How about GUAJIVW, playing off the relationship between VWs and 911s. A VW is sort of a peasants 911.

This was a randomly issued license plate that you didn't actually customize? That is very cool!

I submitted "DUCKET" in CA, which was approved initially but they sent it offset to one side, so I rejected it and re-submitted with the lettering centered (with the help of the DMV lady). CA then came back saying they would not allow this plate because it was offensive!?!

Aside, if you have a 6 letter plate idea and you want it centered on the plate (in CA there are 7 letter positions), then you should go to the DMV in person, don't use the website. The website does not allow even spacing of 6 characters (it has 7 character fields), but the paper form at the DMV has 8 character fields so you can put half spaces (/) at each end.

I ended up choosing something simple that means something to P-car fans (naturally aspirated version of 991), but looks like a standard issue plate to everyone else.

I did my vanity plate on the CA DMV website and was able to add half space... note the half space between "DADS" and "C2S":

I used to use Vanity plates. I had one on my 996 Turbo & My Accuair Lexus RC F. I currently have a GTR & a 991 Carrera S that don’t have vanity plates.








what does it mean when a car is salvage

I'm dying.

[EDIT:]... at some of these plates. EZ3PUT = excellent.

Here's mine. Was on my 718S. Going onto 991.1S that I'm buying from a fellow RLer very soon.
