(Detroit Free Press) You can't be 2KINKY or 2SEXUL, 2LEWD or an 0LDFART. And you better not brag that you're FASTNH0T or admit that you HADAFEW.
These are just a handful of the 26,634 vehicle license plates as of mid-July that have made the Michigan Secretary of State's "bad word file," a list of prohibited license plates meant to make the roads a little less lewd and crude. No, PH0NSEX or J0Y0FSEX either.
The list, a combination of words, letters, numbers or both, is so long that it covers 606 pages and gets new additions almost by the day. (The number 0 sometimes is used in place of the letter O, while the letter I and the number 1 can both be used.) .............(more)

He has had his Lions personalized license plate for a few years longer I cant say exactly what it is (memory and security) but he was offered over 2,000 bucks by another fan to give it up. The guy started at 750 and worked his way up my kid told him to bugger off. Happened during tailgating at Eastern Market. I was feeling no pain, the encounter was hilarious.
