What license plates have you seen that made you embarrassed for the owner?

Most personalized plates that aren't their name or the year and model of the car. There are some clever ones out there but most are pretty lame.

There is an Audi S5 at work with the owner's name on the plate. And a M3 license plate frame.

No SR20, saw a Cadillac SRX with "Trophy wife" or something equivalent. driven by somebody, you wouldn't exactly consider to be one, if you know what I mean... Western PA is weird I tell you.

So pretty accurate then, I guess.

ITSLRGE found on a lifted brodozer. SM3GMA no need to explain this one. Thanks for making me curious enough to google my state, Jesus people are retarded in AZ. My personal favorites are insane religious and/or aggressively jingoistic tailgate wraps.

My old mustang's plates said Daphne, plates came with the car, became the cars name, at least that is what I called it, everyone else used a nsfw name of bloody tampon, white convertible with red/burgundy interior...

My dad's plate on his 5.0 is "5.GEAUX" (we're big LSU fans and he lives in Baton Rouge). I think its great, but I will let you all decide.

I don't have pics (so yeah, didn't happen, I know), but some winners around Central NH include:
ALSWIFE - nice to have your own identity, isn't it?
NIXCHIK - ... worse?!
TH3BOSS - this, on a (roughly) 2004 Cobalt with pink zebra striped seat covers - front AND back. Pretty sure the driver is no one's boss.
TOOSLW - owner explained this one, on a 1995 Porsche 911. He said, when I pass someone they can see that they were "too slow." Oh I see. Nice car though.
SKIDOIN - yes, that's what you're "doin," you have a Ski-Doo and you ride it. I get it.
WVM3 - on an M3 whose owner lives in a town called Waterville Valley. WV. Clever.
LIN-Z - I actually know this girl and she's nice. But come on.
A local couple: SALTLFE AND SLTLIFE. Ok Salt Life; you must either like the ocean or else the company that makes every cheesy thing with that Salt Life logo like the NO FEAR craze of the 90's. Then the second plate: don't tell me you didn't see "slutlife."
KATY-1 AND KATY-2 - Parents of a terrible spoiled child (can you guess the name?)
I've seen a New Jersey with BBYGSUS around town lately. ugh.
LVONCE - A little context: I'm guessing it's like, "hey you only live once so buy a nice car" but it was on a white camry. BUT I think it was originally on a Z3, but they transferred it to another car so they didn't "lose" the plate (NH is funny that way) and then later transferred it back to another, more interesting car than the Camry.
YW84IT - This, on an Audi A6, owned by a 70+ yr-old man. I mean, if you're a 23 yr-old self-made billionaire (and also a douche), you put that on your Ferarri and promptly crash it. But really?
My local favorite is the various misspellings of a local lake, named Squam. Of course there are a few actual SQUAM plates, one of which is on an antique plate on a classic 60's Corvette. He wins. Losers include: SQAUM, SGUAM, SQUAWM, MAUQS, SQUAMZ, and SQUAM1 SQUAM2... through 9. Why?
Oh, there are SO many more terrible plates around here I'll think of more I'm sure.

I at my old work there used to be a LT1 C4 corvette with a plate of PETAQ and I have yet to figure what it means.

They provide high-tech gadgets to the spy branch of PETA? I've got nothing.

Seen around my town:
Linolcn Navigator- "PROFIT". Nice. Not enough profit to afford a Range Rover, eh?
Mazda6- "IPMS247". I can't believe they got that.
BMW E60 5-Series- "L82CORT". Of course you are.
Lifted Ram brodozer- "RAMMIT" Yeah, okay. Goes with your "Dodge the dad, Ram the daughter" sticker.
Smart- "IM SMART", "EINSTYN", "SPR SMRT", "R THNU". Also, a bunch of small related plates like "TINYCAR" and my neighbor, "BABYBNZ"
Porsche Boxter- "2TH DOC". You're not helping any stereotypes.
I'm sure there's more.

Why do Vipers always have custom plates?
I spotted this one a few years ago at the Dream Cruise.

Just remembered NOFUELN on a prius. Must feel pretty dumb when you put fuel in it on a regular basis...
