Was in Bremerton til recently, just have not changed plates yet as these are still good and job is about to take me to Ol'Miss soon. Family is in Ga.,so I am hanging out with them for a while.

Surely. And indeed. Back before the insanity of work precluded ever going to anything fun any more.

Perry...nice to see you here, where have you been?

PS - my NJ plate is LAST968

1of100 (mine as I had a 924 Sebring d production car, Porsche made 400 in the world and brought 100 into the USA)

MERDE (it means s*** in French) some one got creative and got it passed the censors in the early 1980's before they had computers to translate those comments

just thought of this one its yours if you want it

RUJELLUS

OR

RUJELOUS

VRYFAST

My 968 is merely:

968M030

My M5 Touring (Wagon) is (plate waiting to be picked up from DMV):

RLE HOLS

just reading this story on the topic of customized plates, found it rather amusing and though I'd share <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.png" class="smilie" alt="" /> : http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/d-c...13724.html

One I had 20+ years ago when I bought my 911 was NOSUB.

But one of the better ones I seen was on a Pinto K BOOM

my plate HOT968

The story reminds me of someone who had a plate that read "I FORGET", so if a cop called it in and dispatch asked for the plate, the cop would say "I Forget".



Another good one was a neighbor when I was in Law School that had a Fiat X19 with the plate "COGNITO", so, when she was driving, she could say she was "in cognito".



Then there was the Bentley I saw driven by a high-maintenance blond with a plate reading "IM KEPT".



I once tried to get "TIHZ YO", but after first o.k.ing it, the DMV changed its mind and sent my check back. What does "TIHZ YO" mean, you may ask? If I came up from behind and you looked in your rear view mirror, it would read "OY S***" (I had first tried "TIHZ HO" but the DMV computer said no. I then figured it didn't speak Yiddish and went for the "OY" instead of the "OH".



My current plate (as seen to the left) is "CPTRIPS" for Captain Trips, Jerry Garcia's nickname on the first Grateful Dead album.

P.S. I didn't write "S***", The site changed it!

Not that I'm a criminal, but I've always thought that a vanity plate might allow someone to easily identify you leaving the scene! Jealouse boyfriend, angry husband, enraged father, disappointed priest.

Rap, "disappointed priest" would not fall in that same category, the subject would be too young to drive...



Boo, hisss,.. Yeah, yeah, I know ..

Oh good Lord. You must be a pagan! Anything your not supposed to do disappoints your priest! You need to uplift your mind out of my gutter! Lol

No traffic here in a while, so for what it's worth...



My volvo's tag is "83 Brick"

and my 968's tag that is on order is "Rare 968"



I actually had to explain to the nice DMV lady what it meant. Just because it says it is available on the website, you still have to 'splain it when you get there. I guess if the think it's dirty you can't have it.

ZUFENHSN on my early 92 coupe. North Carolina lets us have eight digits so a lot of possibilities. Love vanity plates.

I recently heard about a vegetarian cook who was turned down for her chosen vanity plate proclaiming her love for tofu as "I(heart symbol)tofu". Some of those DMV people really have dirty minds!

Ha, that's funny.



Incidentally the DMV's "right" to ban anything at all on license plates is still being fought in courts all over the country and decisions vary from one state to the next, or even from one appellate court to another, in the same state. Eventually this issue might end up in front of the US Supreme Court..though it would be interesting to see if they agree to hear arguments on the matter, or just let the states and plaintiffs continue to fight it out. Interesting that you can have anything written on a bumper sticker, no matter

how offensive or ( of course you don that at your own risk, LOL ) but the State claims that letting you do that on a license plate constitutes an endorsement of your message by them, and thus they can have complete control over it.

lol - actually, you can't. there are very real and appropriate limitations to what you can say in public. free speech is not the freedom to say anything. it is the freedom to voice an opinion. that does not mean that you can use profanity. it does not mean you can be libelous. it does not mean you can yell "fire" in a crowded theater (every law student knows that one).



as for plates, i've said this before. why miss a great chance to be clever or original, or saying something about yourself or your life, and waste that chance by restating the obvious about the car? it's just so blase
