POLL: Customized Plates on Vehicles

Do you have, or would you ever get, those vanity plates on your vehicle?

DH and I just ordered our new truck, and I'm toying with the idea...

Re: POLL: Customized Plates on Vehicles

I have a professional engineering license, so DH has been bugging me to get plates that say PE on them. I just can't do it, I don't know why. I'm not sure they are tacky, but they just aren't me.

I would never get one. BUT, I have to say I get a kick out of reading the clever ones.

Re: POLL: Customized Plates on Vehicles

We moved to Florida & DH played hockey & luvs the Islanders so I got one for the first time It says :New York Hockey.
DH asked what the plate # was going to be (they give u a temp while u wait for the other) he cringed when I told him I personalized it. Then I told him what it said & he liked it.
Now I want to do something New Yorkish for me Chat Icon

(It is spelt differently on the plate~ didn't want to post the exact lettering~ ya never know)

Re: POLL: Customized Plates on Vehicles

I have a customized plate on the car, since I've customized the car, bring it to car shows,etc. The truck doesn't have special plates. It's much easier to remember custom plates, if you are asked what your plate # is. Sometimes hotels ask so they can give you a parking permit, etc.

It's just a way of expressing yourself. I would hate to have the exact same car as everyone else on the road. I like to be a little different. I don't see much difference between custom plates and bumper stickers, antenna balls, custom license plate frames, etc.

I ordered them, not my DH. I really wanted WYZ2MUV, but DH thought that wouldn't go over so well if we got pulled over for something. Chat Icon

I just told DH the other day that we could dump the vanity plates.

I don't think they are tacky but I do think they're kinda silly. Unless you can really come up with something very clever!

Re: POLL: Customized Plates on Vehicles

as a kid I always wanted one-- I thought they were very cool. Now, I probably would not do it. Although- it's a great way to remember what your license # is!

Re: POLL: Customized Plates on Vehicles

nah...i don't really like them.

i never understood getting your license on your car...for example DDS, etc. i don't see the point except to let everyone know you're a doctor?? maybe i should i put PhD on my plates...just to give people something to talk about Chat Icon

If it was free, or cheap I'd do it. But it's way too expensive for me to justify it.

I wanted one so badly when I was younger, but my father wouldn't let me b/c he felt that someone could easily remember my plate and stalk me Chat Icon

Yeah, the ones I'd want it would be 70.00 a year, I just checked the DMV site. Because of course if I was going to do it, I'd get a series plate with the different image, and a custom number/word. I wouldnt go half way, LOL

the problem with the picture plates is that they can only accomodate 6 #s and/or letters, where as a standard NY plate will fit 8 #s and/or letters.
