It won't load for me. I did see a rather nice 124 diesel at work with the tag "BIOBENZ". I talked with the owner briefly about biofuels and the availability of 124 parts in the yard.

I saw a 300D once with a plate reading "FRYOIL" guess what is smelled like?

The other day when I was driving through Rhode Island a 3-Series BMW zoomed by me, the plate read "Snell"

I wish I could get custom specialty plates in GA... You can only have custom plates if you have a plain regular plate, not if you want classic car plates...

Tons from here in Va, where personalized plates are cheap and plentiful.
Mine are PF MAG1C, PFM RCNG, 85 W123, and GT 4 DEB.

Here in Nevada you can get special plates denoting that the owner is a veteran. They even have one specifically for Seabees. One of the EO's in my reserve unit is thinking of getting a Seabee vet plate with EOCB on it.

I used to have "78 SLC" but when it was time to get a new tag, I opted for the antique tag as I didnt want my new vanity tag to be in the new Florida "double orange" base plate (they are goddamn ugly). . .

Saw a very attractive blonde in a Corvette back in the early 90's in CT and the plate was "wet yet" RT

Guy around here has "CVA59ER" on his pickup.
For the uninformed, CVA 59 was the ship designation of the USS Forrestall.

A guy in my M/C club has "SEE YA" on his Harley.
I told him I want it if he ever gives it up.

One of my all-time favorites was a guy with an H1, and his plate was "GIVE ME A" ... wish I could find the picture. For those of you who don't get it, Hummers have "Hummer" written right under the license plate.
