That's why you see so many here. I never believed I'd buy vanity plates, but a few years ago was inspired by a plate from California I saw that perfectly fit one of my vehicles and my love of numbers.

He says he got it by the MVA by claiming it was short for "little scarecrow." Now, why he'd want that on his plate, I do not know, that damned, elusive LILSCRO.

Regarding year, you can't put a plate on a car that would imply the car is newer than it is, but you can put a much older plate on a newer car.

I think they're frightfully expensive. I suggest 'I KILL YOU' or 'UR DEAD SOON' in order to highlight the danger of driving. we have vanity plates in Denmark, but they’re rare.

In Texas, you only get a total of 6 letters and numbers, and there's not much you can do with that.
