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 ****************".

Smile 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".

Always wanted one that read "TI 3VOM"...... That way, when the slow-poke ahead of you reads it in his rearview, it will read MOVE IT

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...
