of someone buying a license plate encouraging the choking of someone, or that this Hawaiian license plate is on a Nissan Titan parked in front of a Physician Center? [Natuba]

    Top Gear Fan Pays $19,358 For "Stig" License Plate

    You've got to be creative to see "The Stig" in it, but a license plate reading "THE 571G" went to a fan of UK driving show Top Gear at a DVLA auction in the UK for a price of just under $20,000 (£10,690). The UK motoring site Pistonheads claims the winning buyer was Rick Fusari, owner of the Greenford Motors car dealership in West London. Fusari snagged the plate from 11 other Top Gear fan-boys bidding on the vanity plate and now has the dilemma on which of his two Ferraris to place the plate. Either way, we're hoping he doesn't buy a white helmet to go along with it.
