That is great. I like it and it's available in my state. Do you get a lot of ppl asking you what it means? In German it means the "hind end of a bird"

Nope, no one has ever asked. Perhaps they think it's my last name, although thankfully it isn't based on the translation you've come up with.

That's a company that I worked for in the early Aughts, and is no longer in existence. I found that frame when I was cleaning out my shop a couple weeks ago and put it on for nostalgia purposes.

First of all, I love the intellect and the cleverness you guys have on your plates. But here is the problem ever since I had my first 911 a 993TT. I had plates on it that said guggy TT. So once I have my car and this has happened from then (2002)- to even TODAY. People will f&*k with you. There are a ton of jealous people out there and they will make you miserable if you let them. Guess what they will copy down and call the Highway patrol with? Your easy to remember vanity plate. I knew a guy who had like FAST911(something to that effect). He passed an old couple doing 30 on a 65 mph single lane highway in California on double yellow lines. California has painted over many old passing lanes to double yellow under the guise of safety. Even where its easy to safely pass. They copied his plates wrote the CHP, and he got a nasty letter basically saying if it happens again he will end up in court or something like that, either way he was now on the CHPs Radar. Of course the old folks left out the part that caused the incident. So after that I got regular old plates. This stuff happens all the time. Today I am getting on the freeway and I see this guy in a new red Kia (A KIA!!!!) ahead of me zooming into traffic trying to get to the left hand lane. I mosey on up and I end up behind him and I am two car lengths behind doing 70 and a FedEx Tri Trailer is on my right so I have no place to go. The Kia brake checks me which I thought was hysterical, till he did it again. No one told Einstein in the Kia a Kia cant out brake a 911. So I went up closer to show him what riding your bumper really is. Now I have my right foot feathering my brakes and he is jamming on his brakes over and over. In the fast lane at 70MPH. So he slows down till he comes up with a better idea. Go past the FedEx truck then ZOOM ahead of me trapping me in the left hand lane again to another truck one lane over (same lane as the FedEx truck but ahead by 8 car lengths.) Except he forgot the Kia doesnt seem to have the Same ZOOM as a 911 S+powerkit. So I just went around and then in front. The moral to the story is, I was in a smaller city and if he had written down my easy to remember plate and called the highway patrol I would have been on the radar of two counties and several cities for something this idiot did. This happens ALL the time. 99% of the time you can ignore it, but the one time you act out and your plate is FAST911 it might not be so good.
Just think about it and make your decision. This happens so often, I am thinking of parking my car and just using it for PCA events.

But one of the last 7 981S Boxsters to be built for the US market.
