If you drive a car in the Valley — and odds are you do — then you've probably guffawed, gawked, or groaned at at least a few vanity plate whiles waiting oh-so-patiently at red lights or politely not-riding the tail of the car in front of you.

Or maybe you have your own vanity plate. Good for you!

Today, we bring you a random collection of awesome vanity plates from around the Valley seen in 2019.

But first, we'd like to give a shout out to the plate that inspired this project: JIAOZI. This is one of the most important words in Mandarin a non-Chinese speaker can learn. It means "dumpling."

Unfortunately we were unable to snap a photo of JIAOZI at the time. But thank you, JIAOZI, wherever, whoever you are, and bon appétit.

Now, the Plates

This is how we feel every day ...
