Default Personalized Plate Input.........

Have 6 options:

1. VROOM X2 -->This is what my 2 year old cars the Porsche cars we have. (i.e., VROOM VROOM)

2. HEADPROF ---> It's my job.

3. IX IX XI or IXIXVI ---> 996

4. 2SYLABLS ---> i.e., the catch phrase Porsche is a "2 Syllable" word.

5. F117#251 --->A tribute to my father's (who lost a battle recently to cancer) last plane and tail number. It's also my DE/Club Race number.

6. Standard Issue

I'm not itching to get a vanity plate but figured I'd look into it as it's only $30 for my plates.

I know you want to make it yours... but vanity plates are a little too much for me...the ONLY one would be the tribute to your father IMO... and I am sorry to hear of the news.

Thanks Ed. I had that plate on my GT3. (see pic)

I agree, sometimes they are a little much. Just toying with the idea. It's just a weekend car anyway.

I voted F117#251

+1 Make it mean something to you, vanity plates on any car are not my thing.

I voted standard issue until I saw what #5 meant.

I like IXIXVI. Very clever, but will others "get it". Does it matter?

I think the p-car crowd gets it.

I had P955 on my Cayenne and not even all the p-car crowd got that!

So far I have only had two people out of hundreds figure mine out right off the bat, without a hint, so I'm moving on from: IMM IVM


Hint 1: The are not "short" for anything, nor are they my initials, nor does it "say" something when mumbled out loud.


Hint 2: Roman numerals


If you are still reading the hints: 1999 996 M is 1000 IMM is 2000 minus 1. IVM is 1000 minus 4. ... if if you still can't get it, then just move on to the next post.
