Hmmm ...

In FL there's a website to check the availability of a desired plate. If it is you can reserve it.

Is there something similar in GA?

Chad,
9Porsche and Porsche9 are both available in NYS, maybe in GA? My son had a funny idea for a vanity plate when I was trying to figure out what one meant the other day. He suggested a plate with several letters and numbers that mean absolutely nothing but gets people reading and trying to figure it out. lol

I thought of the new "text messaging" that might work, I.e. TTYL seems like a fit for your car.

I agree, skip the vanity plate(s). Skip the bumper stickers. Skip your college window sticker. Skip anything that might not be to the liking of the officer who pulls you over. Where as all these things mean something or have value to you ... they may have the exact opposite effect for him or someone else. Without these little personal touches, he'll be more apt to keep his head in a neutral mindset - one without programmed or conscious dislike or hatred. Every action has an exact and equal reaction.
Let the car speak for itself.

Oh I disagree in regards to the plate. I have the below plate and I think it speaks for itself, but let me explain:

1. I have had the domain name of The Speed Demon for 10 years now.
2. The Speed Demon was based upon my love for things that go fast (not quick) and the dark side of me.
3. A lot of my screen names are The Speed Demon.
4. Just recently I was pulled over for going 80+ in a 55 and the CHP didn't say a thing about my plate and I did not get a ticket.

I do not like bumper stickers myself or really any other stickers in windows, the plate is a fun thing to do or even for marketing. Getting yourself in trouble with the law after being pulled over is all about attitude towards them. Of course if you have some vulgar comments on there that would upset pretty much anybody or if it is directed at a specific group of people, then you have already put yourself in a position, but a plate is not going to do that in most cases. Plus we are Porsche people and would not place stickers on our cars.

My 2 pennies on this

Your vanity plate has absolutely no bearing on whether you will be ticketed or not. I've been pulled over twice with my vanity plate (996 C4S), PCA and rennlist stickers proudly displayed and was let off with only a warning both times; last time I was clocked at 147km/h in a 100 km/h zone AND my extinguisher was still mounted in plain view since I'd been at the track the day before. I'd like to think that courtesy and politeness towards the officers, made me pass the "attitude test" with them.

Plate ordered. (my very 1st one )...

TRNFAST

Could not believe it was available. GA would not let me have 996AER0 due to it being so close to existing plates... Kinda wanted that one.

In 90 days, it should arrive...

Good thing you didn't get "996Aero", with all the mods you're doing it may not be an Aero in 90 days
