Driving around silicon valley on routes 101 and 280 ("The 101" and "The 280" if you're from California) you can't help but notice this isn't like the rest of America. You'll see dozens of Priuses. Frequently you'll even see Teslas and Fiskers. And there's that white all-electric 325i I see buzzing around. But what really drives-home the fact that this is northern CA are the Vanity plates.
Herein I will only post plates that I personally see. To wit:
Webmaster1 - yes, I believe you were #1... because this car may have been around since Tim Berners-Lee invented the web.
Ethernet - This guy is parked right around the corner from where I live. I'm thinking the car also dates back to the first time that a 10baseT got plugged in...
Patent: This one speaks for itself. Their other car is probably a Bentley.
WebApp. Microcode?
1E4 Gauss. That's a Tesla.... literally and mathematically. Maxwell would be proud of ya'.
Apple. No, not Steve's car. But I'm sure they've had multiple offers for this plate. Wondering how many times it's been stolen.
I Debug. What Claudius the engineer says. One classy coder.
Byte Law. I take that to be a metaphor for Shark Attorney. Nice Karma.

First of all, a slight correction. The use of "the" before freeway names is a distinctive trait of natives of *Southern* California. Down there, it seems, freeways have such importance that they warrant a direct article in front of them. Up here, we can only hope that they never gain that sort of linguistic sway.
And second, I'm disappointed you don't have a certain "BEA NBR1" plate photo from days gone by. :)
these are a tad much, but hey, it's their money to spend.
