Wink Need help with vanity plate name

I am going into pay the tax man next week & register the new Turbo. Does anyone have any ideas for a vanity plate.
I had VIPR KLR for my ZO6 & 4S 4 FUN on the Carrera 4S. Don't wany anything offensive. Something fun, any ideas would be appreciated.

these are always fun threads. "vanity" plate, seeing as its a p-turbo, maybe something like UNVME to be read as "you envy me"

on second thought, that might not be such a good idea, what with haters and all.. maybe something in german??

Rather than a vanity plate as described (always borders on 'ricer' IMHO), does the Ohio RMV offer any special plates where a portion of the proceeds go to a charity, non profit, etc?

Here in MA, we have several to chose from.

FWIW, we went with Mass Animal Coalition (wife is a longtime dog owner, herds of Saint Bernards roam the yard) and my daughter went with Red Sox/Jimmy Fund

Coming up with something good can be a long process...I thought about mine for months before deciding.

If you can't come up with something you really like, just wait till next year.

Hiy guy,

Vanity plates are a very personal decision that reflect your personality and personal tastes. Only you know best. I have the regular plates on my car because they are simple and don't detract from the car itself. Give it some time, you'll come up with something.

BLUBYOU

When I renew my 996TT in New Jersey - that's what I'm going with. Given that your car is Blue - Seems to fit.

I saw one with "I8A4RE" (I ate a Ferrari).
Also saw a killer license plate cover, with this inscription:
"My other car is a Ferrari, but I was in a hurry today".
Mine says "RENN MD" (RENN: Racing, thus racing MD-I'm an orthopod)
Two downsides: Everyone and their mother asks me what it means, and they know I'm a doctor (not good in our litigious society).
Been thinking about changing it to "DB9KLR" just for fun, as there's another orthopod in town with a DB9 (and we don't really like each other that much).
Good luck with yours!

a very long time ago i saw a red 930 turbo cab, gold bbs rims. the guy driving looked very similar to the vallet guy who went for the joyride in the ferrari in "ferris bulluers day off". the plate on this 930 read " EX CON"

i laughed my a$$ off.

The way I drive, I want a plate that is NOT memorable....

("Hi, 911?... There was this blue sports car- passed me at like 150mph with a license plate that said MISSLE....")

I had IXLR8 on a Vette a few years back. One of my favorites for a TT is ENZOWHO. STIL L8 is cool too.

Default Vanity Plate

Mine (not a turbo, but saw this post) took a different note: "Race for the Cure"...

To difuse all of the "he must be compensating" and "another ***** in a porsche" jokes, I've always wanted to get a plate that says "TINY PP". I think it's a hilarious idea, my wife begs to differ.
