Help me decide on vanity collector license plates

puma1552 · Jan 25, 2010, 08:00 AM

So my weekend toy is old enough to be sporting collector's plates. It's a 1990 Camaro with the 5.0L. Largely stock, except for intake/exhaust/a few goodies and a little suspension work. The car is a very rare Maui Blue Metallic, and in beautiful condition throughout.

In Minnesota when a car hits 20 years old you can give it collector's plates, which I want to do.

In MN we get seven letters/numbers for vanity plates, so what are some good ideas? Since the car isn't super fast, no "I8AVIPR" or anything like that, but I want something related to the car itself.

Ideas?

...or something with 1990 in it, 'cause when most people see it, they're gonna wonder what year it is.

thats a good point, as 1990 was the year with the lowest production ever thanks to the UAW strike, with a mere 32,XXX units produced.

i believe the color is one of like 1800 ever built. not RARE, but very very very uncommon.

In AZ, it's 25 years, so I have another 5 model years before my Eunos (Miata/MX5) is eligible.

haha....the state troppers will be waiting for you at reststops...lol

according to urban dictionary BADMOFO definition is:

Quote:

a person of such dangerous capability that it produces a natural coolness about them, which when those two qualities combine (coolness and danger) create a reputation that is renowned. They exude these qualities in every aspect of day to day living, therefore leaving their mark on society in legendary form.

Considering the kind of vehicle they are for I suggest:

D8RAPST

then you can cruise the high school parking lots

Cruising the high school parking lot for a date on Friday makes sense when one drives a Camarro with personalized plates especially when the plate matches the hair do.....all he needs is to say he lives in a single wide and claim he's half Cherokee LOL
