I don't want personalized plates. But, even after nearly 13 years of ownership, I have no clue what's on my license plate.

I had my initials on my Range Rover, but decided not to bother with the 993. I did consider having either TI 3VOM (move it as seen in the rearview mirror) or IJ1IJ1 (very difficult to read) but in the end I just went with the stock plates. I say if you like it, go for it!

That's what I was gonna say. Do you really want to have a plate that's easy to read and remember and report? I like MNNMMNM or 1II11I1 or some such.

Well, have you thought of a new one yet??

I think they are cheap fun, and there is not enough fun in this crazy world of ours any more.

Do you think Robert has claimed the 'new' P-car as his?

We've got PROST! on the '95 and UCSCARGO on the '98. Some clueless wanted to know if I'm in the cargo business.

Of course you do....your plate is a classic and is how a vanity plate should be done!

People ask me if I'm a well endowed **** star... to which I reply... Yes!!!

On a lighter note my genius bookkeeper is convinced that my other tag means air cloud and cannot understand that it isn't...

I had mused about a personalized plate, research has shown that people with those plates cheat on their taxes more so than people who have regular plates... so for my birthday I asked for one!

It avoids some questions from people... the answer is on the plate!

"Cheers" and enjoy your US Thanksgiving, we should all "pay thanks" for what we have, peace and prosperity. My thanks to all the servicemen and women who help to make it so!

No personal plates here, but I also believe that there is a fine line between witty and Sir Douche-a-lot:

Witty - NO H2O
Douche - 2Fast4U

If you ask for a douchey one at the dmv they should give you DOUCHE and make you drive with it for three years.

I had personalized plates of SNOWBUM and SNOWBUM on my SUV---both in CA and UT---thats because I was a Snowbum. I was on the slopes all the time.

I would never ask anyone for advise or suggestions on a personalized plate because if one does, its no longer personal.

Kinda cool: the day after the Dept of Motor Vehicles gave me my new plates, this graphic greeted me while navigating to my local Porsche Club Region's webpage.
It was like a message from above, & everything just seemed right in the world!!!
