Opinions on vanity plate S65 V12 would be gay. Your opinions? She thinks it is bragging and why would you say what car model on the plate. Thanks.

The badges on the trunk and V12 badges on the side aren't enough?

Personally, I'd go for something along the lines of:
VPR KLR
911 KLR

You get the idea

I think lame, rather than gay. The car already says it all over, doesn't make much sense to repeat it on the plate. Not you of course, but if I saw a guy with a 911 turbo who's plate was "911TRBO" I would call him a douchebag. If I saw a guy with an Aston Martin, and his license plate was "ASTNMRTN", I would think he was an idiot. If I saw a guy with a Aston Martin and his plate was "007", now thats just cool.

... I'm always a fan of the more creative.

What about:

8A V12

or something a little more passive aggresive:

I kinda like it but after reading all these mixed feedbacks I see where they are coming from, maybe something more subtle?? although the torque and power is nothing like it. LOL.

the wife is not always right, but in this case she is, and you should thank her for saving you from yourself

"Gay" is the wrong word ("not that there's anything wrong with it!")

I'm leaning toward "lame". It would be just as awesome as getting a plate that said "Type R". Well, actually, that would be damn funny on a 65

and sorry fellas, but the way I see it, "GOT TRQ" only works if you can have a question mark on the end, and then get a picture of Brook Shields with "torque" written across her upper lip. If not, then it would have to be "HAS TRQ", which is just plain dumb

Haha, yes, like that. Was just trying to get creative. Who doesn't like a vanity plate that you have to think about before you can figure it out. Haha.

I thought 8AV12 was good... open up the hood and it looks like it ate one... nom nom nom. Who knows.
