Vanity plates?

[Damn True]

Not as popular as they once were in CA. Seems like the only ones you see now are something like 2 QT4U and the chick weighs more than Bills GTO.

I also saw a chick once that had 1QT3.14 ....she wasn't.

Funniest one was a guy I was stationed with in Hawaii had:

3M TA3

....for about six months, then he got a letter from DMV.

[lftnwhls]

I wanted to get CYAHHNDA but my wife thought it may cause unwanted problems.

My local DMV said the GIVNR was offensive so I couldn't get it.

[bowtieguys]

I tried for: AZZWHIPN and WHIPNAZZ in West Virginia but it was considered too offensive. So I settled for BAD NEWS.

[dropit69]

in illinois you cant get 69 on your plates unless your car or truck is actually a 69 model year..lol..i knew a guy sold his 69 tried to transfer plates to another car and they wouldnt let him..too funny..

[Travis B]

I had 62ONNOS on my chevy II while I was in high school!

[ProTeal55]

I wanted to get "FIFTY5" , but someone in the state of Illinois had something close to it, so I ended up getting
"SHUBOXX".

Original Huh :banghead:

[steemin]

I saw one while vacationing in Cali. many years ago..

"RCH PHKR" on a Rolls.

I don't know how he got away with that?

[harshman]

I was at the track in Las Vegas racing with a 50'ish guy in a gray corvette with red interior that had F ME 2 – not kidding. Somehow he got it past. He was single to boot.

Plik!!

[6'9"Witha69]

Same in Cali! It took 2 letters to the DMV for them to approve mine!


3M TA3
At the risk of sounding like a moron, what does that mean?

EAT ME





I have a Michigan State block S plate that reads

SIX T7

[69rs]

I've got 69 on mine! It is, but they didn't ask me to prove it. My wife surprised me with GR869RS for my Camaro.

[rockdogz]

CR8ZY68 :smoke:

[6'9"Witha69]

EAT ME





I have a Michigan State block S plate that reads

SIX T7


ahhhhhhh, backwards, now I get it:hammer:

[ProdigyCustoms]

I still like Bill's plate


PRO TOUR

And then of coarse there is always ours

PRODGY1 thru PRODGY8








PRODGY9

[Gonzostyle]

I saw this on a Plumbing truck recently, NOMOPOO and I have seen CADYSHK on an 80's Rolls.

I only have one car that does not have original plates and it has a vanity plate, LT1VERT. I know not very creative....

-Jeremie

[Damn True]

ahhhhhhh, backwards, now I get it:hammer:


Yeah, it was real apparent when you looked at it in your rear view mirror when he was following you.


Oh, knew another guy in the Coast Guard, a very old helo mech who had

NOS PIKR

[Rubes]

I didnt know that...but I did see a 69 camaro with ILUV69 and I think it was a chick drivin' it! my buddy has FALIC56 on his 56 chevy.

[toofun]

Saw these somewhere on the internet

NY PLATE NVWSSV (HAVE TO READ IT UPSIDEDOWN)

IWANTA

(THIS WAS ON A H2 VEHICLE THE LICENSE PLATE SAT JUST ABOVE THE BUMPER WHERE THEY ENGRAVE THE WORD "HUMMER" ON IT)

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Funniest plate I've ever seen read

"1MBL1ND" next to the license plate on the trunk deck there was a little sticker that said "and deaf too"

1MBL1ND and deaf too

Pretty funny, not sure how he snuck that one past the DMV.

[wantahertzdonut]

I always wanted "I FORGOT" on my plate so if anyone ever filed a police report and had to write the license plate of my car, it would say "I forgot" and make them look stupid.

One of the silliest I've seen was on a 72 Buick Centurian with the plates "USS MAC" or something like that. (I'm guessing the guy's nickname was Mac). Also saw "STFU MF".

I'd like to get "CM GET SM" but then I'd have every stupid kid trying to race me.

[jumpmaster]

Some forum, maybe this one, someones avtr/logo was their Michigan plate, it was "COPMGNT". I thought very fitting for a fast, cool car. I'm sure the cops flock to it.
I have a '69 SS/RS Coupe that I am going to customize inside and little on the body (Year One hood and fin). Any ideas for a plate? I have 7 spaces to use.

Here are a few:
COOL 69
GR8RIDE
CUSTM69
69 SS/RS
UR2SLOW

What do you think?

Where are you? I know the CA DMV has a utlity to see if what you want is available and how it looks on a plate.

Pick your plate style and then test whatever you want:
https://vrir.dmv.ca.gov/ipp/PerLicensePlateServlet

I am sure other DMVs have something similar.

