I'm glad somebody else gets the irony of taking the badge off and immediately putting it back on in the form of a vanity plate!

Vanity plate has been on for years and the badge came off cause it was damaged on the weekend. Tried at the DMV for a while to get the proper plate and as luck would have it 911cab s was available. My last Porsche had a vanity tag that said "62 356 s". I dont know bout irony.

Did you think I put the tag on after removing the badge?

I don't need it for any superficial reason; I like having the script because it has been there ever since the first one in 1964. If you don't like that look, then that's your thing, but let's not make it any more than it is.

As far as vanity plates go (also to lighten the mood a bit ), I don't have them but considered getting these (which are still available....go figure):

Me, I'm too cheap to pay for a vanity plate (unfortunately, my cheapness has not rubbed off on my wife).
Reminds me of the Merkur XR4TI that Ford Germany built back in the 80's.
