apparently I deleted the photographic evidence, but my plate collector brother got personalized plates when he first bought his Volt.
Didn't renew them on his next birthday, now just a random assigned normal sequence plate.
We both have the Initials RE, and he was trying to tie it into the Volt... what he got was:
REVOLTN

Doug Demuro posted Porsche humor years ago on his blog. A guy had a 911 GT2 , which alot of people think are cheaper or slower than the GT3. The guys plate said "GT2NOT3". A Cadillac Deville in front of me a few years back had a plate that read "Trucks". Not sure what that was about. A husband and wife ob/gyn in Phoenix have stork 1 and stork 2 on their plates.
Might have been early 80s, but I saw a Caddy parked in San Francisco with "EATS GAS".
It's kind of an inside joke in my industry, but I saw one plate with "0WT ST". It's not an oil term, but "Zero wait state".

I guess 0WS was already taken.
States that allow 7.5 or 8 characters open up many
more possibilities than just 7. CA has over 2 million so it is difficult to get something unique with only 7.

Had a plate on my 3/4 T Suburban “OMNOMGAS”
Also had “VERYSMRT” on my highly modified smart car.
I remembered one more from a long time ago. The place I was working at shared the building with a physical therapy outfit attached to a local hospital that performed joint replacement. For a while there was a Lincoln Town Car using a handicapped spot with plates that read 'NO HIPS'.
"You got money for a custom plate, you got money for this ticket" embodied our logic for skipping vanity plates.
I debated getting vanity or the special charity plates which IL offers ($25 extra which goes to an organization) but I remember a quote from then governor Blago where he said that it was obvious that IL wasn't charging enough for plates if people were willing to pay extra for vanity/special plates. I didn't want him to get the wrong impression from me buying them so I passed...