With a name like jumpmaster, I can assume you skydive?

[Damn True]

Hmm, DAM TRUE fits. Think I can get away with it?

[ViperBlue68]

Saw a minitruck with 2FKN LOW dont know how he got that one pass DMV either

2FKN FST sounds kewl

[Norwoodx55]

A friend in high school(Arizona) had URANOB on his 5.0 stang.

[jumpmaster]

I'm in Colorado. I know I can check for availability but not sure if you can see what it looks like. Skydive, never tried really...I was a jumpmaster in the army back in the 90s. Been using it for so long I just automatically put it in when I register somewhere.

DAMTRUE.?.?.I guess I could use that and tell them I am a tour guide at the local historical dam...I tell the truth on the tour.

We'll see

[steemin]

I had a young man working for me (he is now in the Air Force)
that had a ton of money poured into a 95 Camaro SS.
Very loud and very fast..
His plate was "CALL 911"

I told him he was asking for trouble!!
Scott

[BRIAN]

I have "HOTFNROD" on my Rambler and keep waiting for DMV to catch on. I can't attach pics tsays too large? I can email if someobody can post.

[TEDDYS CAMARO]

The Police really like my plate.

HIOFCER

[6'9"Witha69]

I was a jumpmaster in the army back in the 90s. Been using it for so long I just automatically put it in when I register somewhere.
Ahhh, static Line?

I am thinking of PLNJMPR for my Silverado

[jumpmaster]

PLNJMPR is neat. After I left the infantry I joind EOD. For those who don't know, EOD is Explosive Ordnance Disposal. We are the "Bomb Squad" for the army (Military). I wanted my plate to read BOMBSQD but a lady up in boulder, Co has that already.. Tough luck I guess.

[BEEBE]

Here is my newest plate !

[jumpmaster]

Nice

[Bill Howell]

I have "HOTFNROD" on my Rambler and keep waiting for DMV to catch on. I can't attach pics tsays too large? I can email if someobody can post.

Send them to me Brian. I was thinking about that tag the other day and actually did a search looking for it. I know you posted a picture of it one time cause I remember asking you about it then.
billybigblock"at"gmail"dot"com

It goes without saying what my favorite is!

[TonyL]

our 57 says "WLSEEYA"
It came that way.

[Beeper]

Heres one.

[vanzuuk1]

How about NONE or BLANK so when you get a parking ticket...

I saw a hearse in conn. with the plate IM DEAD. Freaky.

[mpozzi]

How about D8 B8 for a plate but it's gotta be a car driven by someone that's easy on the eyes (some hunky guy behind the wheel would be fine by me . . . ). :angel:

And True . . . go for it. I doubt if DMV would protest too much.

[StRacerDuke]

St RCER was on a buddy of mine's 69 fastback in high school. He use to do well each weekend street racing it too. Ran around with ET slicks and a 4000 stall converter on it and single chamber flow's.

Unfortunately I heard when he put it up for sale it was stolen.

Also seen HSTLN U on a sleeper street racing Nova out of the vallejo area. The plates and the twin N20 system kinda gave it away though.

[shmoov69]

I had DROOL on my car for awhile and then got SHMOOV for it now. I put DROOL on dad's T bucket then.
Others
GONMAD - on my 58 Nomad
20PSI - on my old GN
other idedas
2HI PSI
RU NVS
NE1469
U WISH
and a whole list of others I got around here somewhere!

[Todds69]

I had QWK ENUF on mine for a few years and decided to go with the State Environmental plate afterwards...kind of help out a bit. That's just me though.

[PRO TC]

i got pro tour for my 67 i think ill try to get gmashen on my 69.
there was a low rider in town that said fknslmd not sure how that got past.

[Beegs]

A bunch of people over the years have offered my brother money for his vanity plate: 4-SALE


Beegs

[Gonzostyle]

Ryan, was the street sleeper nova a brown chevy 2 (like 63-64)? I seem to remember him running in the high 8s low 9s if it is the same car.

-Jeremie

[jumpmaster]

How funny Beegs... I have wanted to put this on mine before:

NT4SALE

[6'9"Witha69]

How funny Beegs... I have wanted to put this on mine before:

NT4SALE
I think most of us have thought of that!! My car is currently in my Parents driveway. My dad says people stop and ask if the car is for sale at least 2x a week.

[jumpmaster]

No kidding. I am amazed how many people ask. I guess its not too strange. Everytime I drive down a street or back-alley I'll stop and ask if I see a Camaro...hell any real muscle car for that matter. I guess you never know when that little old lady is going to say, "Sonny, if you'll just haul it off you can have it."

