Only in TX
Years ago, I was in Austin at UT and was driving down I-35 and saw a Mercedes SL Convertible with a gorgous blond driving, she had a huge smile on her face and the plates said: BENWAH.....it as just great!!! My friend and I laughed about it for days, but wish we were crusing with her too....

I just saw a blue Corvette convertible on the interstate with the license plate:
"BLBAYOU"

I initially wanted vanity plates but opted not to, to avoid unwanted attentions and haters.
Luckily I didn't get vanity plates...
BUT if I lived in a nicer area, I would want vanity plates

GRINGO
On another note I debadged today. I am going to make a sticker that says "Eat ****************" in the same font. Most people here have no idea what the car is so they walk up to it and I often (like 10 times a day) hear someone say either "Boxster" or "Porsche" out loud. It is going to be hilarious to hear people say "Eat ****************" and then go home and tell their friends they saw a really nice car with model name "Eat ****************".

You think that's expensive...
Here in Victoria, Australia, a custom plate costs $500 AUD, that's $395 USD. At least you don't have to pay for it every year.
If you want just 3 numbers (e.g. 986) or two letters (e.g. FP), the price is around $1000. If you can get one. I saw the plate 239 auctioned a few weeks ago for $70,000.
And did I mention we can be fined for doing 3kmh over the limit?
Registering a sportscar here is akin to cruelty. Luckily they can't police all the roads all of the time ;-)
Anyway, I've been looking at the authority's website to register one, which has rules to prevent you registering plates that might be offensive.
So...
You can't have BLK-BOX or LRG-COK
But you can have SML-COK
Funny that.

I like CRAMER's "AZZ MAN", but for me it would have to be "CAREFREE", or "RELAX" or "moveover" Or my favorite, "ROTFLMA" (Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Ass Off) I know, but someone might not know what it means.
Side note, I wanna get one of those LED read out that you can program from the cockpit and send people messages after i pass by. Like "About time grandma","jack ass"(for the slow people and truckers in the speed lane). Or if you see a hottie with a dude, you could say "Hey, I knew I recognized the back of her head".

New to this forum, and enjoying it so far. Just purchased a 98 Boxster with 40k miles on it yesterday. I have a plate that reads GRMNFUN. I got it for my 2010 VW GTI, which I foolishly traded after three months for a 2010 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI. The plate looks a little silly on the diesel wagon, but I'm thinking it'll do nicely on the back of my new Porsche...
