Vanity plates on cars can be either a delightful enigma or a display of rather pedestrian, no-imagination-at-all exercise in 'why did they even bother?'

We've all seen the sorta witty ones, such as 'CAR 4 DAN', 'SEEYA', or 'SUSANS' and perhaps yawned mightily, I'm sure.

But what about the REALLY clever ones that show a bit of real wit and cleverness? I'd be interested in hearing about any on 914s that you out there that have observed while passing on the streets or highway. (Or at least those that after a short bit of reflection, can be decoded?).

Some of my past 914 plates include the following: '6FAHRER' on my 1970 914-6; 'PUTSCHE' on previous 914-4 (and resurrected again on 'Jezibel'); 'F106A' to celebrate the planes we used to fly as USAFers (5th FIS, mid-60s); 'POORSHE' on someone else's 914 I spotted; '911CUZ'; VDUB914'; 'NEIN14' (on a 911); and on a Datsun 240Z I had at one time, 'BOOJWAZ'.

Surely you've all seem some really good ones, and here's chance to share those with us, as the Lunar Dragon Year descends upon us, bringing either catastrophe or extreme good fortune (Dragon Years are liable to go either way, according to the sagesse ancestrale...)

And although it wasn't on a license plate, I once spotted this chucklesome inscription on the back of 914, in the People's Republic of Berzerkeley: "Two-thirds of BMW is BM..."

Gong Hay Fat Choy!
