    That's a good one. Ontario allows 8 digits which is nice....

    Here's my new plate that arrived today. The "Q" isn't as pronounced as it was on my CA plate.... Oh well, I'm sure people will still understand.. It's a silver Ferrari!

    It is the perfect place for the tail of the horse...I like animals and I like to think about the Ferrari as an animal. The best way to look at it as Chasing Tail though. I have also heard someone say they thought it related to a Harley Davidson Tail Motorcycle??? Also, I have heard the last thing you will see as I pass you will be my tail. My favorite part about the plate is asking people what they think it means because everyone has a different answer based on their outlook on life.
    Chatters...
    Do you like it or think it is lame?

    My supercharged Porsche 996 has : "F OVR M" for the budding Physicists out there.

    I just ordered my 348 plate last night : "M BELLO"

    The 348 is predictable, but only one other person ever got the Porsche plate.

    I'm no physicist, but that's obviously force/mass -- ie acceleration at a given point in time.... something that a supercharged 996 should be able to generate quite a bit of :)
