Thought I would share a picture of my plate - a tribute to one of the greatest movies of all time! I'll have to take another picture when I get my leg lamp out of the attic next Christmas... Anyone have some good license plates to share? Image Unavailable, Please Login

How do these things work in the USA ? Can you just make up whatever you like and as long as it's not already taken, you get it ? Little bit different over here - needless to say there is a Government organisation lining its pockets plus you can only have plates that fit to certain conformities depending on the year range of the plate.
Yellow one was mine (sold it this weekend) but the other two are my Dad's. Had a nice combination going, yellow manual spider, red f1 spider and the scuderia. I used to live in the UK, spent the first 23 years of my life there. Basically you pick whatever you want over here within a specific limit of characters (7 in FL). Obviously they do vet you so you won't get anything offensive on there but it's just a flat fee ($50-70 I think) per year to get it and keep it. Some of the tags I've had over the years would've been impossible or would've been in the many hundreds of thousands in the UK. Had REDZILA on my red GT-R, ITSAGTR on my white one, OH OH 7 on my Aston Martin (my personal favorite if I'm honest) and now the one above.
I think each state is different. In Texas if the plate you want is available and passes the test that it is not obscene, you can buy the plate for a certain amount of time - up to 10 years. Not very cheap either - I think it was around $700 for 10 years? Then you have the right to renew at an additional cost.
In the UK our plates conform to a standardised system (more info here) - you cannot just apply for whatever you wish. I was tipped off by a friend that the government had a load of two number/two letter registrations that had never been issued. I wrote to them and got them to put the year of my birth followed by my initials into the next auction. As "V" is an unusual initial I was the only bidder and got it for the reserve (which was still eyewateringly expensive). PS: The bloke in the pic is one of our resident experts, Rustybits....

Always been a HUGE Gary Numan fan. I met him in Denver a few weeks ago, showed him this picture, and talked about his 512BB, he said he went through a few gearboxes, and a number of rear tires.... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here is my NC plate on my new 16M. Not too many folks in line for this plate, I guess, as there are no other 16Ms in North Carolina. Image Unavailable, Please Login
North Carolina only charges $30/yr. for my vanity plate in addition to the registration fee of $28/yr. Not too bad.
Yep NC fees are very reasonable. I don't have a vanity plate on mine but on the XK8 I used to own I had quite a few including EXK8 and after several years I managed to get XK8. On my MINI Cooper S I got 770 KOF which was the number plate of my first car in England -- a 1963 Mini. Alan
Mine on the 360 is XXXOTIC Sorry don't have a pic though On my Cayenne I have 1FST SUV with a fake German plate on the front that reads I8A 4RE and on the back of my old 928 I had: 4RE SLYR
