(put commas and decimal points wherever) 2) part of their VIN? 3) Hurley's winning lottery number on "Lost"?

Best plate I've seen, and it's for real, found in Redwood City, CA: I(heart)TWATS Too bad I didn't have my digicam on me! No idea how that got past the censors...

OPEC NO and OPECBAH are no longer available in CA. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(XGasGuzzler @ May 2 2006, 01:05 PM) [snapback]248687[/snapback]</div> If you use three "X"s, you'll have no space between "XXXL" and "MPG". I'd rather do "XXL MPG" to have a space.
I read XXL MPG as 30 MPG written in Roman numerals. The correct way to write 30 would be XXX but using XXL if perfectly intelligible as 30. It's a smaller error than using there for their.
It's not Roman Numerals, it's a pun on clothes sizes, XXL meaning "extra extra large" (or what I wear ). If it were Roman Numerals then it would be something like "LV MPG", which I guess you could take as either "55 MPG" or "Love MPG", either of which would be ok.
I figured that. My point was that a good share of the motoring population will take it to be Roman numerals, the more astute ones realizing it was incorrectly written but still fully intelligible Roman numerals.
