I thought about that. What about a plate like...

1I1II1 OR
III1II OR
11I1I11 etc.

... something kind of confusing so at a quick glance you might not see it right or they might even write it down wrong on the ticket.

Yeah I getcha...

maybe 00H STi (using zeros instead of O's hehe)

TM52 SRT isn't that memorable though, unless the cops are big fans of those facelifted pictures haha

I would have to say that I'd use...

GTMYSTI (got my sti)

you can order plates in ca without a vin? or are you going to put them on your current car? (hope it's not a minivan.

)

Yes, in California you can order plates without a VIN. The local DMV office that has my plates is holding them until summer, when my STi comes in. I could put the plates on my current car, a '92 BMW 318is, but it would make no sense, hence, they're just gathering dust until this summer at the DMV office.

That was a reply to a post about personalized plates being an easy target, easy for a cop to remember when you fly by him at double the speed limit or something. So I suggested something like that so it would not be easy to remember or even read at a quick glance. Nothing I would put on my car though.

how about " STICK "

Ken Reich · 03-20-2003, 02:12 PM

"stile" would be another

On the subject of I11II1I type plates, combinations of Ms and Ns often work well. MNMMNNM or something. It depends on the font to some degree. I think one of the last Obfuscated C contests that allowed macros used this, with the result being the entire program consisting of giant subtly different strings like mnmmnmmnnnmnmmmnnmmnmnmnn. Completely and totally unreadable.

My plates arrived today: "STI". I wanted "WRX MUNDI" but that's too long, and abbreviating it would make it too obscure. I chose a Wildlife plate which means I'm limited to 5 characters. I was a bit surprised it was available. I've never had a personalized plate before -- we'll see how it goes.

In Illinois I don't think the 11II11I thing would work because I found out there has to be spaces between numbers and letters and I think if there are numbers they have to be last.

Anyway, I tried for "STI" but it was already taken, so I am getting
"XX STI XX" which should be arriving any day now.
