World Peace and Quiet

I keep trying to come up with a topic worthy of the mashup title but will settle for amusing license plates I've seen around town. All on big SUVs, which is only informative for one of them.

I'm the kind of person who will likely never have a vanity plate because (1) I'm not sufficiently decisive (2) I don't want to make my car stand out in way that could get it keyed or me less sympathy when pulled over and (3) I'm not clever with those things. I do better on the appreciation end of the equation. Plus, I keep getting decent off the rack plates. Some people even thought my last plate was a vanity plate.

As to my current plate, it's a small town. The other day I was stopped a light and the car in front of me shared the first 4 digits (they were 52 people ahead of me in line I guess) and the car next to me shared the last 3 digits.

Have you seen any good vanity plates lately? Or come up with a great word for a tricky 3 letter combo?

I have found the best vanity plates locally on new VW bugs. There must be a web site out there somewhere for proud bug owners. Recent ones were:

CUTEASA
SPLAT A
GROOVY (or other 60s references)

Eye doctors come in second. They can do lots of nifty things with the letter "C".
