I don't quite understand the point of forking over more money than the government demands of you, just to get a 'personalized' number-plate. Is it an ego thing? Next question, if it is, is that a good thing or bad? Anyway, my number-plate is already personalized, in as much as mine is the only one having that particular random assortment of letters, numbers, fixing hardware and squashed insects. I only wish I could remember it for when I am quizzed by the Copstopo and don't wish to appear shifty.

I did have one once many years ago when I was in the Marine Corps stationed at Camp LeJuene, North Carolina. Have you ever had one?
An odd story on this topic. When I read someone's personalized license plate that's in some type of code or an inside joke that I can't decipher, I sometimes ask them what it means. I was at a gas station once and got into a conversation with a guy about his plates. A woman at the next pumped chimed in that she was 100% opposed to having a personalized license plate because when she had had one previously, she didn't like the fact that wherever she went, everyone knew her first name. I said to myself, "Gee, lady, it's not that difficult to figure out; your name isn't the only thing that you have to put or can put on a personalized plate . . . "
No, I’ve never had one. Do you mean you had one to do with being in the Marines or a vanity plate?

No. But a relative was a nun. Apparently someone at the DMV had a fondness for nuns. When I went to her mother's funeral which was heavily attended by nuns, the parking lot was full of cars with license plates having the letters AVE before the numbers.
