What's on your vanity license plate?

Maybe this has been done before, but as a newbie, I'm curious to know what you've put on your vanity license plate. Is it the name of your MINI?
I dont have a vanity plate but I get a kick out of reading everyone else's!

"F-15", which IS Rodan's name in a somewhat convoluted way! I'll try and get a pic into the gallery.

I dont have my mini yet.. but I have custom plates on my vw golf.

PHAT18T

my car is debaged, so i wanted VW people to know it was a 1.8t, but A 4 door 1.8t, they only made 1500 in 2000 and where spiecle (sp?) order only in 2001. VW doesnt make 1.8t four door golf any more.. plus she has a big booty so she's PHAT!


im have a few picked out for my MINI, but i'll wait to get it, so i can pick out the one that feels the best with for it

Just got my plates, not vanity.

These came straight from the New Jersey MVC.

I am still shocked at how many comments and questions I get about this plate. The typical is "what does it mean". Occasionally, I'll get just a compliment from someone who gets it.

The funniest part is watching the people behind me at a light talking about it and trying to sound it out

That's from the BMV website a while back. If you go there and try to find a vanity plate and it's available it'll create you one of those. I've got the new design...

they must have updated recently.

oplates.com uses the new style "sunrise" plate with the option of using a specialty plate (colleges, veterans, etc.)


i'm still wating for my new ones, it turned into a $120 excursion to get plates for my car this time...

Renewed drivers licence - $20
Ohio E-Check - $20
Ohio Vanity Plates + Registration - $80

Having the governemnt drain your bank account for the most ignorant registration fees - Priceless

I have always wanted to do just what you did!! L's, I's, and 1's to confuse the poop out of someone trying to write down your plate number.

2 thumbs up..


I'll throw mine up here too...

I always wanted to see if I could get "4nk82nt"

but I don't know if it would pass muster. Knowing the average skill level of the DMV worker here in CA, it probably would pass!
