In the UK there's a market and a good personalized plate can cost a lot of money. The "best" ones sold are auctioned off by the licensing agency. The plates can be re-sold and there are companies that buy and re-sell them. Official site: DVLA Personalised Registrations - Buy private number plates direct from the DVLA. From £255 fully inclusive Their auctions page: Next Sale An example of a company trading in vanity plates: New Reg are cheapest for DVLA Number Plates When I moved here (Maine, USA) I was absolutely stunned to find that the USA doesn't have an open market in vanity plates.
Love my 2010 Gen3. I had to laugh a bit when I went for a vanity plate and saw the clerk get suspicious.. She asked me to explain exactly what FUN MPG means ? I told her it is a great fun little car to drive and it gets great MPG !! That seemed to satify her suspicions. She said someone is always trying to sneak something obscene past them and they are always suspicious of any that start with the letters F U. ;-).
Driving your Prius more carelessly may help you get the FE down from the mid-50 MPG range, to around 50.
I like the Rocky and Bullwinkle one! New York doesn't allow symbols on vanity plates, just letters, numbers, and spaces.
Both of them are mine: the black one, wasn't even three months old, drowned in Sandy....was waiting to be towed away
Right, only I live in Maine, and we had our 'R's confiscated long ago after the misuse of them at the end of 'idea'.
I heard of a Urologist having a license plate that read: 2PCME Don't think about it; just read it outloud.
To prove how much a nerd gamer I was at the time, when I bought my 2001 Vette I had IDDQD on it. IDKFA was taken
