He has a point Jim...

I think the Judiciary might take a dim view though, and impose a driving ban.

It is quite a cool plate. I had that plate on my Lexus which I gave to my Mum.

With this plate everyone thinks you are ex Airforce. You will get asked constantly if you flew F15s. With my mum they ask her if someone in her family is in the Airforce.

Yes, false number plates can be anything from 3-6 penalty points on your licence, a hefty fine, possibly a court appearance and or car being confiscated / seized.

Not really worth it.....

Oh, I figured it out. My pronunciation is just more phonetically correct.

A man's car is his starship, right? So my plate reads ENTRPRSE. I've had that plate for a long time, it has been proudly worn by two Toyota Supras, a Lexus and now my first-ever Jag.

In Cali it's 7 characters so my choice would have been 15 FTYPE but I can't have a vanity plate here since I'm leasing...

My BMW plate is "M5". Quite frankly I think having the model name on the plate is a bit kitsch. However it was my 12th choice on the list of ideas I submitted and the other 11 weren't available.

I wanted to change it this year but they discontinued my plate design which is white lettering on a light blue background. Since I like the poor readability of this color scheme I kept it so now I'm stuck with it.

Is that new? I lived in LA from 1999 to 2011 and had a vanity plate on 3 different leased cars during that time.

Must be because when you go to CA DMV's site and click on vanity plates,the first thing it says is not available for leased vehicles...

EFNFUN is very cool - why's the wife oppose that?


Personally, I went with MEGADTH on my car.

Still fits...

That only applies to vehicles leased in a company name where the registration is in the company name. See the 2nd question on the personalized plate online application here:

https://www.dmv.ca.gov/ipp2/initPers.do

My leased vehicles always were registered in my name not the leasor's name. I have many friends in California with vanity plates on leased cars.

Good, but I am not prepared to throw away a pile of money on plates so have to work within the restricted lower cost options.
