In Fiction
Some characters in fiction films and television series own vehicles with vanity plates. This can be used as a comical element, as "Outatime" in the DeLorean DMC-12 time machine featured at the science fiction film Back to the Future. Also, it can display the character's eccentricity or egocentricity. An example is Buck in the action/thriller film Kill Bill Volume 1, whose Pussy Wagon pickup truck has a "PSY WGN" plate.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.”
—Daniel Easterman (b. 1949)
“The private detective of fiction is a fantastic creation who acts and speaks like a real man. He can be completely realistic in every sense but one, that one sense being that in life as we know it such a man would not be a private detective.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
