License plate tectonics
In Upland this week, I drove behind a car with the license plate GEDACLU.
Get a clue? Cute. Although it's also possible the driver is a proponent of not only the ACLU, but the General Educational Development degree.

What type of car was it on?
[Couldn't tell, it was dark and we were on the freeway. -- DA]
Could also be "get a CLU." Certified Life Underwriter is like a CPA of insurance sales. My all-time favorite CA license plate "ENNUIGO" (ENNUI + "ON WE GO").
[Another alternate reading of GEDACLU! -- DA]
Folks who have personalized license plates should be required by law to post a translation somewhere near the plate.
[Agreed. -- DA]
