plate

Many years ago I had a really slow 85 Nissan Sentra and my plates were "Pass Me2" People would laugh when they got on my tail! The car only did 55!

If your state mandates front plates:

AVO VOM

I've got a generic plate on my Boxster but the one on my Touareg is CUBS 4VR.

Nice pair ...

When I was standing in line to get my plates - I eventually recogonized the tall blonde in front of me. She drives a convertible mercedes and is the owner of the local college sex shop. I suggested I get "BOX TOY" and she get "TOY BOX".

No idea how this guy got away with it and I'm not sure what lead to his glaring antisocial disposition, but there it was, and old dirty Suburban driving around Reagan country with plates reading "FUC U2". Pretty unambiguous.

Regards, Pk

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....

"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

Since I am a chef I wanted something to indicate that but not be too egocentric.

When people asked me how I was I would answer "I'm Cooking" as an inside joke so that's why I picked the plate.

I am not sure if anyone posted this link yet, but here is a link to vanity plates where people complained about them...it is pretty funny:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/wiscplates1.html


The most creative one has to be 6Q 2Q.

The guy then put a negative sign in front of the 2 so it is 6Q -2Q

That equals 4Q
