Which Lincense Plate

I need to register the '74 911 for the first time.

In NC you are allowed to choose a personalized number for your plate...

Max 8 digits

I have a lot of ideas... which one would u go for?

Have you been to the DMV website to verify that all of them are available?

No one seems to be able to tell a large case "i" to the number "1".

Just use your Pelican "user name" so we know who you are on the street or at a meet.

My plate says "kach22i" in large case letters.

CA DMV now explicitly forbids homoglyphs.

Homoglyph
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



In typography, a homoglyph is one of two or more characters with shapes that are either identical, or cannot be differentiated by quick visual inspection. This designation is also applied to sequences of characters sharing these properties

Haha! My thoughts exactly.

I like my plate. Probably not taken in your hood since it was available here.

Better than that would be" I4GOT" that way, if an officer is pursuing you, and he calls base for backup, and they ask him the plate number, he'll have to respond, "I forgot."

Yuck, yuck.

None. I'm not a fan of personalized licence plates. They make your car easy to remember and a target in some cases. Being anonymous is a good thing.

+1 Vote for the 'standard issue'.

You KNOW everyone laughs at the guys driving with the: REDVETT, MYHUMMR, AVET2NV,
MY911, AMIL8, FLUBYU...etc...etc. They are called Vanity Plates for a reason I.M.O.
