My Vanity Plate choice?

[RIDELIKEHELL]

I've been thinking of a plate to get for my car and since I can't fit my handle RLH I'm toying with a few others......We can only have 8 characters...INPUT?

W8ISOVER

RIDLIKHL

[68X426]

Why not set this up as a poll?

I like RIDLIKHL. But my state DMV (California) would kill the HL immediately. They would see that it means HELL and they are PC to the extreme. HL is offensive in their view. You should check with Ontario before you get your hell hopes up.

I got to steal your thread for a story. As an example of life in bizzaro California, my first choice was MAD 68. It was available, I was shocked !!!! And I was way happy! Turns out it was "available" because the DMV banned the use of MAD on a plate. It just looked available on-line, but not when you apply in person.

How you ask? Because, according to official state rules, MAD when viewed upside down spells DAM, as in DAMN. DAMN is offensive on a CA plate.

Really? Yes, was the answer. MAD upside down spells DAM. Well no it does not. Not in the real world, where it spells absolutely nothing. In DMV world it spells DAM. And that means DAMN and that offends.

I pointedly asked if that offends only upside down people - or - offends everyone? And further more, does the viewer have to be upside down looking at the plate - or - does the car have to be upside down to offend?

I was escorted out of the DMV and told to not harass the clerk.

My next choice was DMV SUX. That didn't work. So don't get your hell hopes up.

Story time over, now we can return to the subject matter of your plate choice. 

[nvrbdn]

"3M TA3" as long as they dont look at it backwards.  w8isover is pretty clever.

DMV SUX.... Thats awesome!   I would love to try this in my state just to see if it would actually pass...

Geez you're lucky, we're only allowed 6 here.

I'd go with RIDLIKHL

[oldcarnut]

I got a tag and still have it from the 70's that was HELRAZR.  2months later I was sent a notice to turn it back in for not meeting standards and it was passed by mistake.  Never did and left it on until I let it expire.  At least you get 8 letters.  I think we're still only allowed 7

[Bob T]

I'd shoot for RDLIKH

Hey Dan, the authourities are'nt so pc here, a Plumber mate of mine has CRAPPA on his work van

We can get 6 letters here and message top and bottom so I got this one recently 

[RIDELIKEHELL]

I really want RIDLIKHL but Im not sure if people will get it or not? I know forum guys will be able to spot me though the for all your input 

[BananaDan]

RIDLIKHL   

I like it and I think people would get it seeing it on the road.

That's just stunning.  If hell is not allowed does that mean heaven is not allowed either?  So what does the dmv call a dam in Ca?  A waterstopping structure?  Strange state....

Sorry, I don't have any tips for a vanity plate, it's one of those things that makes people crash into something because they're too busy trying to decipher it.

[Fred]

Bit slow off the mark.................what does DMV stand for?
I'm usually pretty good at deciphering plates but can't get this one.

[68X426]

DMV = Department of Motor Vehicles. 

[Fred]

DMV = Department of Motor Vehicles. 

Oh ok. we call it Road Traffic Authority over here (RTA)

[surmanajaja]

here we can just get 1-3 letters and 1-3 numbers, in that order. and the plate costs about 1400 usd. I wouldnt pay that... I wanted HA-1 because those are my initials and "hai" means shark in Finnish. but that´s taken and I couldnt justify the amount of money for it to myself anyway...

[Indygenerallee]

BMV here

[Fred]

MY wife has has 3 letters..........her initials. She was lucky to get them but she was quick off the mark when 3 letters were first allowed.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

thx gents

[RIDELIKEHELL]

my last name and and on?

[mpdlawdog]

I like it!  it says it all! 

I always wanted "whipnu" so the opponents have something to read while they are looking at my rear end at the next light 

[nvrbdn]

my last name and and on?

thats perfect

[RIDELIKEHELL]

It just came to me while sitting at work Its a term used quite a bit and incorporates my last name using the max of 8 characters

[Fred]

my last name and and on?

thats perfect

I have to agree. 

[CharcoalCharger]

A young guy I work with has one on his car that is pretty clever.  His last name is Porr.  His plate...DRTPORR.

[redmist]

I am getting "MPG LOL" for my car...

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Well WRIGHTON is gone  but RIDLIKHL is available but the deal is this. You order and pay for the plates,order is reviewed,but if deemed unfit they send you a letter stating it was rejected with a cheque with your payment amount. I'm going to have to put my thinking cap on again. The mother in law says I should get MRWRIGHT

[Charger_Dart]

Our silly state (Massachusetts) only allows 6 digits, it has to start with 2 letters & you can't mix letters and numbers - like "My68RT". It makes it tough to come up with something nice to put on your car. I wonder what they are thinking.... 

