Here's some art which brings up a "why haven't I seen that before" thought. License plates, cut into the shapes of each state, arranged into the shape of the United States. Neat. Is it cool enough to fork over prices starting at $1,895, depends on if you've got spare scratch laying around. Of course if you've got a set of fifty plates, a template of the US (a map comes to mind) and a plasma cutter laying around, you can make your own for probably a lot less. Still a clever idea we wouldn't mind having on the wall of our garage. [ License Plate Art ]

Remember the guy from the United Arab Emirates that paid $6.8M for a vanity plate ? His bid for a plate reading "5" set the world record. But that's kid's stuff. A new record has been set by UAE businessman Saeed Abdul Ghafour Khouri, who made a bid of $14,300,000 for Abu Dhabi license plate "1." If it were our money, we'd go for a fleet of a dozen Bugatti Veyrons and still have some scratch leftover to gold-plate all our drinking straws. However, in the UAE a low number plate is a serious status symbol. Apparently, if you have a number low enough, you've basically got immunity to do whatever you want. Besides, who doesn't want to be No. 1? [via ABC News ]

Roses? Check. Candles? Check. Nice dinner in the oven? Check. Beautiful place setting with automotive theme? Negative. It's a shame you forget the smallest parts of your romantic Valentine's Day dinner, such as the nice plates, glasses and silverware. Help is available, however. Say hello to the gearhead place setting. Nothing says romance like eating prime rib out of a tire with wrenches and pliers. An included chrome hubcap is just the right amount of shine for the tire--and great for keeping your finely cooked dinner warm as your transport it from kitchen to dining room. Ever drink wine out of a piston-shaped mug? Me neither, but with classy equipment like that, you're bound to get some Saint V's Day desert after the actual dinner is all said and done.
