I once saw someone at a gas station with a blue 2000ish Mustang with plates of "ALTAIR". I had to stop them and ask if it was referring to the kit computer. Turns out he's an astrophysicist, and while he had used the computer, it refers to the star of that name.
He stopped and asked, "Wait. How do you know about the Altair (computer)?" Which is a valid question since it literally was before my time. I probably know too much computer history.
I've also seen some amusing licence plate frames, including, "My other car's a chocobo."
