I think mine was $25. What I don't like are vanity plates that let you know someone is a lawyer, doc, or dentist. I just think that's a sign of insecurity. Sorry if any of you have that on your plate.

There is a code section in my State (and probably most States) that says it is illegal to drive too slowly, as to impede traffic. While that code section looks like a bunch of random numbers to the unsuspecting eye, those numbers are my license plate. I think that it is subtle but yet appropriate, and maybe it'll get a chuckle from other people in the legal or law enforcement profession.

I think MD plates in NY let you park in front of hospitals. Not vanity plates though.

Copied someone else's plate here. Thought it was very clever; not to mention the Wife loved it!

love it ... copied it ... have a fresh idea for the Gen 1 Spyder for plates ... will have to check and see if I can get them, stay tuned. the second picture was a result of I wonder how these might fit ... the inserts in the 981 Spyder were actually made for the 987 Spyder but I figured I would try them out in the 981 the fit isn't bad ...

Some states allow you to sell/assign your personalized plates to others and it appears that many have high value. See:

https://www.myplates.com/Auction

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-675000-license-plate/

Anyone know of a website or other venue for selling desirable CA license plates? I own a few that I don't need but would be interested in finding out the value of. For example, I own NA SPYDER. Recently, I saw the plate "BMW" in Orange County and it got me thinking about the possibilities. The articles above only peaked my curiosity.

Registered this plate a couple of months ago:



I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures here or on another forum of at least one other car in another state with the same plate, so I guess I'm not very original... I want to say VA or NC?