[mpdlawdog]

Im not sure how your BMV is but we have a computer at ours that you can check if the plate is taken or not.  we can also check them online as well  

If it doesnt cost you to see if you can get it....I'd go for it...the worse they can say is no and give you your money back.

That's bad luck. But anything worthwhile is taken very quickly. I was lucky to get MOPR for my Cuda (mopar with the "A" was long gone). It narrows your choice down a lot and you don't want to settle for just anything so you've got to get those little grey cells working.
My wife came up with the combo for the Charger and I was really surprised that it was still available. We did it on line (and as has already been mentioned) that was a great way of doing it because not only could you see if it was available but you could also see what the plates were going to look like.  

Maybe you could just leave out the "i" .....WRGHTON ........ or do you have to use all 8 digits?

[SRT-440]

My '70 RR is "EXTNCT"...we can have up to 7 letters here.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

So what do you think? It was available but they said that it may get turned down or it may not.

[nvrbdn]

looks cool. good luck getting it. have a good back  up plan.

If they let these go through, then RIDL*IKHL should be good to go.

[Dino]

I'm not a fan of vanity plates but if I had to pick one it would be NOT4SALE.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Here is what I ordered as I test Octanes at work and the Charger is my Octane 

[1ofnone]

Do 94OCTANE and have petro can pay for the plates

[Ghoste]

More likely they'd charge a licensing fee.

I always wanted to get IMARAM being an Aries & owning a Dodge Magnum but it was taken

[moparguy01]

my charger has BROKAGN for its plate. the dmv lady asked why i told her 3 reasons. Its a dodge, so its expensive, hence im broke. its MY dodge, so its broke, and lastly, i have to pay your stupidly expensive plate fees!

she wasnt as amused as me.

over the years I've had alot of plates. in North Dakota they are cheap. I've had 5ltretr, h8trce, gottorq, zzzzzz, and a few others.

[Drache]

You guys are lucky. In BC if I'm not mistaken you pay a $100 fee and get to apply for five choices. If they deny all five or all are taken then you don't get your money back. Also costs $40 a year to keep the plate. Oh and on the application you have to EXPLAIN what each plate actually means.

I had "Drache" on mine for awhile. Gave it up though.

[mauve66]

 

[Fred]

So how much does the actual vanity plate cost in your neck of the woods?

The average price here is around AU$600.00

So you don't actually pay for the plate itself? (just an application fee)
We pay for the plates (we need two, front and back) themselves, there is no application fee. There is however an annual registration fee and it's a whole lot more than $40.00.

I think it's free in Michigan.  I know for the Charger I could get a plain historical plate, a vanity plate or an original 69 plate.  The latter was $10 I think.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

$251.65 taxes in here 

[Cooter]

I personally LOVE the "Call out" plates here like, "1QKPHKR" (One quick f*cker), or "5.0 This", "Z /28 This", "Ud Lose", etc.



Does nothing but create a PITA/Everybody wants to race syndrome IMO. Someone ALWAYS pulls up beside them in the brand they are against and welds them to the pavement.

You're in clover buddy, they are $800 here

I just checked the DMV, it's $30/year for a vanity plate.

nice plate.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Got my sticker switched over & put the plates on the  Charger after work today. Only a few more months till I can drive it as  winter is here   

[Ponch ®]

A year or so ago I ordered "DTHTR4P".

Then about a month later I got a letter from the CA DMV saying that they could not issue that plate and gave me a refund. The reason? Ostensibly because someone already has "DTHTRAP" and the '4' in mine made it too similar and may cause confusion. I tend to believe it and not that it was some sort of censorship - I got the idea from a 68 Charger I saw with "DEF TRAP" plates.

[BY RSCO]

The one going on the Charger when complete (in the cabinet now) is same as my username "BY RSCO" (Bye Rosco...) - In past lives, had a Mustang with a good amount of happy gas on it with "ONDGAS" on the plate, had another one with a 520 ci pretty healty built setup (Street car at that..) that said "TRY ME". All in good fun. It is always neat to see how creative folks are with these!

[440mike]

Like it    My Charger plates are  BURN-EM.   

[Ponch ®]

I wanna get "GOIN WFO" but its taken (in CA, anyway)
