Unfortunately Texas is limited to 6 characters so I can't put the '&' in between the two groups of letters.

Well, at least someone can figure it out in a few seconds.
Some of the personal plates are so difficult to figure out, they should have a decipher written on the plate frame. I don't have personal plates, just not into it.

SHK - AWE might be more fitting on a Tesla.

Best personal plate I have seen was on a Maryland car.

I think it was a jeep. CAR-TAG

Not a fan of front plates, sorry you have to deal with that.

Not a fan of vanity plates for myself but I like seeing them on other peoples vehicles.

That war basically killed humvee sales as we watched them get blown up by the dozens and brought to the forefront such neocons as Dick Cheney who propelled us into the longest war we've ever dealt with

Sorry If this appears as overreaction (yes it is) and you have the right to enjoy such a plate as we believe in your absolute right to enjoy it and my absolute right not to.....

I'll probably pass on the tag based on the overall reaction. I thought from the beginning it would be more appropriate of a modified Z06 that was the baddest thing on the street, not a mere stock Z51.

Thanks for the feedback.
