IBOTOXU - Saw this in the parking lot of a medical building recently.

I've been to that building several times recently and I'm willing to bet if I checked the building directory there's a plastic surgeon there. I'd say it's effective advertising for his or her business but there's no address on the car.

ACTR2BE - Actors aren't supposed to be modest, so I guess your advertisement is fitting

I'd expect to see bumper stickers on your car of all the plays or shows you've been in.

CUT2STYL - I'm getting a haircut brought to me today

Since I've been feeling like a shaggy sheepdog this is very exciting! Again, though, I think this plate would be better advertising if you had your business address on your car.

CHARMSS - On bracelets, or you're advertising your own?

Because one seems juvenile and the other seems sleazy....

Since I made fun of doctors...

Doctors aren't the only medical professionals who indicate their profession on their plates.


2TH DK 1 - I have to confess that I saw this plate a couple of times before I made the connection and photographed it. Tooth decay is a quite funny plate for a car I presume is owned by a dentist.


DC SPINE - A more straightforward plate to tell you that the owner of this car is a chiropractor.

Advertising

Corporate advertising was what started my interest in photographing license plates and what led me eventually to blogging about plates. My favorite corporate plate so far was not the name of the company, but rather a description of what they did for you. However, custom plates are still popular with some companies.


Able Locksmith, for example, has as a custom plate:

ABLELOCK.


FURNDOC is the plate on the moving truck of a local furniture repair store.
