Default Custom license plate... frames?

Well, I've got my custom license plate now, and the old "Corvette" license plate frame that was on the '01 when I bought it is rather faded... so I'm trying to think up some amusing license plate frame ideas... let's hear 'em!

Some of the ones I've come up with:

Drive it like it's not a Prius!
Life's short, so get there quick.
Top down. Stereo up. Seat back. Going forward.
You drive the same route daily in that?

Seeing as how im military, and we dont get paid a whole lot, we get pretty excited when we go on a lengthy tdy that has a high per diem rate. So, ive seen a few frames that say "Paid for by per diem"

I wouldn't put those plates on my vehicle, too tacky for a vette IMO... but here's an idea.

"100 smiles per gallon"
