New front tag.

I just put a new front licence plate on my 300D. Also put one on my 500SEL. Both say the same thing, "My Other Car Is A Benz". Tags locally made and cost me $5.00 each. Cant wait to see what kind of responses I get, if any.

You should have had them say "" My other car is also a Benz"

Mine says "Texas" across the top and "The Lone Star State" along the bottom with a combination of numbers and letters in between.

Hmmm......same as the back! Or is it the other way around?

Now that's that's *really* a good one!!! LMFAO!!!

Perfect on a W126 diesel. Just gotta love it.

You couldn't slip that one past the PC Nazis at the California DMV in a million years. Oh you Missiissipians and your sledgehammer subtlety

Here's one I saw in SF on a Ferrari (later went to a BMW 740 in SoCal)

"IXLR8 CU" Great for a big MB diesel. Perfect for the irony too.

Hey, I've got the same plates too. Trying to figure out if they're the same as the back or if it's the other way around too.

Do you have the "newer" state plates with the space shuttle and cowboy in the upper corners?

Just remember, if you are standing in front of a car headed to Texas, and you are in Nebraska facing north, the steering wheel is on the right and the front license plate is on the back of the car. And if the car runs over you and you land on your back, everything stays the same. But if you fall on your face, the steering wheel moves back to the left.

Leno had a starlet on his show yesterday and she said his California Vanity plate said (TV DOC) as he plays a Doctor on a TV show but the License plate frame had dollar signs $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$i
all the way around the license plate frames

I used to have a front license plate with aa lightning bolt and the solgan
"HERE COMES TROUBLE" BUT

it lasted a week and some #$%^&^%$# stole it off my car!! What can you expect in San Francisco anyhow??

Fun thread.

I used to have a tag that said "Blondes Wanted." Never got a response.

Then I got one that said "Honk if you are blonde and can read this." Still no response!!!
