Lisence plate frams

What do you guys think? I know im gonna get it pretty bad on this one, but hear me out. Ok single guys, how often have you seen a girl in another car and gotten a smile and a wave? Ok well wouldent it be neat to be able to pull in front of her and scroll your phone number across your lisence plate? I dunno it would be a fun toy.

There's a lot of other things I would probably want the display to say, but then I'd get in trouble.

Since you asked what we think............ I'd say it would be rather egotistical and presumptive on your part that she wants you. A smile or wave can mean many things such as nice car, I'm in a good mood, etc. I know a lot of women that would laugh AT you and think you were a jerk, as in he's just another Corvette owner with a big watch and a small johnson.

Works for me You would just have to make sure you've got your gold chains, white leather shoes and the tight fitting "disco" shirts to complete the pkg.

In other words - NO

I'm relatively new here, but my take is EG is more of a carpet guy.

If they made one that didn't look ghetto when not in use I would do it. It's damn near cheesey enough to work! I'd cut in front of women just to be able to use it.

Why don't you just buy one of those fat guy dolls that sticks to your rear window? You know, the one where you push the button and he drops his pants. I hear the wimmins go nuts for them.

Or you could wave for her to pull over...
This could have several uses though other than just picking up girls. Give it a shot and let us know how it works out.

It might be fun to do it if one was driving some beat up piece of crap in which case I'd hope to meet someone with a good sense of humour or of the absurd. However, if the plan is to get someone interested because one is driving a Corvette... Sorry, but no way would I be interested in meeting someone that dumb.

I always thought it'd be a great idea for the rear window of a car...you could send messages like..."BACK OFF!" etc.
