Custom/Vanity Plates - Is it dumb or is it cool?

[Kiiro]

It's already a conspicuous car, the last thing I want to do is pair it with a license plate that's easily remembered, haha

For me, my state's standard plates look full retard , so this is why I got special vanity plates with a solid background. If it wasn't for that, I'd just keep the standard plates.

I like vanity plates. The 1-handed backhand is slowly dying out, so I went with it on the NC Tennis Foundation’s plate.

Imo personal pref.

Car already reeks alot of attention/unwanted attention so don't really want to fuel that with a catchy custom plate.

SHIT, YOUR SITTING IN A COP MAGNET ALREADY, JUST HAVE TO BLEND IN WITH THE CAMRYS.

With all the Karens in my area, no thanks. No need to help them with an easy to remember plate.

Unless you are 1500+ HP, I would not be putting anything with quick or fast on my plates. You better be able to back it up because you are going to get dragged through the dirt if someone around your town with a faster car than you burns you up. You'll never live it down and then you'll be the butt of jokes for years.

The best vanity plates I've seen are those that make you think a bit. Ones that are really clever that no one would have thought of.

So Tampa is where intellectual types chose to live then

I"m a child at heart, don't judge.

Or worse, a plate that esoterically references the car, ie: A90, J29 or FK8, etc.

These are my favorites because they can be a bit of, "if you know you know". Plus, they can fly under the radar and look like a regular plate to people who don't get it.

I just appreciate stealth references over in-your-face ones. A plate with "TC SN197" on a Mustang isn't advertising the the world that it's turbocharged, it's only there for people who know and would care. But FASTANG seems like they are trying too hard.

That being said, they are called "vanity" plate for a reason. So you can't fault people for having one that meets any of the definition of vain.

My custom plate is low-key and blends in nicely with the regular plates.

Yeah.. people can do whatever they like. I'm sure there's people that hate my personalized plates (we don't call them vanity plates here) and maybe that's just part of the charm of owning them. ?
