...and 75% of them were on PT Cruisers...

So, Virginia is the top offender when it comes to one of the more annoying elements of the American driving experience: The vanity plate.

A state-by-state survey of the popularity of vanity license plates has found that car and truck owners in Virginia are the vainest of them all.

Out of the 9.3 million personalized plates on the roads of America, about one in 10 are in Virginia, according to rankings provided to The Associated Press by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.

That's 16 percent of the plates issued by Virginia. New Hampshire came in second with nearly 14 percent. Illinois had about 13.4 percent, but that amounted to nearly 1.3 million plates, the most of any state.

What's the most annoying vanity plate you've ever seen?

I'll go with an example that my wife saw on (surprise! surprise!) a BMW: $UCCE$$
