Question 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?

TIA


85 IXII

or

8CMXI5

Translation

85 911 (Incorrect Roman Numerals, I know)

8 911 5

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

But if you had to choose which one?

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?

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