VANITY! (plates)

[thebadmamajama]

Hey, darlings! I just got my first *real* car (*not a clunker) and I want to get vanity plates to express me, my personality, and, of course, the red hair. Any suggestions? I'm a French major and a past-lover so anything clever you ladies might have? I'm here to challenge you!

Also, what are your thoughts on personalized plates?

 

[GoldLeaf]

How many letters does your state use?

Some plates just confuse the heck out of me. It was so funny, the other day I saw one that was GODUKEGO and I read it GOD-U-KEG-O lol Couldn't figure out what they wanted God to do to their Keg lol

Considering they cost extra money, I personally wouldn't do it. I once thought I would, but now I think I would rather buy a pair of shoes

As long as the plate is understandable, I think its kind of cute

Here in Pennsylvania we only have one plate. I decided to get a custom front plate at a car show and that plate has "Born Too Late" on it. It's on our cranberry PT cruiser with the flames. So if you have only one plate in your state that's another option that would be open to you and less costly.

Lucky! I want that exact car! *jealous*

Congrats BMJ!! Hmm.. I don't know enough french to think of anything cute. [huh] I hate when you think of something cute, but it won't fit!
Like ravi red.. or ravi-ru
Esp. everything I'm thinking in french would be too long. If you americanize it and shorten it, will people still know what it is, ha!

Mine is O'Haira, for hairstylist and Gone With the Wind. I was so excited when no one else had it, esp. spelled that way. The only time I wish I didn't have it was when someone started a bad bit of road rage with me. I actually pulled up to a police dept. and they kept going. But I just knew I was going to end up with my tires slashed or something later!

If I owned a...

1931 Model A Town Sedan: A TOWNEE
1934 Chrysler Airflow: UGLY BTY ("ugly beauty")
1935 Ford: 85HPV8
1936 Olds 4-door: OLDSTER
1937 Chevy: NOT ROD (because most of 'em are)
1941 Pontiac: DEMARAGE (tell ya why later)

Just a thought:

When getting vanity plates, try not to distinguish the fact that you are female, as often those criminally inclined will wait in parking lots and watch for those owners to return. Just FYI.

Enjoy your new wheels!

I never thought of that, beaucaillou, tho in my case (I am a cheapskate) it is bumper stickers as in Proud wife of an Army soldier or whatever it says.

**moved thread**

Not too much to do with the overall scene of the PR, more of an OB vibe.

I have friends who are Chicago Cops back home and they always made me aware of this, so I try to make others mindful as well. For safety's sake!

 

[thebadmamajama]

That's a really good point, ladies...and since I'll be going to grad school in probably not the greatest of areas, I should watch out...hmmm...what if you COULD have one, what would you guys put on it, given 6 letters to describe yourself just for fun?

 

[patrick1987]

I've driven the car with the "Proud Wife of an Army Soldier", just to keep the bad guys off the track, ya know!
Mine would say NICEGUY.

 

[Brian Sheridan]

Please...whatever you chose...don't make it a total head-scratcher. Make it obvious to at least 80% of those who read it. Mine is 007 FAN...signifying my hobby of James Bond. I did have someone ask my if I was a Mickey Mantle fan. Wouldnt have that been NY7 FAN?

That's the drawback.
I spell my name, D..a..n..g..e..r,....so I can't very well afford to be so easily identified!

 

[Doh!]

Why not go the other route and have:

GUN OWNR

?

Alas, Senator, RudeBoy, and Crackpot are all taken in NY. The only three I've considered.

I don't know about the state where you live but in Pennsylvania, any inflammatory words or those related to violence or vices are not allowed on a vanity plate. If Thomas Magnum lived in PA, he would not be allowed to have MAGNUM, PI on his car's plate ( or Robin Master's car) even though his name is Magnum.

On my Yellow Ford Ranger I had TILE GRL. My husband HATED driving my truck. I have moved on to bigger and better trucks thanks to my husband and on our Chevy Duramax we have TILE TRK.

 

[Lincsong]

I have my name on my plates. Well, actually my first and middle initial and then my last name spelled with one vowel.
