I don't think a personalized plate makes you any more likely to get a ticket than someone calling and saying, "a really fast -color/make/model- just blew by me on -road-" They'd still have to mobilize.

You can't get a ticket from hearsay, they gotta clock you
:happydance:

Terps! I just graduated from UMD in May '09... do you go/have you gone there?

How about ZZZULZ?

(snooze you lose)

lmao good one although until you explained it I had no clue, rofl.

not true! It would be $62.50 every 2 years, not $250. Still a crime.
NY is a joke with these fees, helluva way to pay down debt:

So, if NE1 is still reading this thread...

I think "PLEAZED" might be good. Seems to fit for me, NEWay. Wife OK'd the purchase which pleased me. It has a "Z" in it, and I'm pleased with it. Finally, the last three letters are "ZED".

So, comments?

It was $62.50, which I didn't mind paying. It's going to be $250 this year. I hope I'm wrong. If I am I will keep my plates.

Or...

LILREDZ ?

BIGREDZ! rawr!

I have to wait until fall for 7-dig plates :crying:

CCCLXXZ, MYNISMO

Wish 8 chars would be possible..... Z34NISMO, NISMO193, etc

I'll tell you guys mine after I get it on there. Not that I think anyone else will want it, but you never know and I REALLY like it. Still waiting on the title to not be "Pending" at the DMV. Ugh, title clerks, ugh.

:ughdance: Hehe, guess I was thinking of a Prince song... :inoutroflpuke:

And if your variation of NISMO was taken, you could always just substitute a Z... NIZMO. :tup:

We wait with baited breath... :)

Just put in for zul8trr
