Default Vanity plates idea

I am thinking of using LKNOTCH for my plates. Is it obvious what it means? I like it for the fact that it's for a girl's car. Appreciate any feedback or other cool plate ideas. Thanks, Andrea

Do you live near Lake Notch?

(I live near Lake Norman and I see "LKN" all over the place, frequently used on vanity plates)

anyway... I don't think we are wild about your idea. We don't get it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Dantana your too funny. I guess this one's out. I was also thinking about 4u2nv. Is that better? I welcome any other ideas. I have a 69 SB.

iluv69 ?

Forum member 69er had a license plate to match. I think DMV gave him a hard time until he explained it was for a model year 1969 vehicle.

1) Did not get the plate until it was explained to me.

2) Where can I find a girlfriend who has a 69 Vette? !

I guess mine is a bit to the point...

I noticed that a plate like "look no touch" might be like the ones I see that have that arrogant pompous feel that instead of smiling it pisses people off , while all vanity plates are pompous to a degree I saw a car with a plate with something like this,

"U NV ME"

The car was keyed and keyed good from many attacks,

"Look no touch" will make some people touch it......

You make some good points 13 Bats. My friend suggested the "look no touch" idea. He said that girls often say that you may look but not touch. I thought it was kind of funny at the time. Now not so much.
I also found out that 4U2NV is taken already, so that's out anyway.

If you look at that cheesy plate frame I have with the mud flap gals that goes back about 25 years, my grandmother got it for me she was well feisty and thought it was "cute"
Now it has that sentimental value to me,
Way back at that same time she gets me a vanity plate that read "OOH BABY"
This was her impression of the radically custom Camaro I had at the time, most people thought it was just me being a tacky player....when I got off that tag a friend jumped right on it and it has been on a rustang ever since...irony is that fellow is a big player,

Point is, people all have different impression of our vanity plates...think up something cool to you...and IMHO try to go for smiles....

try to get one that stands out and it pretty obvious.

You should have a list of possibilites - in NJ, they have you put 3 on the application in the order of your preference.

My plate is "5 MPG" - as she goes through gas like mad.

How about:

NVRLATE - Never Late

FLYNLOW - would fit us well. We built a bush plane and enjoy tree-top flying.




Montana allows 7 letters/numbers.

I like FLYNLOW - if that's not available how about FLYNVET, FLYNC3 or FLYN69?

Default plates

May be accused of hijacking this thread but this question is related to license plates. How many here choose a plate the vintage of their Vette instead of a "vanity" plate? I looked long and hard at swap meets and finally found a pair of unrestored but excellent plates of the era of my '69 coupe. Licensing it here in WA as a collector vehicle allows me to run those plates. They are a totally different color than the later and current plates.

It is my understanding that some states do not allow the use of outdated plates under any circumstances. If vehicle is bone stock in appearance I think era plates are great.

And Andrea probably would not even consider FLAT HD.