Maybe those days are gone?

[Jagarang]

I like 4DRTPRC better than NT4SALE

[Travis B]

we have talked about trying to get FO SALE or FORSALE several times as most of the cars we build are always for sale for the right price!

[Jagarang]

[vintageracer]

My wife has "ALL4ME", "ALL4ME1" 2 and 3 for her cars.

[Bill Howell]

Here is Brian's plate on the rambler. Very cool, I can not believe he actually got away with this one.

[Boyd]

My favorites are a Jag I saw about 10 years ago with "YOU WSH" and recently saw a very hot looking woman in a $100k Mercedes with "DUMBLND" (dumb blonde).

[smittys69]

The most original one I ever saw was on my college professor's car. If you know anything about chemistry, you'll figure it out!


FE2O3Y

[OHCbird]

I have ZULATR and 68SSRS on my Cali cars. The wife's 98 SS had SS4 CECL (Car= mine, plate= hers. shhhhhhhh.........)
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[CRCRFT78]

Tried to put "Stolen" on my Nova Cnvrt but a Jeep in SoCal had it. Put "CRCRFT" on my 78 Malibu as a little tribute to the folks at CarCraft that had it as a project car.

[wantahertzdonut]

The most original one I ever saw was on my college professor's car. If you know anything about chemistry, you'll figure it out!


FE2O3Y

Irony?

Similar to that I saw another chemistry professor with plats that read "PAND NH4"

[Jagarang]

Panammonium...that is good!

[smittys69]

Irony?

Similar to that I saw another chemistry professor with plats that read "PAND NH4"
Damn close Jim! You got the FE portion which is iron. When you combine FE2O3, that is Iron Oxide or RUST. Add the "Y" to that and you have RUSTY!

[Y-TRY]

You can probably guess mine....

My first choice was "YEVNTRY" but it was too long.

There was a "YTRYIT" in Austin for a while, and there's a "WHY TRY" right here on this board.

The "Y-TRY" is good for me... last name: Yarbrough, Yellow car, etc. So it works fine. It also serves as a good reminder to those who pull up on me at a light.

I kept my car insured and registered for the 7-years it took to build it, just to keep the plates. After the new build was done, I considered changing to "Y-TRY2" (either as a sequel, or as "why try to")

I get grief from some for having vanity plates, but I always thought they were great expressions. At the street races cars became known by their plates, even more than owners. Some of my local favorites include "SCRAM", "REVIT", "ZR-WHAT", "026TN4.3", "BLUBYU"

[StRacerDuke]

Ryan, was the street sleeper nova a brown chevy 2 (like 63-64)? I seem to remember him running in the high 8s low 9s if it is the same car.

-Jeremie

It was a dark blue/black 70-72 out of the Vallejo area. I don't remember the exact color on it though. It was a solid mid/high 10 sec car with both stages running.

The only real square body sleeper nova that I remember was Bowman's silver 63 out of the south bay. It had a turbo GN motor and would walk away from anyone who wasn't paying any attention. I remember it going 10.5 at Sac before he sold it to someone in south SF. I don't know what happened to it though. I think Bowman is still running outlaw 10.5 with a new nova now in PSCA.

I do remember seeing pictures of a square body nova down at the BBQ (big organized st. race outside of firebraugh) about 7 or 8 years back though. May have been the same one you're talking about.

[dhardison]

I have the following vanity plate on my SRT-4 daily driver and MAN does it seem to pi$$ people off (or maybe it's just my 'spirited' driving). The most unlikely people, once they read the plate, try to get back in front of me, tend not to let me merge, etc. It's bad enough that I'm seriously considering dropping the plate.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2006/01/DSC01719JPG-1.jpg

My Nova plate speaks for itself.

[Pro-touring towncar]

Some guys may have custom plates made aftermarket a friend was given an authentic looking ILLINOIS plate with its tits. He ran it for a week out of state with no problems. He finally noticed after he got home.

What I want for the Town car, Wyoming only allows 4 characters:

TTTC

[DeepBlue68]

I saw a late 90's marina blue Z3 (not sure what the actual BMW color that was on the Bond car is called) with "NOT 007".

[trapin]

The best plate I ever saw was on the back of this Ferarri 550 Maranello that was heading up north about 5 years ago. It read; UNV ME.

The worst plate I ever saw? This teenager last summer in a Tuner wearing a fur coat and a license plate that read; HE REAL.

I wanted to drag that punk out of his car and smack the sh*t out of him.

[Motorhead]

There used to be a C4 Corvette running around upstate SC that had I8A4RE for his tag. I guess it was fast?
