If vanity plates cost more per year than a large pizza, which has been roughly the case in every state I've lived in, I'd worry more about some sort of wealth signalling effect. And if I didn't see so many wrecks rolling down the road held together with bondo and baling wire sporting vanity plates... There's also often a whole suite of charity plates, where you can proudly display your support of XYZ for an additional fee, some of which is donated to charity. Growing up, I remember many people in Maine who thought the old lobster plates[1] were ugly enough to opt for the loonie plates[2].
