I also have STARSTRK (starstruck, its hard for some people to get, them keep thinking its star trek, i guess the other s isnt in there??? hahah) on my 06 mustang. It used to be on my 02 f150 with a subtle flame job along the bottom. Also use to have 99VN NV (as in envy)on a 99 volvo VN show truck, but they dont let you have personalized plates on commercial vehicles anymore :( I cant believe the prices you guys are paying, i paid 250 for mine! Sad part is i need one of the starstrk ones replaced, and they want 250 for it, even tho their crappy plates keep pealing (normal plates as well, they just cheaped out on the paint, so it peals after about a year if you dont have covers on them..... idiots)

there is just one more i need to get, but im not telling what it is, dont want to give anyone any ideas, its going on my 40 ford coupe hot rod.

I've been contemplating this and came up with these (all of which are available at the moment):





This one is also available, but with 7 characters, no space is allowed and I just didn't like the way it looked on the plate:



As to the folks that can't figure plates out... years ago, my wife & I had a silver '78 Audi Fox GTI with the plates "R FOX" - I can't count how many times I had people ask me what the R stood for...
Some asked if it used to belong to Redd Foxx...

My tag was not ordered, it came like this.

69 4U BB

It replaced my old one that was a bit egotistical.

A01 GOD


Lucky me, I dont have to spend money personalizing the tag.

Not a fan of the BMW references -- make it sound like the MINI is a BMW wannabe

I have a Purple Haze/Black with the plates GR8PAPE "Grape Ape"

I love watching people in the rear view mirror trying to figure it out. I've also had people tell me I'm way to young to know about that cartoon... HA!!

My MCSCa LB/B is named Malcolm and the plate is:
M1N1MAL

Getting a new Chili Red & Black Clubman S - no idea what it'll end up with for plates...

Though the plate isnt really a vanity plate, as it came from the CA dmv this way, I still think its awesome. It will be on my mini when I get one. Hope you get it's meaning.

Got my NM plate today: LITHIUM
Odd? Yes, but it's the third element in the periodic table, the lightest element that's naturally a metal, and a wonder drug (just enough makes bad things good (mood stabilizing drug), too much kills you!) Used as an additive to make things go a little easier (grease).
Oh, I could go on forever...
