Notice any license plate ... oddities?
We've seen witty/interesting license plates, such as these in IL:
BMW AT 40, Pontiac Grand Am
TUTH D K, Honda Civic coupe
...BUT ... have you noticed any plate ... ODDITIES?
One morning on the way to work, I happened to glance in my rear-view mirror ... and thought I saw the word "S E X" on a license plate. As I waited to turn left off Route 58 onto Barrington Rd, the vehicle went past ... and I looked at the rear license plate ... and noticed that it was a generic IL plate that had "X35" as the first 3 characters. Wonder how THAT got past the IL sensors...?!!

LOL! Probably because nobody bothered to see what it might look like when looking at it via a rearview mirror.....
Just another reason IL shouldn't have front license plates ... he he.

Here in Ontario it takes 8 weeks to get a personal plate. And they ask you what your plate means when you apply for it.
During the 8 weeks, a panel of employees (don't know how many), scrutinizes each personal plate. Reading them backwards is one of them.
I don't know how X35 got by. But kudos to the owner of the plate!

i saw one the other day (yesterday? day before? ehh don't remember....) that was 800 85x. in RI you can only have up to 6 characters on your plate. up till about a year or two ago, if you didn't want a vanity/custom plate you just got one like RA 645. always two random letters then three random numbers. i guess they ran out of combos because they've started using 6 numbers, and they have it split up into two little groups of threes. so i didn't notice the 800 85x until after sitting behind it at a light for a couple minutes. i did chuckle at it.

"fastpup" on a cobalt ss and "bkinblk" on a blacked out pontiac grand prix.

Can't think of any off hand that I've seen... Lately short and long term memory have both gone on the fritz.... Wait, what was I saying??? Huh? Where am I? Why are you stareing at me??? 
Anyhow, I did find this site awhile back that people send in the ones they've seen or have.
