Default My first vanity plate...

I thought y'all would appreciate this:

"Who's the U-boat commander?"

Thanks sniper - I thought I was being clever and unique - except someone actually already has UBOAT1 - I wonder if it is another shark owner?

Shoulda spelled it UBOOT.

That would be the actual German spelling. Then you'd look ultra cool!

Except very few people speak german, and would have no idea what he was talking about.....lol.

I find that the vast majority of people that recognize my 928S from the movies are Scar Face fans. Even the young kids LOVE that movie.

When driving around in the Philly ghetto(i'm a self employed repossessor) in my Shark, i'm always hearing catcalls of "Hey, it's TONY MONTANA!", or "Where are the ma-chine gun turrets?"

I have a "Say hello to my little friend" Tony Montana air freshner in my 928- got it in a repo'd car i snagged one night.



LOL

I do still like your tag though....very cool.

I might be able to overcome my aversion to personalized plates if I could get this one...

"Das Boost" would be a very cool play on that concept for a forced induction 928.

Chuck,
I give in - what does it mean?

It's the tag # from the 928 that fell in the lake in the movie Risky Business.

btw, here is my version of U-Boat Commander
