In VA, every conceivable religious vanity plate seems to have been taken, so I figured I would get 'LV GGGG S' Since it only costs an extra $10, YNOT?

Only 6 in Texas

Being limited to only 6 characters on a plate in TX really cramps my style. When I lived in New Mexico the plates on my '68 California Special were: CALI4NA. The plates on my '70 Cougar Eliminator were: ELIMN8R

A friend of mine had GR8 D8 B8 on his limited ford explorer. Cheesy, but funny.

edit - had to put the spaces in there or it would insert an icon. Makes it easier to understand as well

I'm always tinkering with my 1970 Mustang Mach One and my girlfriend bought me a set of vanity plates a few years ago as a joke:

KLUNKR

Some people get the joke when they see a nice looking Mach One with those plates, others like to make comments like "Ya its a Ford" etc.

But thats ok with me. Besides, if I took them off Lara would be REALLY ticked off and I can put up with comments from the uneducated peanut gallery if it keeps my other half happy

Yeah we are members here too.
I also teach Montana Hunter Safety Education classes, so I really don't like that license plate.

These are some ideas that I'm working on after my lift:

GOTLIFT

GETTINHI

GOINGUP

GOTHIGH

ADRENLIN

I had a friend at work that actually had MUFDIVR from Chich and Chong. That always got a laugh, a thumbs up, or a look of disgust.

It's not a tax, it's a choice you are free to make - or not. If I wasn't spending the 77 cents a week on the plates, I'd probably be blowing it on booze and wild women.

In Alaska you only get 6 spots.

I wanted 4 PLAY on my F-150

My buddy has a nice Ram 150 built up and is blue. He tried to get BLUEOX but its taken.

Seen on a Porsche NVMYAS

I'd like TREKLR , BNYKLR, or RED OX for my Ram.

How about DMVSUX. I think DMV employees would get a kick out of that.

One guy in NH had HCYF foir a while. They recalled it.

I saw UPIHWI on a BMW in Mass recently...wonder if they'll ever figure it out.

I'm also stuck with six letters--I wanted BLWNAMC or BLWN401 for my Gremlin. I may go with HAFCAR, or possibly 15PSI.

My former boss has a Spirit R/T, and the plate is I8AV8. That says it all.

When I raced I had a plate on my 93 Mustang that said UBNSKLD (You've Been School'd).
I wish that I still had that car... Kids today don't know how it feels to ride in a car that makes 750 hp at the rear wheels...
