Noah,

I hope you're kidding that you don't get this!! C'mon, buddy....just read it fast.
Or, try this:rrrrrrrnnNNNN rrrrrrnnNNNNN (like when you rev the throttle-get it?). Now, go practice in a C43... :cool:

That plate cracked me up, as did Larry's...Larry, did you get this plate?!?

Still laughing... :D :D :D

I think there is actually a website for this topic. I don't know the URL though. One of my favorites is "RED LIN" or "REDLINE" or "RED LINE" or something in that manner.

Did someone mention my handle?

I was going to get SLVRBL on my 85 380SE. My 5 year-old daughter calls her Silver Belle. The great state of Texas wants $40/year for personal plates. Seems kind of ridiculous to pay that much for something so silly.

I've lived in 2 states that statutorily require front plates (CA and OR), but have NEVER had front plates on my cars and NEVER been stopped for it(10+ years??; nice thing w/MBZ (at least w/the W124 series), you can get the bumper piece for the front that makes a smooth bumper all the way across (instead of the "plate" bumper--run about $125. --Mitch

Quite a few states have the rule for front plates in their books and hardly any of them enforce it.
New York enforces it, trust me on this! :)

They enforce in CA and OR, but cannot pull you over and write a citation solely for not having one (similar law to seat belts). They have to pull you for a qualified reason, then can legally issue belt, plate, etc tix. And the plate ticket is a fix-it here in CA, so you slap it on, have an officer sign your ticket, mail in $10 and promptly remove it lest you enjoy accumulating photo radar penalities. In fifteen years years I've had one fix-it (combined with a speeding) and two or three "Son, this state requires front license plates - why don't you run home and put it on" type comments in parking lots, etc.

CT requires a front plate, which I've yet to mount on either car. However, I've not been nailed for it even once.

Alain V, how about "8YOR M5". this would apply to the CLK 55 that is promised to be delivered in dec. my partner has an M5 and we will see, at the track of course, if that is accurate. that plate would cause severe emotional pain in him several times a day...

Once I saw a " CYALTR " as in "see ya later" on a Dodge Viper. Hehe

Saw an Acura NSX with NSXTASY on the plate. Driven by an good looking blonde woman in a VERY short skirt.
I happened to be driving my truck that day (4 Runner, quite high up) in the lane to the right of this car. If you have ever looked down on an NSX, the interior is very visible from above. Very visible. I can say that plate was telling the truth.
Nice car too.

For an E-Class, another good plate would be "E-MOTION".

vanity plates are cheesy!!!! Come on guys....might as well go all out and get something like: 2RICH4U

akry 10-06-2000 02:00 AM

Go all the way out can bring some un-expected reactions from other ppl. I have seen a W140 with "Mr.Benz" plate, and wonder what he got?? Smashed windshields, punched out tires, broken exterior lights, bend/dent doors, and of course, good old bended/missing emblems...
