So happy, been aspiring to have this for 10+ years after seeing a car with a similar one in CA.

Ready for it?

GONEIN4

(As in zero to 60 time.)

Should arrive in 4-6 six weeks and oh yes, there will be pics.

Now need to get the upgraded HE and pulley so I can back this up.

Technically though with the mods I have now (see sig) I should be right at a 4 second 0-60 MPH as stock is 4.3 secs correct?

If you're gonna have a vanity plate, you shouldn't have to decipher what it means for people to understand it.

alextaylor29

Are you referring to mine? Thought it woud be pretty self explanitory? Years and years ago I saw a great looking blue vette in CA with a GONEIN5 plate and I vowed one day to have a car and a similar plate. In CA all the good plates are taken but in AZ it's a different story.

Now just need to get an S65 mod it to 750HP/900TQ and I'll get the GONEIN3 Plate as well! (0-60 MPH for a moded S65 is in the high 3's I believe.)

So happy.

gonein4 makes me think it can be stolen in 4 seconds, like that movie gone in 60?

If you know German you'd think it's an American trying to say "not gone in 4" or "not going for"

alextaylor29

Ahhh gotcha I would never think of it like that, but being in Arizona and not German, perhaps the heat is getting to me.

Consider it along the lines of the quarter mile. "Qtr in 10" or something like that, most people who are into cars understand that means you can trap the quarter mile in 10 seconds.

When I saw that car with GONEIN5 many years ago I immediately thought of it as 0-60 MPH, the standard initial measurement of speed as in 5 seconds. Of course being a vette, I made the connection instantly.

But sounds like I'm the odd one here!

I'm in east Gilbert probably only five or ten miles from where you are. We should meet up and check out each others cars! What color is yours?

My thoughts too. GONEIN4 is pretty cool, but I had no idea what it meant until it was explained. Some plates are subtle or targeted to a select group of people, others are blatant, and some are so convoluted that they probably don't even make sense to the car's owner.

I was just running ideas through my head and have narrowed down the possibilities of plates for my soon-to-be Cobra to "LSX LOL 1" or "VET LOL 1" or "HAHALS-1" or "RWHP 510" or something along those lines. Illinois has stupid vanity plate rules that take away a lot of really cool options.

In all honesty I'll probably just get whatever the DMv hads me as I'd rather not have a recognizable plate.

Here's mine. Direct and to the point.

alextaylor29

Love those plates! Mikey, yeah love to meet up. I work in Scottsdale but live in Queen Creek (Pinal County) out by the San Tan/Johnson Ranch area.

As soon as the plate arrives I'll post picks. My 2004 E55 is the light gold color (not sure what the technically call it.) See attached.

haha, well i was planning on ordering custom purple heart plates, but they can't be custom and their sequential . so i ordered the purple heart plates anyway.

also... on my next car, the license plate is going to read ...

IED1ME0
or
BLOWNUP

Busta Riles

IED1ME0

what's this mean?

C43AMG

Improvised Explosive Device - 1 Me - 0

Benz-O-Rama

I think these are great, actually. Although, I like BLOWDUP better.

I commend you on your fortitude. Thank you for making The World a better place for me to raise my two little sons.

mikey33

why would it be improvised explosive device 1 and you 0? It should be the other way around right?

infantry

haha you know whats funny benz o rama? my little sister said the same thing! she told me to get BLOWDUP lol

and another funny thing mikey33, is i was chatting with my physical therapist and she said the same thing, shes like well... you survived the attack, so it should be the other way around....

well i got my purple heart plates, i notice a sense of people actually giving me room when i need to switch lanes. haha.

had a cop pull up next to me at a stop light and salute me. that was nice.

alextaylor29

Infantry - Thank you VERY MUCH for your service to this fine country of ours.

QTRN10 would be a good one Also 700WHP If only I had that I'll just have to stick with mine for now.
