A Nascar team is sponsored by the show "24"?

For years you've been giggling at drivers from other states with NASCAR vanity plates. Now you can do it to your fellow Texans.

Yet another "Like/Don't Like" poll has come from Myplates.com, the private company that has taken over the vanity-plates business from the state and has been aggressively pushing new designs.

Also featured: plates for the Texans, Dynamo and the University of Tennessee (decisions, decisions: The NASCAR plate or the Volunteers plate?). And a skull plate.

We also like this one. Because if you're such a fan of Ford, you need to inform other people that the vehicle you're driving is a Ford. In case they couldn't tell from the Ford labels already on the vehicle.

Here's the skull design, from the Texas Trophy Hunters Association:

The Texans plate looks about like you'd expect, by the way:

Personally, we'd wait and see if they make the playoffs this year before investing.
