BDA BNG1 (Bada Bing!) is from platty. Bada bing is a phrase often used to imitate the sound of a drum roll and cymbal crash after a joke. Isn't that also the name of the strip club in the HBO series, the Sopranos? Yep.
Your vanity plate sucks, ZZZINNG! (Plate snapped by Candice).
And so do your stock choices! BOOOYAH! (From TheWordWire).

Nothing left to lose
Candice sent in PHREDUM. Yes, that is supposed to say "Freedom."
Maybe this driver was going for something like, "Free to be dumb?" Free to be dumb, as in, free to own an obnoxious yellow gas guzzling SUV with accompanying stupid vanity plate? I think that works better, don't you?

Do I really want to be a macho man?
ELMACHO (El macho) is from Tim B. "Macho," from the Spanish word "machismo," is prominently exhibited or excessive masculinity;
Prominently exhibited, excessively swinging balls, for example.
Okay, we get it. Now we are going to pull over to barf in a trashcan.

She's got more crabs than a Red Lobster
Nice parking job! Let's zoom on that plate a little, shall we?
Great. Now I can personalize my comment: Nice parking job, FLOOZI. According to Mariam-Webster, a floozy is a usually young woman of loose morals.
Amanda C. writes: Yeah, at first I figured some high-maintenance women drove this car. But then, a high-maintenance MAN walks over from the adjacent Qdoba and gets in. Then jumps the curb on the way out of the parking lot. All around classy.
I love it. Some people will do anything for a burrito.

Warning: Gas (For the next 100 miles)
Today's fresh, new, horrible license plate came from someone who didn't sign their name to their email (so if you took this photo, let me know) **EDIT: It's from Tim B!** STINKY, as in, you smell bad. In my mind, I imagine this is the Colorado DMV trying to play a trick on a gullible driver:
DMV Employee: Sir, I assure you. This is a randomized plate.
Man: Are you sure? I think that says "stinky."
DMV Employee: I'm not sure what you are talking about. The computer chooses the plates.
Man: *sigh* Whatever. [walks away with plate in hand]
DMV employee [whispers to himself]: I can't believe that actually worked. You are a god.

What do you call the horse than lives next door? A NEIGHbor!
You asked for it. TRBL (Trouble) was snapped by Heather A. I think the trouble here is you drive a convertible in Maine (and it's dirty).
Wendy K. captured WOAHRSY (Woah Horsie) for us. Get it? It's a Mustang, which is also a wild horse. Hardy har HAR.

Who Doesn't?
I H8 PMS came from Alison B. Obviously, this driver has a problem with PMS. My response to that would be that, yes, most women do hate PMS. But the most important point here is: Most women don't pay extra to express their mensuration problems on their Corvettes.
Robert W sent in PMS-727 with this note: Personalized? Who knows. Unfortunate - yes!
PMS - 7 days a week, 27 hours a day.
A previous public menstruation lover, for your enjoyment.

I'm a hustler baby
Lisa D. captured this lovely photo of WHORYOU, which I know is supposed to mean "Who are you?" but doesn't it look like something else (whore you)? Lisa helps out with the plausible second meaning of this plate:
...and WHORYOU? I was thankful it wasn't YOUWHOR.

Pessimism FTL

PESIMSM (Pessimism) never works man. The worst is yet to come. Optimism?! Like that does any good. The light at the end of the tunnel? A speeding train headed my way. My blood type? B negative. The pessimism meeting tonight? Cancelled. No one would come anyway.
So just remember, if everything is coming your way, you're probably in the wrong lane.

For you and you, but not you
Now that Halloween is over, let's get right with the Lord.
GODIS4U (God is for you?) comes to us from Wendy K. This plate is just dumb. I'm sorry.
Although, I guess it could be "Goddess For You."
But that is still stupid.

What wouldn't he do?
Jamie M. sends us HEYWWJD (Hey, what would Jesus Do?). I like the aggressiveness of this plate. It's like, HEY, DO WHAT I TELL YOU, OR ELSE (in the name of the Lord).

GE ZUS save me from misspellings
Welcome to Lovin' the Lord Sunday! Hannah writes to us: This isn't especially creepy, but the spelling is brilliant!
GE-ZUS take the wheel.
I don't know if "brilliant" would be the word I would use to describe this one. I wonder what THE GRAMMARPHILE would think about this one? Hmm?

Would You Like Some Sheesh With That Whine?
Marisa M. wrote this most humorous email to us:
I was in Colorado Springs recently on business, toodling down the highway in my rental car lost as usual when this green car revved past me and cut me off. Guess I wasn't going fast enough for him. When I saw the plate, I went from pissed to laughing, since it seemed custom made just for that moment--SHEEESH you tourist drivers are so damn slow!
Vanity plates are not a free ticket jerk-land people!
