Vanity plates!

[Champ]

I love vanity plates.  To me they offer something unique about your car, and are ALWAYS good for a conversation piece.  I get asked about it all the time, and it's a good way to break the ice.

I need a plate for the '91... anyone have any ideas?  I'm thinking LVESNOW or something, since it's a winter car and owns in the white stuff 

[Vinsanity]

Although I like using amusing vanity plates as my avatar, I voted "only on cool cars" just to avoid ideas like putting "GODFTHR" on a Camry or a Dodge Intrepid

but classic Saabs (heck, modern ones too) get a pass

first suggestion that comes to mind if you want a winter theme is SNOW RLY

I don't care one way or the other.  I had "68 Fiat" on my .............you guessed it, 68 Fiat.  Back then Texas charged a $10 surcharge for a custom plate.  Then they discovered what a gold mine it was and jacked up the price and I said forget it.

Personal favorite: On a Contach..... IXLR8

always wanted to get KTHXBYE while I had the S2000

Nope, don't care for them.  But it may have to do with my paranoia.  I don't put anything on my car that's unique and visible.  No window stickers (unless I have to), no bumper stickers, no school endorsements, nothing like that.  I want my car to be anonymous when it has to be.

That's awesome!

I don't drive the prettiest car on earth right now, but I kinda want SUBRU, SBYDBY, GOTAWD, or DOOBIE for a plate right now.

It's $100 here in MN for 7 years, so it's not like that's some huge investment.

My favorite: SINGLE on a old vette driven by a guy in his 50's

Texas is $40 each year.

I've thought about putting something like PONTIAC or BRTZ GT on mine...but when I finally tagged it a couple weeks ago I just got the normal one.

I saw a Forester yesterday with the vanity plate "VNTY PLT"

I'd never put a vanity plate on my cars but I do get a kick out of seeing some...recent standouts in my mind include a Mini Cooper S with the plate "THE STIG" and an old F150 with the plate "PAID4" (do they want a congratulatory slap on the back?)

My current randomly-assigned plate is a very round number and I've been asked before what it means, as if it was a vanity that I picked out myself.  They're usually disappointed when I tell them it was luck of the draw.

I remember an 80's Cavalier with "YOURMOM" plates. That was cool.

[TheIntrepid]

My girlfriend's ordered vanity plates with her first name on them, and I'm considering getting "ADI" on the Trep instead of GODFTHR.

Yeah they're cool.

[Laconian]

WHEEEEE for the Miata?

[Laconian]

So, tell me this. Why are there vanity plate resellers in England? And why do their vanity plates suck? I see shit like "R1CH CE09" go for $5000 in the back of Top Gear magazine.

[The Pirate]

I voted for only on cool cars.  I see some clever ones from time to time, but they generally don't do too much for me and I doubt I'd ever get one.  Exceptions would be if I owned a '70 Chevelle SS or something like that.

In Europe, Licence plates aren't unique for each individual. It is not uncommon to buy a car with the licence plate included.

Vanity plates are great! I love driving around and seeing vanity plates and occasionally having to decipher what they mean. I'm not sure I would get one, but they're great if everyone else does!

It's like the caps on Lions Head bottles.

[JYODER240]

I like this one.

[Raghavan]

Only on cool cars.
Otherwise, no.

[MrH]

  I love blue 350Z's 

[Raghavan]

I like that pun on the Z.

[Soup DeVille]

Only if they're funny or interesting.

IDIOTBX on a Hummer H2 is wonderful.

I also saw OMGWHEEE on something the other day, I though that was funny.
ILIAD on a Honda Odyssey was sort of weird too.

[Eye of the Tiger]

That's like 3 puns in 1. That's amazing.

LOL those are nice

Wish we could have 8 chars here in MN like that Z, we are limited to 7 though

[Vinsanity]

One of these days, I'll buy an old Corniche and get my avatar as the license plate

[traumadog]

Here's a couple from some friends I know:

A 10-second Evo IX:


A white 350Z "X32 J4RO":

[Vinsanity]

When I was looking at buying a Honda Element, I was soo ready to order plates that said "LOLR SK8" I seriously would have been at the DMV the next day with my request

[Raza]

I like this one.

Is that owned by some guy named Zed who lives in a place called Blue Bayou?
