Let's See Your Personalized Plate
When I was driving my Mini - it seemed everyone had a vanity plate. When I was little, these were reserved for exotics and limousines....I think the Box can fall into the first category still
I couldn't help but pay tribute to my roots....

My name is Les lees (LS5 1EES)
In the uk it's illegal to put on a license plate that makes your car appear younger than it is, luckily mines a 2001 MY

I've never had a cop mention the plate name. Frankly, I don't think they know any German.

personal plates
I was thinking of a personalized plate for my new purchase (April 13/2015) but here in Ontario they are expensive: 310.00 now, I think. It was only 175.00 a year or so ago when I put one on my wife's Miata. Meanwhile, I kept my veteran's plates from the 98 Jaguar XK8 convertible which I sold after I found the Boxster, so I transferred them to the Porsche.

Oregon has a lot of love for vets. As a disabled vet I qualify for free vehicle registration for life (after a $15 one time fee) but I didnt like the way that plate would look on my Boxster (theyre bland and boring looking). Instead I elected to pay an extra $20 per year (plus standard registration) for Oregon's South West Asia Service Medal recipient plate. You must have earned this medal to get this plate, I earned mine in 1990 during Operation Desert Storm. Heres how it looks on the Box. The dirt you see was on the lens not on the plate...
