Custom Plate, which one should I pick?
 

I just got my notification that the DMV has both of my Custom Plates.

Which one should I keep?

85 IXII

or

8CMXI5

Translation

85 911 (Incorrect Roman Numerals, I know)

8 911 5

Honestly...neither.

I have to agree.

I was afraid of that. That is why I did not post a 3rd option "neither". Thanks for the input though :D

But if you had to choose which one?

None of the above

The middle one.

Oh no, I guess I deserve this, LOL :D

Well, 911 is CMXI

Both are a bit confusing, too many idiots on the road would get brain freeze trying to figure them out.

Jim, if you want "8 911 5", why don't you just get that? It's available. Roman numerals are too confusing.

Last I looked, "vanity" was not a virtue but a vice.

Hey Steve!,

I tried that, but once you go to the next step to pay, it is not available. Very retarded gov system. Thanks Brother!

I am leaning toward 8CMXI5, subtle and doesn't appear to be a vanity plate.

What? You plan on paying extra to get the State of California out of debt?

Hell, I got to be a good citizen you know :)

I'd get "neither". That'll really confuse them!

And then get a tattoo of the word "TATTOO."

Neither are very clever so I say neither!

Yup, I vote for Neither. It's a good one. The best choice by far. . .d

Jeez give the guy a break. I vote number 1.

85IXII would be my choice. Hey it's your car, your money. I wanted Germania for mine but too many letters.....

C) None of the above. (hey, you asked)

Hey, I have Roman numerals.

They are only confusing to non-Romans.

See if you can get NONE on your plate. If they try to ticket you for speeding or parking violation, the authorities may think the vehicle had no plate & they won't know who to charge...

jlex.

I immediately thought (c) too ;)

You actually gave me the idea of 85 IXXI, do alot of people give you grief about the incorrect roman numerals?

No, most people don't even know.
They ask me what it means, and I have to explain the middle year Porsche part.
That makes me look like an expert.

When it comes to being wrong about the numeral sequence, nobody knows the difference.

I would like VIIV IXXI. Too many spaces, but it balances well.
Soon enough they will have to have eight.
