Default vanity plates

i'm thinking of getting a vanity plate, but i'm having problems deciding.

PRSCHE1 is available. so is FROODY (i'm a big nerd).

PCAR996 seems a bit too self referential, but it might do.

any other ideas?

I been toying with the idea too and finally decided on:

OH KIDZ


Remember the movie. "Vacation" w/ Chevy Chase? There was a scene where Clark (Chevy Chase) and his family were in their 'family-truckster', parked in a fast food drive-in (like A&W). A waitress on shoe skates was bringing their ordered food on a large platter. Prior to the waitress placing the platter of food on the 'half-rolled’ up door glass, Chevy (Clark), while rubbing his hands together said, "OH KIDS!!". Preciously when he finished that one-liner, the waitress placed the platter on the glass and it shattered with everything falling!

That 'one-liner' stuck with my family - brothers, sisters, and even mom & dad. Matter of fact, it carried on to all of my kids. Now, my
1st granddaughter is saying it.

EVERYTHING that looks appealing gets the 'OH KIDS" approval.......

This is from the Corvette Forum I used to hang out on but is still a very comprehensive list of all kinds of plate ideas. Well over 6000 of them...

I'm off the thinking that I prefer the plates to be personal rather than about the car. Personally, I can't stand the ones they say exactly is on the trunk lid.

Mine are personal and say something about me (or relating to me).

Thought of "NO KIDS" since our daughter is launched . . .

Also, if your state needs front plates, thought RVO VOM would be kind of neat . . .
(I saw R3VO 3VOM on a euro plate on the wall in a dentist's office last week)

+1 with Dell, I prefer the personal plates that says a little something about the nut behind the wheel.

I'm a huge art fan, so my plate expresses that: MODART. We've got a porsche owner in town, a 964 I think, that has an awesome plate : HUBRIS. lol

I think most people on the road see the car and probably know its a 911, so be creative.

Had an old friend with "QUICKEE" on his nearly 9-second '66/67 roadster 'vette. He lived up to the name on the streets.

Funny, I went AWAY from the personal plate info, as I only get one for the fun car. Mine helps reduce the number of times I HAVE to hear asked.."So..what year is it?" ""Is that a 911?" "Is that a 997?" "2 wheel or 4 wheel drive?"

I now avoid the vanity, or enviornmental tags....I think they invite discouraged non-owners to vandalize / key your car

Remember Kramer's plate in Seinfeld? How about ASSMAN ?

You don't even have to be a proctologist.

My plates have been DENDRMR, TEMPO (In various states) and my current one is WELLARD.



Prize for the sad person that understands what the first one is.
