Personalized license plates, aka "vanity plates" are incredibly cheap in Virginia--just $25 when you renew your plate or sticker, which isn't that often or that much either. I have said ever since I moved here that since they're so cheap, anyone not having them is either lazy or suffers from a lack of imagination.
Mine says GYPC QN, which is a play on a comment someone made many years ago on one of my favorite pictures of me, that it "looked like an Appalachian gypsy queen." Husband's is EADGBE, the tuning sequence for a six-string guitar. I've seen some that are very creative and some that just make me wonder. I saw one at the shelter that said GOODOG and another one that said HEEL. And I haven't figured out whether it's our manager or the vet that comes in, both of South Asian extraction, who has the plate that reads BIRYANI. I had a car pass me once on the interstate with a plate that said WHOOSH and another one I gave a wide berth to because their plate said KNIVES. And there's a little blue Smart car that tools around town with one that says TARDIS 2.
Anyone got some to add?
