Vanity Plates

[ihawk95]

I always thought I'd get YAK QN, or GWG, or PCP (Princess Cranky Pants)...but that probably won't fly. Already have ihawk on my wind restrictor.

But after going back through this thread, I'm moving to Ohio so I can get either the beef one, or the University of Akron one, but I'd change it a little so it would fly! The cows really make the most sense for me...especially when I'm on a run!

Might as well add another questionable plate to my collection, since my Camaro plates already pushed the Iowa DMV limits!

I have (4CYLNDA) just to let know they were just whooped by a 4 cylnder.......LOL!

Mine is my last name. pretty unique because we are the only Kronewetter's in the us.

last name = Kronewetter
my plate = KRNWTR

I have V8 B8 on airforce veteran plates

[JimVonBaden]

I saw GR8D8B8 on a Viper once! I thought it was both funny and sad.

I've had two on my Sky "08Turbo" and "R Sky Car" the grandkids call it that

[TXNSKY]

These are great! We wanted TXNSKY, but we could only get 5 letters so we got SKYTX. I like MAYHEM or CRUZIN. Lots of creative ideas here.

If my wife used that it would have to be on "Antique" plates.

It was a toss up for my 08 RL between GASNGO and MYMYMY. I finally chose GASNGO but MYMYMY certainly fits our cars. Here in CT we can only get six letter plates.
Good luck and good hunting. Jerry

[JimVonBaden]

I finally got to put mine on yesterday!

PS For those who do not get it, it means hate to cage. In motorcycle terms it means hate to ride in a car, but on the Sky the "cage" is the top, so hate the top up!

I bought mine right off the bat. They say PREMLOR

Funny, given the fact that much of the world (including Britain, where you can sell plates with number/letter combinations that mean nothing to anyone from anywhere else, for megabucks) seems to be mad keen on expressing themselves with custom license plates, but I guess I just don't have the 'cute plate' gene.

Reminds me of when people name boats (they all seem to take a double dose of 'aren't I cute' pills) and come up with trite labels that amuse (probably only) themselves.

I guess you either feel it or you don't. The fact that I don't saves me a few bucks every year as they charge extra for custom plates here (I would guess they do most places). I'll settle for having my coupe serial number in my plate number, a matter of happenstance when the dealer laid out a bunch of plates and let me choose which one I wanted.

Maybe it is the same missing gene that makes naming inanimate objects like cars with human names also seem silly to me? Oh well. No offence to people that do get their jollies that way.

In Britain's defense, you cannot choose your license plate. It gets assigned at the time you buy a car and stays with the car for life (not the owner). So the only way to get a 'custom' plate is to buy the car that had the plate (semi) randomly assigned to it. Once you own the car, you can transfer the plate to another car you own, but even that's not easy.

THAT's why the plates go for so much money.
