Synopsis
A collection of the best and the very, very worst of the outrageous, cunning, sweet and silly messages on US license plates. Americans in all states -- perhaps as many as 20 million -- have personalised or 'vanity' license plates. The types of messages vary from comments on one's car (AWESOME, WHOOSH, GASHOG), to hard luck stories (IBLUIT). People state their professions (I FLOSS, LOC DOC) and their interests (LUV2BET, SKIH20). They court each other (HOT4YOU, NOTWED) and warn each other (NVR AGN, O NOOOO, XQQZME). They glorify their animals (CATLUVR, PENGWEN). They pray (ELOHIM, PRAZHM), and they brag (GR8 MOM, A1 WIFE).
