The list I've seen so far: MLOGANCLS KIMBERFN (This one could be also for firearms Kimber America so not sure, but anyways it may trigger cops to check or stop that Kimber fan!) KRELLPWR
The late Harvey (Dr.Gizmo) Rosenberg use to tool around in a big vintage Cadillac. Can't recall exactly what his license plate was but it did have the word tube on it. I saw him drive by once and I gave chase but couldn't catch up to him.
Are you sure it doesn't stand for Infectious Disease Doctor? (but of course he/she could also be a scifi movie fan). ID is a very common abbreviation used for Infectious Disease in the medical field.
My favorite personalised plate was on a Scion B the cube looking econo offering from Toyota it stated "(heart) MYMILF" how that made it by the moderators is a good question.
Re "IDDOC," Plato also had it right in his post above. To be sure it's clear, the holder of the license plate would be a doctor who deals with problems involving the id. In other words, a psychiatrist. The relevance of "Forbidden Planet" is that someone who remembers that scene knows what the id is :-)

I was not trying to leave anyone out, posts here dont always appear in the order they were sent.
Als was the first I read and I was surprised anyone got it so quick. Other replies, Infectious Disease and Illegal ID are appropriate but I like to think the personal plate was inspired by Forbidden Planet.
Im a huge fan of Forbidden Planet. Its in good company with only a couple of other Sci Fi movies that qualify as best ever (on my list).
Loved the original 1956, Invasion of The Body Snatchers and original 1951 version of The Day The Earth Stood Still.

My sentiments exactly. Also competing for the top spot on my list is "2001: A Space Odyssey." Its slow pace would certainly be a turn-off for some, but it works for me!
Two very different examples of the sci-fi genre, but both great.
Yes, Sigmund Freud was the one who divided our pyches into 3 divisions, the Id, the Ego and the Superego. The Id is the impulsive, selfish side, the Superego is the controlling, moral side and the Ego is (hopefully) the resultant balance between the two. Alas, it's never the case :-)
Well, if we are off the audiophile plates and on to sci-if movies... Silent Running with the slightly demented Bruce Dern. And what is it about audiophiles and science fiction anyway?
All of those topics mentioned have a common thread. They are intricate, require assemblage or manufacture, are capable of inducing awe and wonder at rest, test the boundaries of what we know, require participation which may lead to disassembly (some good, some not so good), assimilate our minds and thoughts allowing us to conflate ourselves with them, and though fulfilling, leave us wanting more.
