2 Personalize or Not?

I am curious to know who is making a statement via custom plate? I am thinking of getting something like CU L8R, M3EATR, DNTHATE, BLEWBYU, or something...

My friend has "advised" me that I don't need the extra attention. But it is so hard to resist.

What say ye? Thoughts and/or ideas appreciated.

Customize it to something that is difficult to remember. Might help with speeding tickets or heroes calling you in to the authorities.

Unless it's funny, I would avoid the extra attention.

c63, turbo brumby, evo ix, suzi b-king
maybe something either personal to yourself such as initials or a nickname or something to do with the model/brand of the car is the go.

you definately attract the wrong attention with "attitude" plates.

Here's mine

I had the best day ever yesterday in my car. I had just gotten a new jogging suit (all baby blue). I had on my best set of gold chains. I was pimping by Jawbone Bluetooth earpiece to catch the important calls that I receive.

Five people gave me a thumbs up over my personalized license plate. My real name is Douane Cheron Bog and my plate reads DOUCHEBG.

Anyone else do a name based tag?

Never been a fan of personalized license plates. Think it's kinda gay, but most people that have them drive with gloves on and wear oakley M-frames. Looks like I'm in the minority in this one.

ive been thinking about it - my new plates end in XKK - and it kind of looks like KKK, which really bugs me

AMG-63 is available but it seems repetitive

im not planning on doing anything which mentions other cars...last thing I want is some punk keying my car b/c of it

Cars with license plates that say "M3EATER" or vice-versa are usually driven by *****.

No license plates for me. Cops in LA have better things to do than pull you over for not having plates.
