Vanity Plates

I want to get vanity Plates when I register my car monday.

So far, I came up with [FAC ID] (Latin: Just Do It). In the off chance they wont allow it, I want to have a back up. They have the plate available, but They might not allow it.

I need ideas fr back up. cant be anything Nissan or Maxima related..anyone wanna help?

Looks like **** It.

Honestly, I think vanity plates are asking for trouble. The last thing I want is my car getting stolen or scratched up because someone doesn't like my plate, especially some ignorant redneck who thinks you're swearing at him.

How about... "EO" (I am going)

I'm kinda partial to mine, and it really doesn't scream that "I'm asking for trouble".

I've had vanity plates for over 10 years now. No trouble whatsoever. There are vanity plates all over the US.

I don't think any of the options listed are good ideas. You need to come up with something that fits on the plate. The stupid abreaviated ones that you can't tell what they say p!ss me off. That is the type that gets you keyed. If you can't think of something good that fully fits on the plate you shouldn't get one just to have one. I got one and it was a no brainer. Mine is Broaner. VQuick's is VQuick.

Do you really think people key cars because of a vanity plate? I'm sure they have many other reasons to do it than what's on your license plates.

From personal experience, I tend to think people with vanity plates are *******es (no offense intended to anyone here). People try to express themselves in 6 letters or less and it ends up being something really stupid.

I once tailgated a couple of hispanic guys in an Integra with the license plate "ASIA", which is just dumb, unless the car was stolen. Then there's a Ferrari I saw parked outside a dentist's office that said "DR BOB", as soon as I read that, I made a snap judgement that the guy was an ******* and that I should take his little 360 Modena was a spin - to show him a lesson. Of course, thanks to my lack of *********, I did nothing.

I like mine because it can make sense to anyone but if you know Nissan cars or the Maxima, you also get the pun about the VQ engine, which we all .

I'm not saying mine is that great a plate, but if you're going to get a vanity plate, don't go half-assed. If you can't come up with a good plate, get a regular one. I always thought it would be cool to get a plate that looked like a regular plate (same format) but had your initials for the three letters, for example, or some inside joke, etc.

I thought about getting RED MAX or MAX-WEL (my son's name is Maxwell) but Oregon raised all of the fees, so I cheaped out and just got the Crater Lake plates with nothing on them.

I also considered VE-POWR and VE-MAX (Oregon only allows 6 digits). I don't know about a Max without a VE engine. Same type of stuff, but with VQ?

I like VQUICK, BTW.

You can't offend anyone without their permission. I think people that have vanity plates are stating their personal expession. We don't have to understand what's on the plate because it is not on our cars so why worry about it?

Umm, I'm not the one that suggested that.

Its seven letters. I do agree that it must be a full word or very close to a full word. Its rediculous when its a full acronym. Something like BTW IMGY really tweaks my nipple. Not primarily because of the homosexual reference but because its total nonsense. Those are the types that p!ss me off.

Also, I'd just like to say that I think all these NismoF@g and MaxHomo SN's and plates are way overplayed and cliche. Where has our originality gone?

Red92, I think Max-Wel would be sweet. But how old is your son? You don't want him looking like a daddy's boy when you drop him off in the max. LOL Although I know you drive it much.

Thanks, yeah NC's motto is CHOOSE8. It's the Progress RSB, I like how you can see it. That pic was before my Progress Springs, you can't see that much of it now, and it'll be totally hidden once I get my Rear Valance.

In illinois you can't have a letters after numbers so you can't have stuff like "5spd VQ" or "vq30de". If you pick numbers the last character must be a number. Sucks bit time.
