After spending all that money restoring, customizing or just outright buying your ride for the Woodward Dream Cruise, you can't just screw on a license plate that says XBC 1764. No, you have to get a vanity plate that expresses your car's snarky theme.. sans vowels. Below you'll find a sampling of the best vanity plates we ran across while walking up and down Woodward. Enjoy.

ˆ Lewis Hamilton spends £200k on vanity plate

It is unlikely that most of us would pay for $400,000 for a personalized license plate. It is also unlikely that most of us are McLaren F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. The plate, "LEW 1S," was purchased by a real estate tycoon named Bob Lewis for under $100,000. When Lewis Hamilton decided he had to have it for his Mercedes SUV, he threw down more than four times that much to whisk it away from Bob. We have nothing against spending whatever you want on whatever you want. However, the plate purchase seems an interesting choice, since one of Hamilton's supposed reasons for leaving England for Switzerland, where he now lives, was to live a quieter, more anonymous life.
