I was driving by in the Italian area up here and I saw a new 911 and a new E320 station wagon on the driveway. Plates read "CAR3" and "CAR4".
So there.

Well, since everyone is contributing to this thread, I thought I also would add my tidbits...

On a Porsche 911 I had many years ago I had the plate SIX-PAK, you know six cyl and beer!

My father at the age of 74 drove a Corvette with the plate NAUGHTY. How fitting.

My last vanity plate was HAVTAGO, taken many ways. My son now has it on his M3.

The best I've seen belonged to a friend of mine and he won a contest at Road&Track was 6ULDV8...or sexual deviate.

I agree about not to have one to remember, for ticket resistance and use 10100110 or l1ll11l1 or 0o00oo0o. Mix it up so the bears can't remember...do they? Try -/!-.1o? That should confuse the best of them!!

My mom had "NotMink" on her 84 VW Rabbit she had years and years ago. Seemed very fitting. hehe

There wasa story severla years ago about someone with that plate. A 280z As I recall. Anyway, when meter maids cite a car with out a plate on it, they typed in "No Plate". You see where this is going right? He ended up with thousands of dollars in unpaid citations and a huge head ache. He ended up giving up the plate.

Jim B, years back I saw a red Ferrari(don't remember model) with California plates that read "FERRARI". This was on one of the main streets in Glendale.

Unfortunately we cannot request anything in the Netherlands...

The coolest plate I ever saw in europe was BAD 130 Y on a British Benz; In the United Kingdom they generally get plates with 3 letters, 3 numbers and 1 letter again. This combination wrote BAD BOY on the plate...

Does anyone know whether I can request something as well when I bring my car to the states as a non-resident?

greetingz,

Tough question MBenz.

I think that will depend on your State of temporary residence. Depending on what State you call home for the year or so, you may have to pass a smog inspection if you intend to register it, which your Euro car may not pass. You may just have to keep your NL tags on the car, and expect to explain your registration at odd times to the nice men in blue uniforms (or green, or tan or ...).

If you have the means, you could buy another car here in the States and put vanity plates on that one. Then import it back to NL when you leave. It's probably easier taking one out of country than it is bringing one in.
