Personalized Plates arrived today!
  so after 10 years, 300K on the clock and always wanting to personalize plates but just NEVER coming up with something that i really liked. i FINALLY came up with one that i really like, ISNT obnoxious, kinda stealth, ONLY 911 lovers would really get it, but is crystal clear. i got em today! I was really shocked to see that it was still available but i got it especially with all the banter between all the air-cooled and new p-cars, but sure enough, there it was...... opinions, what do you guys think of this plate? (be nice)  alexander |

I love it. Subtle vanity plates are the best kind. Of course, I would like it... I have a 993. :-)

300K !!!!! Man, you have '83 MB 300TD beat. It "only" has 219,000.
Anyways, there are 2 ideas I had for vanity plates. One is my log on name S2TGART, the other would RVO-VUM. Someone sees this in their rear view mirror, it would read MUV-OVR (move over) Of course this would only work if I actually mounted the front plate on my car.

That's very nice! Nobody will get that but the people that have to. It is almost cryptic for everyone else. That's good!
I can't believe that the DMV charges a yearly fee for personalized plates. Yes, to get it initially - custom made at folsom - it should cost money, but why would they charge yearly? There is no extra cost involved by storing a personaized number / letter combo over a regular? It should be even quicker to run it for the cops!  That's the reason why I never went for a personalized plate until I had to bite the bullet and take over a pretty lame blue plate from the PO on a 71 I bought last year. Retaining the blue plate is more important than the yearly fee, even if it is highway robbery! George |

What does everyone have to pay for personalized plates. Here in CT, it's $90 on top of you registration. I don't recall if there is an additional yearly fee.

You're lucky to have gotten the opportunity to pick your plate.
I was lucky (I guess) on the other hand of having a family with a sense of humor. They caught me watching old movies one night a few years ago and decided vanity plates would be a great XMAS present. When I first saw them I had to laugh and thought they would look nice on the garage wall but... I was advised that they were real and my registration required me to immediatley put them on the car.....  I'm careful what I get caught watching from now on.....

$41 for bubba to make it at Folsom and another $30 a year for renewal. Some other states don't have renewal. They even charged me $41 for the transfer of an existing personalized plate. Doh!

I just went ot the CT DMW website and they have a feature where can type in your ideas for plates and it will tell you right away if it's available. I came up with another one, ATOBON. Here in CT we are limited to 6 letters or numbers or combo of both. Also numbers have to be seperated by a dot. "PREH20" is available here in CT, but it would have to look like this PREH-20.
