Default I love this guy's creativity, and guts

Hi,

This morning, taking our traditional weekend walks in the neighborhood, we heard the intoxicating sound of an exotic's engine springing to life. Turned aorund just in time to see a red Ferarri F355 Spyder backing out onto the street. And the vanity plate reads:

8NT4HER.

My wife bent over laughing. I took a second to decipher the plate, and I just went Very cool indeed.

To bad I did not have a camera handy. It would have been a beaut.

That's funny! I wanted to get a plate for my f-car "YASTUVO" = "Ya Estuvo", Spanish meaning "I had it", "Enough", "This is it". Too bad someone else already got that plate already.

I thought it would pretty funny with the large number of spanish populations here in CA.

Robin - "Ya Estuvo" ss a great track by Kid Frost from back in the day - that plate is probably on one of his...

I recently ordered a good one for my 993 - so there are some left in CA (one less now tho):

"AIRC C2S" - cant wait till it arrives at the DMV!

I saw this one driving around Pacific Grove the other day. I can't believe they let this one pass!!! Forgive the crappy cellphone pic...



If you're not getting it, imagine if the guy was behind you and you saw the plate in your rearview mirror.

A long time ago, I saw a beautiful woman walk out of a store and get in her car. I forget what the car was. The license plate, however, read WAS HIS.
Great warning for the next guy

Recently I have been thinking about getting a license plate frame for my 996 daily driver.

"Daily Beater", not sure how I would be able to spell this out in 7 letters....

Would this work: DLYBETR.

If I was to get a vanity plate for my Ruf, I would consider: CARARER. Word plays with Carrera and rare(r) car. Wife nixed the idea.

I was also worried that if people would understand what "daily beater" mean, I don't want anyone to think that I am a daily wife beater or something like that and start throwing eggs at me!

Or you can do DLYDRVR (for daily driver).

But then you can be a 24/7 slave driver, which is probably still more PC than 24/7 wife beater.
