Bite me!
Heidi sent in this Jaguar's vanity plate which reads: VETS CAT. I assume the "vet" reference is there because you are a veterinarian. And a jaguar is a big cat. It also happens to be a line of luxury vehicles. So punny. Who needs a real cat when they...

Cranial rectal inversion
Ben B. snapped this photo of BUTTHED (I am also trying to figure out what shadow puppet you are displaying to the left there). I am assuming this means butt head, but for the life of me, I can't possibly think of why you'd want that on a license pla...

Because we're too cool to say "legitimate"
So I guess there are at least 2 MC Hammer fans out there bold enough to state so on their license plates (see previously: E=MC (Hammer)). Amanda sent in 2 LEGIT. For those of you who need the explanation, Too Legit To Quit was the smash hit by MC Ha...

Rawr?
BUTZILA comes to us from Christina S. I've heard of a Bridezilla before, but never a Buttzilla. In my mind I imagined two giant prehistoric butt cheeks with tiny claws protruding from them, knocking over buildings and farting atomic fire. Um... awes...
