 Ken, a loyal platenuts.com reader was eating at Famous Dave’s  at the Arrowhead shopping center in Glendale happened to snap a quick shot of this Scion xB custom license plate.

 I know that the owner was probably going for the whole “I am driving a  hot little box looking car” theme here but one can’t help wonder if they came up with that to just throw you off.  Ah-ha! 

I suspect red eyes, empty cigar wrappers and munchies may have been the motivation behind this license plate.

Thanks again Ken for sending this in.

 As many of you already know, some of these vanity license plates are submitted by readers of this site.  This is a user submission and his DMV “oops” moment.  He drives a 2005 Ford F-250 and just got these big metal swangers in.

I’m not a personal fan of being behind a big ass truck with swangin’ balls in my face, especially since I drive a 350z and sometimes they are practically sitting on my hood if I am in traffic.  I guess there is something out there for everyone.  The part that amazed me is that they had almost every color of veiny anatomically correct balls available for your ride-black balls, brown balls, white balls even the infamous  blue balls.  You won’t find a better example of platenuts than this.

This reader was excited to get this photo to us for the whole world to see.  Here is a bit from out conversation about his custom license plate.

Reader:   “This one slipped through the dmv also.  Going to pick them up next week. DMV is closed on the weekend here, and I was out of town when the “ready to pick up notice” came in the mail. I will send pictures when I get them, and this is what it says: “Doo Dads”.  The really funny thing is that they are going on my truck, and I am going to have a pair of BIG metal doo dads hanging from the trailer hitch…LOL LOL LOL.”

Could you imagine seeing this?

With Florida having over 100 vanity license plate options, you can choose from the confederate Klan friendly to the “one and done” championship season with the now defunct Miami Heat.  Florida Legislature is proposing a new type of personalized license plate.  This could be, if passed, the first custom license plate ever to feature a religous cross.

Now let the persecution begin.  It will be an uphill battle to pass this law granting Floridians the ability to get this vanity license plate.  Sides have already started in opposition to this custom license plate saying it’s a violation of seperation of church and state since it would be produced by the State of Florida.

Rep. Edward Bullard, the plate’s sponsor, said people who “believe in their college or university” or “believe in their football team” already have license plates they can buy. The new design is a chance for others to put a tag on their cars with “something they believe in,” he said.

Well if that’s the case Eddie, wouldn’t you have to have a Star of David vanity license plate too?  What about a vanity license plate for our Muslim citizens?  You can’t leave out the large Mormon population we have in American too.   I am sure an argument could be made for a Satanic group too that has a different set of beliefs.  Could you imaging a how cool it would be to own a “Heaven’s Gate” vanity license plate?

I Believe-the bill supporting this custom license plate will be crusified. 

Last night the Phoenix Suns faced the desperate Golden State Warriors.  With the Warriors playoff hopes on the line the Suns held the key to the remainder of Baron Davis’ and the Warriors hopes for a playoff appearance.

Though behind at half time the Warriors sporadically showed signs of life in the game establishing a second half lead hoping to get passed the Phoenix Suns. With Davis shooting only 2 for 13 he was benched the remainder of the half as the Warriors couldn’t stop the Big Cactus and Amare Stoudamire.  The Phoenix Suns pulled away victorious and I was left with this nice treat at the end of the game.  As they scanned the crowd, I had to pause my DVR to bring this guy to you. 

Here’s to you Mr. Phoenix Suns Custom License Plate man!

  Darren Rowse of problogger.net declared today to be the first unofficial Blogger Appreciation Day.  In a nutshell, today is a day in which we bloggers take the time to thank someone from our own blogging community and show our appreciation.  Many of us bloggers work behind the scenes with other bloggers for content, advise, creative ideas, layout and sometimes just a fresh outside perspective.

So Darren, thank you for your valuable information you provide on a daily basis.  You have been great help to both myself and others.

I’d also like to thank Matt aka “Blogmaster Fresh” from asusportsreport.com.  Matt has been my go-to guy for brainstorming ideas, content advise and anything else I have needed.  Plus, if you enjoy ASU Sports or pics of Matt Leinart living it up with young girls then check out his site.

This was submitted by a guy on one of my favorite Nissan 350Z sites- AZ350z.com.  Several Z owners participated in a forum call for the member’s vanity license plates.  Platenuts.com got some really good stuff over there and I will be posting the member’s personalized license plates from time to time.  It’s no secret that Z owners have been the pioneers and creative minds behind some of the most original custom license plates ever.

If you are a Z owner or just happen to love Nissan’s flagship 5th generation sports car then check out the az350z.com forums and also my350z.com for some of the coolest Nissan 350z’s around.

Bonus points on the smoked out lights.

With The Masters Tournament kicking off, I thought this golf loving custom license plate would be approporaiate.  All eyes are on Tiger Woods this year as he has declined to play in the Par 3 tournament in order to get prepared and stay focused on winning another Green Jacket.

I have seen quite a few golf fans boasting their loyalty to their sport through their personalized license plates but to date this is the only one I have captured on camera.

How did this manage to slip through the DMV?  Maybe things are a little more relaxed in Canada, eh.

WARNING:  IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS WORD MEANS DO NOT “GOOGLE” THIS SUBJECT AT WORK.  YOU WILL BE FIRED!

Many of you may have already seen this commercial.  Unfortunately, I just learned about it today.  This commercial is brilliant.  It takes you through the history of the Z car from

it’s  inception with the 150 hp 1969 240z through the 3.5 litre monster that exists today.  The story is told through generation after generation of Z lovers and their vanity license plates.
