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.

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.

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.

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. |

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.
