Vanity plates?

[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.

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

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.

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?

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!

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

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

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!

I have ZULATR and 68SSRS on my Cali cars. The wife's 98 SS had SS4 CECL (Car= mine, plate= hers. shhhhhhhh.........)

[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.

FE2O3Y

Irony?

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

[Jagarang]

Panammonium...that is good!

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"
