I've always enjoyed having a personalized tag on the Corvettes- wife has one that relates to her business and it's fun to see people trying to figure out what it means - - mine relates to my business- se-cu-ri-ty.

I don't have a preference from what you've listed- but suggest you select something unique that pertains just to you . . .good luck!

I have had people hang out their car window and say, "I love your plate!!" Just make sure that whatever you get, it is something you will take pleasure in and that it is something meaningful to you. That way it will always put a smile on your face!!!

Yours is one of the top 10 plates I have ever seen. I hope you live up to it.

In SC for older cars you can use a vintage year correct plate on your car so that is what I have on most of them. However for my 65 A990 426 Cross Ram it just says HEMI.

Never was a fan of cocky vanity plates. Out of those listed, MY1LOVE is pretty cool. Instead of 6SPDFST, 6SPDSLO. MYBLKAS is kind of funny, I like that.

Been tempted to get a personalized plate, but wondered if the extra attention they bring to a car might also tempt some wackjob to vandalize it in a parking lot.

Exactly my feeling too. Plus having something cocky will for sure not help you get out of a possible ticket. I been tossing around the idea of getting a custom plate for my C5 Z, since the custom plates are orange and look great on bright colored cars here in Kansas. Factory ones are white and light blue. :/ ZOHSLOW just came to mind.

That's why I haven't done it on my daily driver - - I just don't want it to be memorable or prompt someone to decide to teach the smarta$$ a lesson . . .

Of the choices that you mention, MYBLKAS is the one that I like the most. Humor is in short supply.

I love vanity plates. Go for it and add a little spice to the world.

I'm going to get come plates like that myself. In the people's republic of Massachusetts, we are limited to 6 characters with numerals only at the end. My initials are TCC, so I'm thinking of TCC5. Also available: UDLUV1. Suggestions and recommendations are welcome.
