2009 Mini E: Plates

mini_e_plates_1600.jpg 

You've already seen Tom Moloughney's witty plate on Mini E #250. Here are a few from other cars in the Mini E test program.

Do you have personalized plates? Have you seen any good ones on the road? Share them with us.

All I've seen semi-related is a Prius with "HALF GAS."

I had personalized plates on my Prelude: "11 TO 1". Don't have personalized plates on any of the vehicles I've got now though. Was thinking about "RDNDIRTY" for the Jeep though.

I'm an accountant, and I have a FSU tag that says ACTG on it.

Saw this one once: http://www.e90post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=337880&stc=1&d=1262234789

Saw a mustang cobra with plates that read "Z06 THS."

Current plates say HYBRIS next plates will probably say GODOWAR.

Darn. None say: "I have a 100 mile range, if you're lucky, and I still consume fossil fuels"

I'm a big fan of Apple computers, so mine say MAC HED

I have SRT 4TW on my SRT-4... I get a lot of confused looks from some folks, but the people who get it generally like it...

Nice looking wheels and color slickersdrip, but why two exhaust pipes? At least it isn't a fart-can.

Thanks... I'm glad I have a year exclusive color of the SRT-4's ('03 was yellow, '04 was blue, '05 was orange, then white). The wheels are Flik Artic... really cheap from Edge Racing.

Two exhaust pipes because it came from the factory from there. I got the Borla/Mopar engineered cat-back exhaust to replace it (and it's on the car now), but the idea of two exhaust pipes is still kinda dumb for me for an I-4 powered car. The final section of the exhaust is actually in two pieces for the two outlets, but the final two pieces come in such a way so the right exhaust outlet, without the tip attachment aims right at the trunk. Without getting a piece of steel to weld over the other port to prevent my trunk becoming an exhaust fueled oven I'm stuck with the other outlet. I guess I could beat the second outlet shut with a hammer, though. Then I'd need to fold the rear bumper up to prevent the other opening, though.

Obviously I've given it some thinking...

I saw "F EVOS" on an older WRX STi (or, more likely, a regular WRX with STi badges bought off eBay).
I wouldn't be surprised if some EVO owners would give the car some tender loving keying.

Also being a huge English soccer fan, I'd love to put on
"S1R ALEX"
"S1R RYAN"
"BERBATOV"
"K1NG ER1C"
"CHELSKI"
"MAN SHTY"
All are still available at NYS DMV. I'm just too cheap to pay $40/year for it.

I had no idea about the two slickers. Thank you.

Thank you also for having the restraint to not put a fart-can on it. There are two (supposed) SRT-4s I see around town, including one right down the street that has a massive cannon barrel fart-can (and an ugly black hood, I guess he's going for fake carbon fiber). I would love to see it at a stoplight.

e90_m3:

You'd actually put Berbatov's name? That surprises me. He'll be gone before too long anyways.

My neighbor has a giant gas gussling suburban and his license plate is "MYHYBRD"

@dougtheeng:
Yes I am a huge admirer of Berba's skill and his sikly touch. My wife says I have a man crush on him. I could not in all honesty deny that. :)
