Actually, I would assume it was a prop tag for some sort of movie shoot.

This is yet another design, but...

Slightly different subject... People take photos of my license plate all the time. If I'm stopped, I used to try to grab my phone and take a photo of the person taking a photo of my car, but that really didn't result in usable photos, so I stopped. If my kids are in the car, I tell them to turn around, smile and wave. I've actually been afraid of being rear ended a few times by people trying to get close to take photos.

For as often as the car has been photographed, I would have kind of expected to run into some of them in the wild, but not yet.

One of my friends owned the "hero" Lola T70 from THX-1138. It had been restored back to factory condition and he later sold it to a guy from Belgium. It seems to be for sale again. He used the proceeds to buy a number of other cars, one of which was a 2006 Atom.

That's excellent.

I take it that it was a particular 2006 Atom?

Nope. I don't even know who he got it from. He also got an Ultima and a Ford GT as part of the same package.

Not quite a vanity plate, but from this morning's elementary school drop-off:

The plate frame reads "No Fat Chicks Car Will Scrape."
