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!

Just got the new plates yesterday...

I'd get one for all the slow drivers in the left lane.......

MOV OVER


Bry, your plate truly KIKs A! :D

sd_boxster 06-21-2009 07:58 AM

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.

urban_legend 06-22-2009 06:50 PM

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".

embryoguy@mac.com 06-23-2009 07:44 PM

my plate says, "ZYGOTE" :)

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.

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....

randijo 07-07-2009 08:35 AM

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... :matchup:

BUT if I lived in a nicer area, I would want vanity plates

cartagena 07-07-2009 05:51 PM

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

sandyman65535 07-07-2009 08:13 PM

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.

:cheers:

mptoledo 07-09-2009 07:28 AM

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". :D

sandyman65535 07-09-2009 07:22 PM

This almost beats bry's "KIK Ass":

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

ChefCarnivore 07-10-2009 04:02 AM

Imcookn
 
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.

cartagena 07-10-2009 05:20 PM

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

sd_boxster 07-11-2009 03:56 PM

The downside of my 5CHN3LL plates: A cop followed my wife for five miles trying to figure out what it mean - and finally pulled in behind her at a 7-11 (she turned into that lot because she was freaking out with a squad car following her) and asked her.

:D

That is an interesting cop, although being stalked isn't cool,

those are hilarious. Amazing how people spend their time. I think they are not sharing their skin or it is droll.

I got this for the Box S...years ago at Road America, a semi-pro racer friend of ours called us a bunch of "fence jockeys" because we're always hanging on the fence, spectating at Turn 5. We've since had t-shirts made and sell them at the souvenir stand.

Only those that hang around Road America know the meaning when they see it!

"GUD N FST" was originally on my old 911, but I liked it so much I kept it when I bought the Boxster. I originally saw it on an Audi S4 in Arizona. The sad part is I just moved to California and this plate isn't available. My new California plate will read "DAH CUBS".

[IMG]HPIM0950.JPG[/IMG]

jmatta 07-15-2009 01:28 PM

"DAH CUBS"

There's a glutten for punishment...and I'm even a Cubs fan from the north side!

2TrunkSteve 07-15-2009 03:59 PM

If I were to give you a top ten list of things that I did and loved in my five years in Illinois, the Cubs games (Wrigley Field and the Skybox on Sheffield) would take up 4 spots, the Boxster would take up 5 spots, and the last spot would not be appropriate to talk about on this site. :)

Gotta love the Cubby Bear too!

Not plate related, but after the engine failed on my Boxster my wife said she was going to buy me a bumper sticker for it that said, "Buy American."
