Vanity Plates

Do any of you have vanity plates on your trucks? I have vanity plates on my 2012 charger but undecieded on getting them for truck. If you have them what do you have? I thought about getting I8AHEMI but since it is not a gasser I don't think that it would be to suiting.

I had an extended E350 that was white. It had a Florida Save the Whales plate that read MOBEY because the van was known as Moby Van. Someone else already had MOBY so I had to add an "e."

The original Mustang I had had "GDDYUP" on the plate. Fast forward 10 years and the Mustang I bought last year wears "GDDYUP2". So, my 08 F250 wears "GDYUPXL".

Some may think it's gay but that's fine. I enjoy it so I could care less what anyone else thinks.

I had 1slo6oh because I'm about the only 6.0L on the road without a tuner, but I got rid of them because everyone thought it said "1 slow 60 h"

My 92 LX reads FIVE-O...

My buddys a cop, he busted out laughing when I lifted the garage door, to show him my new plate...lol He has a pretty sweet 86 Mustang.

My Jeep plate reads ERNHT88...This one tends to get me out of the race track pretty quickly.

Yesterday on the ride into work I saw a 2500hd with a big MACK logo stuck (large chromed letters) above the grill on the bottom of the hood. Sorry but no 3/4 or 1 ton is a MACK whether Chevy, Dodge, or Ford. Sorry but a lot of the "cosmetic" upgrades people do are just laughable. Think about this, when you go to one of those car nights at a local restaurant or someplace the good old 50-70's hotrods don't have goofy looking "mods". They have sharp paint jobs and dress up the engine compartment and interior. People try so hard to get the car back together with OEM parts. Not some bling or other goofy parts. I for one think the factory does a real good job.

Vanity plates can be real good but most are, well, dumb. I can't remember the plate but a guy who owned a septic business had funny plates for his trucks. Obviously something regarding what that business takes care of like STINKY1. Funny and very good marketing.

I have my last name on all plates on the cars with different digits after. Never put one on truck as it is used for garbage hauls and did not want my name going with such loads.

What ever works for you.

The last Aircraft Carrier I served on during my 21 years of Active Duty in the Navy was the Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71.

My Montana Plates are Navy Veteran plates with "CVN-71"
I have had many people stop and chat with me because of the plate. I like it.

An example of a good use of vanity plates.

To each their own. I tried once to get a plate that read 3VOM (move backward), but the state rejected it.

What state is it? You might have thinking guys working at DMV.
Here in California a guy made vanity plate "BLANK".
In 10 months he got about 180 parking tickets with license plate filed blank.

I'm with you. I like some "enhancements" within reason, most are functional though (window tint, headlight upgrade to 05-07 style on 2 of my XL's, etc). I like the clean factory look with a thing or two to set it apart from the crowd, but some of these things on the road look like they crashed into a pep boys store and got a bunch of crap stuck to them on the way out the back wall.

There's a guy in Montana that has TRDTAXI on one of his septic trucks. The guy is a marketing genius and a true businessman, and has built a multi-million $ operation with nothing more than his brain, ambition, and honest hard work. Name of his septic company is Little Stinkers, his tree co is Arbor Medic. I'd love to put vanity plates on all my work trucks, creative type plates that would promote my business and get attention, but MN doesn't allow vanities on anything over 10k lbs.
