you think you have it bad donv, you dont know the half of it. unless your plate is something like groovy, i dont think you know what it means to have hundreds of people scream your plate at you.

My plate reads SCHNLL (German word for FAST, sans the E due to Texas' idiotic 6 digit rule on vanity plates)

I didn't know whether to laugh or be embarassed when a girl in a parking lot asked her friend why my license plate said "Chanel".

And Jeph, if you drive friendly, no one will remember your plate. Drive like a jerk and they'll remember the most obscure or difficult standard alpha-numeric number!

I've had a good mind to pay the DMV $10 to run a plate for me so I could send the owner of the car a letter saying I'd run them down and beat them senselessly if I ever saw them on the road again.

Randall makes a great point and people will remember you especially if your travel the same route continually, as, say you do going and coming from work.

Having said that, I think the V V V V V plate looks pretty cool on the Box.

This is probably not original by any means, but I have been thinking
"P ENVY" for myself. Maybe squeeze it together for "PENVY"....

Tell me you are fully aware of the double-entendre in this, please!
If so, you are one brave man.

I'm not so worried about the friendly part. It's more of a fast issue. People tend to either exaggerate or have NO SENSE OF SPEED (in reference to reporting you). This is kinda hard to explain, but have you ever seen a punk kid come down the street in their Ford Contour (or whatever)... the engine is SCREAMING, and it seems like they're going fast, but in actuallity they're still in first gear, so they're doing less than 25mph and accelerating at a... well, a Countour's pace! It sounds fast and wreckless, but if you were deaf, you wouldn't notice anything out of place.

Oh, and the other thing is mistakes. We've all misjudged exits and such... From another car, an error in judgement and an absolute jerk are identical. Being in a Porsche, people will want to lean towards the jerk spectrum on that one. Am I wrong?

I supervise a Race&Sportsbook in Las Vegas, thought this was a good double meaning.
