PS. Save your money.

[Foolish]

What state are you in that you can have that many letters?

Go for ZUUM ZUUM.

I had ZUUUMER when I lived in VA. Vanity tags are waaaay too expensive in GA, so I don't have them now.

No need to be an ass. Edmunds' forums are crap.

Why? I like my AZCAT plate (CX-7), and my ATA2D plate (Miata). $50 a year, divided by 12, is four bucks and change a month. A two-liter bottle of Diet Coke a week, each...yeah, that'll bust me.

I thought about getting a set of plates for my car once, and decided against it. Someone made the point to me that if I were to piss someone off on the road, (drive) a vanity plate would be much easier for them to remember.

In addition, there is the people who will speed up to get close behind you and tailgate you as they read your plate, and try to decipher it.

My mom had a vanity plate she picked out for her first new car, and at stop lights it was always amusing looking in the rear view mirror, watching people mouth the plate, trying to figure it out.

In the end it is all how you wish to express yourself, and an automobile is certainly one way to do just that.

I guess I prefer to remain a little more anonymous as I express myself zooming on the backroads.(drive2)

Keep Zooming!

Hope you feel better, calling me an ass. (uhm)

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but...

Just wondering what plates cost elsewhere? Seems to have a monthly component. Here in Oz we pay a larger up front fee but then the plates are yours for ever. You can even take them off a vehicle and hold them until you have something nice to put them on if you want.

Of course this varies state by state but roughly:

Letters and numbers (CX-007) costs $325 for tin and $425 for plastic
Custom costs $2000 (CX7 or TURBO etc, although most are long gone)
Make plates $3700 (MAZDA, although prob gone too)

Easy on the name calling guys. :)

[Int3grity]

I don't find vanity plates to be a wise investment think about it if you sped on the highway or did anything that to some might be iradic driving hense vanity plate makes you an easier target since they can remember the letters better then random

vanity plates here in Estonia (Europe) cost about $1600 (one time fee)

Up to 8 characters + one number (example: HOTCHICK 2)
And yes, you can save them for later use...

i have RX8 on my turbo rotary rocket and CX7 on my "Grocery Getter"

so shoot me (five-0)

Ouch, that hurts! $1600 ??

Here in Virginia, vanity plates are part of registration and that's only $35 a year. So, if I held onto my CX-7 for 10 years, that's only a $350 investment. And they can be transferred. In my case, though, transferring wouldn't be a good idea. (cool)

YOU CAN ALSO try Sickk 7

[slug420]

anyone saying "save your money" should try being as thrifty with their bandwidth as they apparently are with their money (dont bother posting).

The cost of a vanity plate for someone who wants to get one and who just bought a brand new SUV, is no more an unreasonable financial burden than the 4kb of data required for you to post "save your money" is consuming an unreasonable amount of bandwidth on your internet connection.

and to reply to the OP....how about CX-7

Slug, I agree that showtege's posting is very crass and is in poor taste however, how is is consuming a mere 4k of space and bandwidth for posting an email, pose an "unreasonable financial burden"? To whom, is this a financial burden?

Showtege is certainly entitled to his opinion. The amount of time and effort to compose and enter that opinion into these editing screens is his business. What's happening however, is that you took umbrage to his comments. You're a mod, with considerable authority over what transpires in these forums and you didn't like his comments. So your comments about his use of bandwidth and disk space, misses the point.

I doubt that license plates have any sexual preference at all.

Personally I think if you have a numbered, limited edition vehicle and you know it's number, that would make a good vanity plate.

Boosted03MSP, I'm trying to figure out what is so gay about MSP 928? Care to explain?

Here in Estonia there are also cheaper versions of vanity plates, if you follow the uniform format of 3 numbers + 3 letters (example -123 ABC)

So the plate "928 MSP" or "760 BMW" would cost you something like $400

[cruzdreamer]

Wow...be nice guys...who cares what people spend their money on. Here we just have to have a certain amount of letters and a number and it's just what the regular plate costs...so it's free. Mine is ZACZNE 1....in honor of my Autistic son...."You are in the Zack Zone"...corny, but I don't care!

Gay

[Int3grity]

Draw more attention to yourself using the gayish plates. I would not speed if I where you it would make it too easy to call the cops on your ass.

[AWmustang]

I've called the cops a couple times on drivers who were either drunk or very reckless. They were passing on the shoulder, weaving in and out of traffic, unable to stay between the lines......

And the cops never came. So I don't think that should be a factor. In all of those cases I was able to read off the regular plate just fine anyway.

Yeah but you know what I am talking about random characters are more difficult then a name on a plate.

Yes that's true. As someone mentioned you probably have more to fear from the crazy road ragers than the cops with a vanity plate.

[johnnyB5646]

Why be scared of someone who might not exist. My vanity plate makes me smile and further customizes the car to be yours. Why be PDD 10S when for $50 you could have an eyesore be a centerpiece?

[03promaz]

my friends s/c 04 mach 1's plate it blewbyu

I dont see anything wrong with vanity plates
