This is the one I decided on, but never pulled the trigger. Looks great

As has been said here before it’s about what gives you the giggles or the fond memory of your ride and your experience with it.

This is mine. $500 for five years. No one will look at this and figure it out. This isn’t for others to enjoy it’s uniquely significant for me. Even if people do I give them a disclaimer because this is my brother’s initials and the year he died. My way of always remembering him.

My plate is TOPZCRET.

Damn, I have a great story about my brother-in-law's personalized license plate he had on his "show" car, but it's really R rated.

I am sure that you can translate the story into a PG rating!

My personalized plate, the name says it all!!!

The text being not centered would drive me insane.

Well, I'll try. My brother-in-law builds cars. They have appeared in a number of car magazines over the years. One of his more recent builds was a blown 67 Chevelle. (540ci, GM 12-71 blower). He had a license plate that read "BLOWN7" (6 letters is the limit here). I'll just say this was a poor choice of words for his circle of friends, although some of the reactions to this plate were quite humorous. He no longer has that plate.

That’s Florida for you. I’m the same way. One of my Florida plates drives me crazy not being centered.

I asked about the placement when I ordered the plate and I was restricted to a choice of selecting one side or the other. 👎🏻

There have been a few people who understand my personalized plate, but many more who don't understand and ask about its meaning: Lenticular, a type of mountain wave/standing cloud, which we had to include in our flight weather forecasts for the Air Force. (Prior USAF Weather Forecaster). The funny replies I get are 'Lint Curler', or something to that effect.

I got it right away but I'm a private pilot (and retired AF). Used to see them along the front range when I was in Boulder CO.
