(Anyone who has no idea what license plate saxxy 
is talking about can find a pic at the link 
above. I link to it in the intro text on that 
page.)

While the plate used to be on my car, these days 
it's on my wall. I no longer live in Virginia.

I had to bribe someone at the DMV to allow me to 
keep the plate -- it's the law in my new home 
state that the DMV cannot give you new plates for 
your car until you turn in your old out-of-state 
tags. (This helps prevent crime / stolen vehicle 
problems.) I wasn't willing to give them up 
without a major fight, though. ^_^ Luckily I 
managed to come out of the battle with one of my 
two original VA plates. 

I no longer have personalized plates since they're 
a lot more expensive here. ^_^; They were only $10 
more than a regular plate in VA! But someday I'll 
save up and get that plate again. It was a real 
conversation starter, that's for sure, especially 
when I parked next to Buford's car... His license 
plate says XELLOSS. ^_^
