Personalized plates are just another way of others knowing it's your car...not so much of an issue unless you are like me and trying to a.avoid the police as much as possible and/or b.don't want everyone who knows you to know where you are all the damn time.

that being said here are a few plates I have seen lately
Mufdivr (friend of mine is on underwater s&r with me)
Luv2Ram (purple dodge ram I saw on my way to work)
3at m3 (in your mirror it says eat me)
WTFOVR (I was in nebraska and it was some big pickup)
sucess2 (on a mercury topaz which I found kind of strange)
Schnell (german for fast on an M coupe I used to race with)

I've got a personalized plate. Of course, when I post pics, I always cover the plate because there are a lotta creeps online. (not here, probably, but you never know).
I don't like the cutesy hidden meaning plates because then you gotta live with them for awhile...
like "GRLPWR" would get old after awhile...

And to Michelle and Supergreg, are you planning on driving an X5 for the rest of your life?

I used to have my initials.. ditched it. Too easy for people to remember, and I didn't really like driving around with my initials on my license plate. Plus, the standard-issue all number NH license plate I wound up with is cool. I like my combo for various reasons.

Back in the '80s I used to see an old Porsche turbo running around my area and the plate was "WMWMWM" or something to that effect which was I guess to confuse the fuzz at high speeds.

I've seen a red E46 M3 with Mass plates with something like that. MWMWMW or something.
