DTH STR and B*GLTCA: 25 great sci-fi license plates
Want to show off your sci-fi love, but don't want to get a tattoo like the hardcore fans we showed you last week? Then a vanity license plate is definitely the way to go—and it's a heck of a lot less painful, too!
Check out the 25 autos below that proclaim their owners' love for Star Trek, Star Wars, The X-Files and more. (And a big shout out to waiting line, whose massive flickr collection of vanity plates of all kinds provided leads on many of these.)

At the Ohio Comic Con many years ago I say a sports car (I'm not a car buff and I can't remember what it was, but is was definitely fast) that had the plate: BAM POW.
I've always told my husband that if we ever end up with a minivan (hasn't happened yet!) that I'm going to put on it MOMS FTL just for the irony.

@truthbetold -- yeah, that's a good use of your licensing fees.
Just put a "Real Men don't Sparkle" bumper sticker on your car. At least you can take that off when you find something new to whine about.
I'm all for dissing Twilight, but can we please just channel all of the hate into something constructive? Sit down and talk to one of the enthralled. Maybe you can make a difference. Just please stop whining like the 12-year-olds you are making fun of.

At Ohio-State there are two Isuzu SUV's, one black and one red that have dueling plates...OSU SITH and OSU JEDI. They had an article in the paper about it because the guys didn't know each other and OSU SITH was pissed because the plate he wanted, OSU JEDI, was taken. So he switched to the Dark Side and noe they park by each other all the time. Very corny, but still kinda funny.

Interesting that 6-7 of these plates are from Nebraska, like mine: "AERYN SN." Too bad the DMV of our state doesn't allow 8 characters with no space, or I could have spelled out her name completely!

My friend had a Plymouth Voyager mini-van that had the license plate V-Ger.

My license plate says ED 209 and my car is a Scion XB. Hardly anyone gets it though :(
By allofthemonkeys at 6:15 PM ON 11/23/09
That proves it. The most losers live in Nebraska, and I thought Kansas was bad.
By MadEyeMarky at 10:26 PM ON 11/23/09
My buddy chris has a plate that reads: IMSCIFI
if i ever get a car i want a plate that reads: HJGL2814 for those of you who dont know, it would stand for Hal Jordan Green Lantern of Sector 2814 =)

Just today I was passed by a DeLorean with the license plate OUTATYM. Very fun!
I managed to snag FIAWOL for my car a few years ago, which made me very happy.

One day I saw one that was NCC 1701 on an old p.o.s. car and I know a guy who has ATOM SUR on his car which is green.

Vanity plates are for knobs.

I've got a double wammy: My plate is S-117 with a license plate frame that says: A leaf on the Wind; Wash is my copilot. This is on a Mini Clubman JCW. A lot of people get the frame but I always get questions on the plate.
By BrianaMJ at 9:18 AM ON 11/24/09
I once pulled up behind a car with the plate ROLLD20. They also had a D20 sticker next to the plate.

Most people are confused....

Why is it that people can notice that you are reading their license plate? .
By jvc920 at 1:27 AM ON 11/25/09
I have Virginia plate
JEDI MST
I get people taking pictures of it all the time mostly while on the road see them taking picture with thier cell phones.
By Mysti at 11:21 AM ON 11/29/09
Like FIAWOL (Fandom is a Way of Life, for the person who didn't know), my plate I've had for nearly 10 years gives my passion:
ZINES
And if you don't know what those are, check out our website at www.agentwithstyle.com. :-)

At a sci-fi convention a few years ago (Marcon, IIRC), there was a white minivan with the plate SPACE. It was a 2001 Honda Odyssey. A 2001 SPACE Odyssey.
