Most folks won't get it, but I like it!

Tobra 02-07-2025 01:32 PM

Nice color

A930Rocket 02-07-2025 01:33 PM

Probably not, especially nowadays

I just want you to know that if someone strategically "Sharpie's" in a "U".....It wasn't me.

I do, however, respect the original message!

This was actually my third choice after Porsche and 86 911. I knew Porsche would be taken, but I was hoping I could get the 86 911 to match my buddies 86 930 plate.

When I got the letter acknowledging the plate, they had PTINS written and I figured anybody looking at it quickly would think PENIS ! lol

A little obtuse, tbh. I've been a Porsche nut for 50 years and I would not get that.

speeder 02-07-2025 05:55 PM

Good old Iris Blue. I was selling those at the dealer in '86.

My Boxster S has a 3.6 engine . My plate says 986S36L .
My 996 C4 has a 3.8 engine . My plate says 996C438.

Just a little fun that is worth the extra $ at the DMV .

Took me a minute, that’s pretty good. I bet 99 out of 100 people will have no idea. If you want to help them out, get one of those “There Is No Substitute” license plate frames.:)

Yeah .... I would see a "PUTINS" Porsche too :D

Points for originality on the plate. Car looks beautiful, post some pics if you can.

Seeing it strikes a chord, God I can't wait to get my car back on the road. Big snow storm tomorrow so months away still.

2005-ish there was a 930 in the work parking lot in Naperville. "NO SUB"

I was clueless until I found the guy and asked. Up until then I was thinking Nitrous?

I like the license plate holder idea.

I got a shirt with that line for being interviewed at a PCA event.

Probably ended up on the cutting room floor, but I still got the shirt.

I’ve got this license plate holder lined up!

Back in the late 70s or maybe early 80s, I had that on a triumph TR6 for a while. One day in traffic, there was a car of big girls behind me, and I thought they were going to jump out and pummel me.😂

No, it’s not going on the car but back on the shelf with all the old license plates.

I'm with OWP. I think a "No Substitute" frame would be fitting. Would explain the TINS to the 99.99999% of people who don't get the reference.
