Sorry if this is to far off topic but other than the Hot rods forum I don;t know where to post this. I want to get a private plate. My frined just got one for his 96 Mustang GT , that reads "BADABING1". if anyone is familiar with hte Sopranos you'll know what the plate means. Well that plate is perfect for my friend as he is almost exactly like Tony Soprano. I am curious as to waht would be a good plate for a benz. I havew seen a E55 wit ht he plate VETTKLLR, as in Vett Killer. I was thinking of SlVR STR "silver star" or maybe BADYBENZ. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

an interesting problem you have.

i have some names but no such car.

VLVTHAMR - as in "velvet hammer"; a term used for cars like the Ferrari 456GT which is described as a race car under a thin layer of velvet; also a name play on the AMG Hammer brand; not too readable though (if you are not limited to 8chars then you could improve on it)

BIGSTICK/BIGSTIK - "speak softly and carry a big stick", as in TORQUE, which the E55 is endowed with

i'm sure others will come up with suggestions also ...

Why not stick a Europlate up front rather than a Mickey Mouse license plate? Make the car look authentic, not fake.

Hey, Greasil, is that Washington STATE or DC? I guess your friend must have created a lot of terrific fantasies for the men driving the same commute. She probably did a lot to calm potential road rage. Gotta love that!

...Because he lives in New York and WE have to have American plates up front at all times Putting a german plate underneath it will look even more fake.

Capt
...There are some great plates in the NY area. How about "DNT BOTHR" for all the Honda people out there who might feel alittle frisky when they see you. Is there a website you can check to see if someone hasn't used your idea?

We are allowed up to eight characters (spaces included) on a Liberty plate and up to six on a "picture" plate. Liberty plates are the standard issue NY plates with the statue of liberty on it.

Only six characters here in CT. I've taken to naming my cars, and since I plan on having my 500E for a good long time I decided to give it a plate with its name..."BLTZEN". This in honor of the Blitzen Benz that set the world land speed record in 1910 at 143 MPH (228 kph). Guy driving musta had some stones, eh (pardon the reference)?? Was probably driving on dirt, and I doubt his helmet was Kevlar.

Blitzen, as I understand it, means Lightning in German. For a 500E, it only seemed appropriate IMHO.

All the best, Michael

On my wife's 500e , I've been thinking about;
"8YUR M3" (Ate your M3 .)

My FFR cobra plate reads, "UNREAL".....
Funny thing is that I still get asked , "Is it real?," constantly.

Hm...that's interesting....

Here are what I might go for if I have a E55...

"2Slow4U" "It Bites" ....and of course, my favourite(for a plate on exotic cars), "Viagra"...

How about "Q-CAR"??? It is a British expression for "understated" automobiles, such as BMW M5, M-B AMG E55, etc. I *think* the "Q" references to Q, that inventor in the 007/James Bond movies that build gadgets and machines that are a *little* more than they appear to be.
