Would you use this Lic. Plate?

We finally rec'd our plates for the Touareg (almost three months to the day ). Both the wife and I were raised in fairly strict religious environments, but neither of us practice any religion at this time. My reaction was fairly mild in that I was surprised that the CA DMV didn't filter the "666"'s out. However, my wife is very adamant that this plate will not go on the car.



We had been talking about getting a personalized plate, so after receiving this one and seeing her reaction, it was kind of a no brainer. Here's what I have ordered:



It's kind of a VW thing, but what do you think? I know our dealer will love it, especially since we have purchased four vehicles from them in less than three years.

I've heard of the DMV filtering out swear words on license plates, but never numbers. I don't know: at least your "bedeviled" plate would be easy to remember - or at least half of it would be easy to remember. That'd be one reason to keep it

What's the second plate mean?

"Phaeton Next" - which indicates our next purchase (we can dream).

Here it is:

That is pretty obtuse, I doubt that one person in 10,000 would be able to decipher it.

As for the 666, there are plenty who would love to have it, (Ozzy/Sabbath fans, etc.), I'm sure that you could auction it on ebay and get a different #.

Between effen..Q..A and 666, that would be easy to remember!

I like the eBay Idea and can't believe I hadn't thought of that! I wonder how that would work? If I sold it and had the buyer show up at the DMV at the same time I pick up our plate, he/she could take it and register it right there?

I don't know about Kahleeeforneeah, but in Nevada, if you had the plate's owners' permission, and BOTH of the plates, yes, you can re-register them. A lot of 'Blue Plates' in Nevada are 'sold' that way. The plates go with the person. I suspect that it might be with the car in Calif.

As Obi Wan said: the Force can influence the weak minded.
Its only numbers. Any evil attached is in your mind.
The wife & I were following a van one day which had a plate which read: CCM 069. I mused whether the driver sold bicycles. The wife shot back,"If he does, he won't scr*w you!"

I was thinking you were saying something like V8next - some reference to the Porsche model.

The local P-card dealer here in NoVa has a phone number that has a 666 in it. A conspiracy? (703.684.6660)

666????! Good grief, there's an entire telephone exchange in Westwood, NJ where all of the numbers are (201) 666-xxxx.

Get a grip.
