    I am thinking about getting a custom License Plate for 95 F355, not sure what I should put on it. I was thinking about keeping it simple "95 F355"

    Any ideas? What are Ferrari Owners thoughts?

    Doesn't your car already day f355 on the back? Sorry, I despise custom plates for the most part.

    I think it's a very personal thing.

    For example, I'm perfectly happy with custom plates that have something to do with the car like Steve's above, and my own below (also on a '98 F1 GTS).
    Or a plate which is historical in some way.

    But I cringe every time I see a custom plate which is about the owner, or about how fast the car is.
    Eg. "Doctor", "Legend", "Fastguy" etc. All I see is "Wanker"

    Worst of all though IMO are plates which mangle the language in some way to say something which is not particularly interesting or clever anyway.
    For example, "intmd8" or whatever...

    Now that I've probably offended a large % of people here, let me say: Do what you want. It's your car.
    What I like, you might hate. And what you like.... etc...

    So, instead of getting something which is already written all over the car, you get something which is already written all over the owner.

    Same thing, different haircut. :)

    Horrific. Don't even know what it is supposed to mean.


    Perfect. Unfortunately, that one is already on a 355 here and is probably worth more than the car.

    I always laugh when I see the F chatter with .....
    "guilty" love that one.
    "No officer I don't know why you pulled me over, but ... Did you run my plate?"

    I have a disabled vet plate on mine, maybe I will get a break from the law ... Ha ha ha
    But thinking I am now a top tier target for ISIS, I think I saw an RPG pointed at me the other day.

    It is the best, I am so tempted to try to get one like it in Oregon .... I just hate admitting guilt before I get the opportunity to open my mouth and put my foot in it.
    Years ago 98' or 99' in my 328, eastern Ore going downhill on some awesome switchbacks to the Indian casino, 5 fire vehicles coming up the hill to respond to a brush fire up on the flats. One access road to the casino, Federal Indian cruiser sideways stopped with light bar on and standing next to his car.
    "Going a bit fast down that hill ?"
    Stupid kicked in instantly ......
    "I was just trying to get out of there way .... As fast as I could"
    Gawd I felt like a total idiot as soon as I said it.

    Steve you have to realize that not everyone possesses the same level of imagination and brilliance which would allow them to simply copy the back of their car onto the number plate.

    Mine originated on a supercharged big block 70 Chevelle I built in 98, ending up on my 1200hp corvette before being transferred to my F355.

    Admittedly it did not belong on a 5.2 car but I won't be using it on my 95 B either. ;)

    For a 5.2 GTS I should have got "SLOW 5.2" or "FLEXY" F1 car could just get "FLAPPY"

    Just kidding guys! I love them all. (the cars that is)

    Haha! Awesome!

    That was bound to happen. I guess I threw the net pretty wide...

    Seeing you have a '95, what about "DELUSIONAL"?
    Or "SLOWERTHANF1"?
    Or "IGOTDUPEDBYFCHAT"?

    :)

    In truth, the "I'm a hero" plates are probably a cultural thing.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I've pretty much narrowed it down to those 3. I'm also considering "WANKER" or "ASSHAT" :)

    For the op, considering one of the above will be taken by me you could try-

    "NO CEL"

    "BAD GUIDES"

    "FAST 2.7"

    "5.2 SUCKS"

    "NOT AUTO"

    "NDS BLTS"

    "NOT FLAPPY"

    "NOT AN MR2"

    "360 OWNZ ME"

    "JST A FIAT"

    ;)

    Excellent!

    There must be many more.

    "ILUVSTIKS"

    "REALDRVR"

    Or my personal favourite

    "SIXSPD"

    :)
