I did see a guy in a Pontiac Solstice with personalized plates - "ENVYME". Whatever! I don't care what kind of car you are driving, anyone with that license plate is full of sh**.

Back in high school there was this mercedes cab in our area, nice car but her license plate was

IM4U2NV

Needless to say, there were multiple key marks down her sides.

I have a lot of fun with mine FAST911 most people get it some ask what does that mean. Let's face it the 993 has become more beautiful with age and is about as subtle as a set of 36D's partially exposed. My car is a 98 S Met Black it gets more attention now than when it was new. If ignorant people are going to be green eyed the car will do that on it's own not the plates.

Is this the hottest 911 (993) license plate? Take a look at the air intake/filter...
Sorry for the poor picture quality, it's taken with my cellphone in the garage.

Mine in the USA was -CHI WA- means to have an energy change-have not switched to personal plates in Sweden-but you can-I have small euro plates which look cool by themselves-not many cars have them here-for over seas cars.

Viva La Barbers! (if you'll alow a 964)...

I had MY ROI on my Porsches. I worked hard to be able to buy both of them and it just fit. I don't think I'll put one on my next Porsche though.. as noted above it makes the car more identifiable and the way I drive, I don't need that!

A red Ferrari 430 Spyder in my complex has "WOW"...but seriously, in Hong Kong a red 430 is far from deserving of a "Wow" plate. But the GT1 and Maclaren F1 I saw last Sunday morning certainly are!

If my car is stolen, I wont have a problem remembering the license plate when the police ask.

My plate is "KOAN". One of my students said that he knew the name, but had not seen it spelled that way ( Cohen) LOL. It is a metaphor for driving on the track.
