Got me a vanity plate for our Benz...

This is the vanity plate I got for our W204 What do you all think, I know they are corny and mine is so sooo original but anyway does anyone else have one on their car?

P.S. sorry for the crummy photo, it's night here and our car is filthy from the weather all last week. Since I'm not putting a front plate on here is the extra lol

The other alternative was the German version CKLASSE and that was available too with Ca DMV https://vrir.dmv.ca.gov/ipp/PerLicensePlateServlet if anyone cares. I just thought I would keep with the "dual-meaning" and simple.

I thought so too, and my wife keeps reminding me of that, I would have had to lump it altogether like CKLASSE though which would have been more confusing but still fun I guess.

the fact that is was still available leads me to believe it is a little corny. But that's what vanity plates are all about.

I am sure "Arnold" appreciates the additional tax you paid. That should help balance the budget in CA. I can rest tonight. Thanks.

haha, the people that dont know shat about cars will think you are trying to tell people that you are of level c "class" or just a good old average person...

some people are idiots when they try to figure out vanities...

thats why on my old beater ride 64 stang with a CA vanity, I made sure there was no grey area:

"CRUZN 64"

I used to own saabs, the old turbo 900's. loads of fun and cheap. anyway, my plate then (only recently decommissions as I kept it to see if I would but a new saab, but didn't obviously) was: WHASAAB.

I thought it was funny.

Love the Vanity Plate Ryan, though C Klasse would have been cooler. I want to get a plate that says 654 hp for my CLS55 but don't want to invite idiots who want to race me, id rather just shut them down quietly haha.

If I got a plate that says "C AMG" would that make me a poser? It does have AMG styling kit, right?

You're asking for your car to be keyed aren't you?
