Last week we posted an epic license plate and asked for more, and you guys responded in force. We've added four new plates to our gallery, which you can browse below. My favorite is seen above -- Jeff N. actually took a picture of it at BlizzCon. It's not his car, but it is a pretty awesome plate.
The Hawaiians plate comes from Leialoha B., who gave the plate as a Christmas gift to her guildies in Hawaiians on Thaurissian, and the "MPG FTW" (which isn't really WoW-related, unless there's an "MPG" acronym we're not thinking of in the game ("Mana per gallon"?) comes from Angelo. More MPG for the win, indeed. And finally, the ZOMG LOL (also not necessarily WoW-related, but we'll accept it) plate comes from Joejohn, who saw it as he was driving around the other day in Washington, DC.
All awesome. If you've got another plate for us to add in, drop us a note with a picture and we'll get it included.

Actually, all of them are real.
Many states (such as Texas, where I live) have taken to screen printing rather than stamping, so the Ohio plate, for example, looks "fake" when it is actually the plate itself placed on a flatbed scanner instead of a picture of it on the car itself.
Some states, most notably California, allow certain symbols to be included in vanity plates.
Zero photoshopping done here.

Some of these aren't WoW specific...
I'm pretty sure "ZOMGLOL", "OMGLAWL", "WTFNOOB" and "GG NOOB" were being used in games long before WoW came along.

I usually throw up a little when I see this sort of thing, but the TRVL 4M one was actually kind of clever.

As if gnomes weren't annoying enough already, this one with his Mustang fails at parking.

Hah... They would take a picture on the one day I was lazy with my parking job :P
And to all the Gnome H8Rz, pick on someone your own size! :P

"LFG UBRS"... I'm sorry, but I LOL'd at this one... Just too funny to think of all the time he spent doing just this.. so much so that it became a lisence plate :)

What does the plate on the blue Cayman say? Terrible photo. Can't read it.
