Nice car. Leave it alone. Vanity plates show insecurities. Nobody cares. Plus, it makes you way too identifiable, not that an SL63 doesn't grab attention.

Let the wonderful state of Florida choose for you.

Insecurities?


Where did you get that kind of idea from? I’m sure there are hundreds here on this forum that may feel a bit insulted by that statement.

The statement would only bother an insecure person.

JUST KIDDING!!! I personally don't like vanity plates, though I have had them myself. I was just being an ***. They are perfectly fine if that's what someone wants to do. For me, I don't want to be noticed, though driving around an SL makes that impossible.

Actually, I'm just sore that JettaRed is too many letters to fit on a plate.

Someone might think you're bi, but that's trendy now so you'll be fine

How about BIT URBO instead?

As one of my colleagues used to say, why limit yourself to only half the population.

To OP
Help us out trying to come up with a vanity plate
Do you want the plate to;
Define you
Define the car
Combination of defining you and your car
Having nothing to do with you or your car?

Most states have 7 characters max, not 8.

just take off the first 3 letters and the e, and I'm sure it would fit

just joshing with you, I'm not a fan of many vanity plates either, although an occasional one will make me chuckle

I remember an article with that, but am not a Star Wars fan, so I"m curious what was the reference that I missed?

Can't afford the vanity plates, huh?

Show some creativity...

I love speciality plates and always have. We enjoyed trying to figure out what another vehicles plate read when on road trips back in the day. I won most of the times lol. I have had specialty plates on multiple cars over the years and I still have them on my SL. 99% of the time they were tied to work in some way. I will likely always have a specialty plate.
