Vanity Plates

Sign in to disble this ad
Just wondering if anyone had bass-related vanity plates for their vehicles. I'm thinking about getting one, and would like to see any ideas.

I've always threatened to do this one:

B E A D G C

...or, if I'm feeling obnoxious:

Q Q Q Q

(no it's not bass-related, but I like it anyhow! )

In 1987 I had the only Maryland vanity tag reading

PRE CBS

For my little old Ford Ranger.

I've probably got it somewhere in storage, but I have no idea where.

I don't think I would ever get vanity plates.

There is a lot more appeal for me to see a high end vehicle with standard plates rather than vanities.

The whole vanity plate deal ruins it for me unless they are something clever like "3M TA3"

Say it out loud, that may help...

I may have to "borrow" that for an NC plate, with your permission of course!

Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane / Dukes of Hazzard?

Personally, I'd never bother w/ a vanity plate; but of ones I've seen, my fave has to be "BEER". I bet he gets pulled over a lot!
My other fave-this is always parked down the street from me- "P EWE"

The second idea would be right at home on a NYC vehicle

My uncle had a regular plate that read 2FN SLO.
Sadly, he didn't reregister the plates in time, so it just hangs in his office now.
