Some personalized plates are just dumb

I was just outside looking at the cars of the people who are at the movies tonight. Among them are two personalized plates:

H82BL8

and

DA WAGON

Now those are pretty good ones. What I don't understand is when somebody buys a '92 Ford and they get personalized plates that say:

92 FORD

Is that to help them remember their plate when they check into a motel? Make it easier to buy replacement parts? I don't get it.

If I had a '92 Ford, I think I'd like to get a plate that says 08 VETTE. It would be more of a conversation starter.
