Been running this plate for 4 years on my C4. Stopped twice for speeding and they never commented on it. Gave me a tickets both times though. Plate is going on my C5 next week.

Default liscense plate

I had on my 77---VETSRFUN but I took it off because this old woman asked me was I a veteran. I replaced it with my job of 26 years because my co workers dared me it reads--GO2DETOX

On my 02 with the SLP Loudmouths---IAM2LOUD

Nice plate and doubt you will have any problems with the LEOs.

That is a great plate.

Also, I've got to agree with you that I am very surprised that nobody else already had it. Over the years, I've spent a lot of time on the Virginia DMV web site trying to come up with plates for our cars. So many times when I think I've come up with one that I like and think I might have a shot at getting, it's already gone.

You should be allright. If yours said "FU PIG" you'd probably have a problem!

Phil,

It was on JerkyBoy's car. I don't think it was a ZR1.

Attracting the Police would be better than who this guy's going to attract.

Well, while trying to decide what I wanted, I asked my wife's cousin, who is a PA state cop, and he said "don't get anything that has to do with SPEED". He said it could mean the difference between a warning or a ticket. He pretty much said that once they pull you over you are going to get something, other factors including attitude, could determine what that is.
So I said, "So I guess FST-FKR wouldn't be a good idea", He just smiled and said "you would be correct".

no, "land jet" is a pretty tame plate imho.

plates don't get you tickets, getting caught doing something wrong does.

Mine says GOZ FAST. I had a State LEO comment on it (unofficially) one day. He said "I guess WRITE ME A TICKET has too many letters, huh?"

Just hope the next LEO that stops you has a sense of humor...
