Lamborghinis at Monterey: The Subtle Dignity of the Personal Plate

 _B5Z1713.jpg

"Concorso was full of Lambos. I started noticing some personalized plates. Then more, and then more. Then i took some photos."

Because if you're going to get a Lamborghini, why blend into the crowd with a normal plate?

Shocking how many still have the cheap, advertising dealer crapola frame on the license plate.

I'm appalled at the number of people who keep that stuff on their cars. Why would anyone drive around advertising for a dealer? Or worse put the type of car on their frame.

"Hey, if you didn't notice...I'm in a Mercedes!"

I doubt anyone who buys a Lambo is trying to blend into the crowd. Vanity plates and exotics just go together.

The guys who buys Lamborghinis aren't shy about being noticed, that's for sure. My favorites are CIAO and IPO TOY.

I love the person who bought into the whole "Member of CHP foundation means I won't get a ticket" thing.

I like the Air Force veteran one. I shoulda gone with the Academy.

I agree. My rules for vanity plates are they should be creative and yet most people should get what it says. If only you and your bird understand what it means then it seems like a waste. And if your new Lambo has the plate of LAMBO that is kinda weak. "75 Lambo" gets a pass because of the age.

I love the one with the CHP 11-99 foundation frame, I wonder if that gets him a pass very often. I thought about buying those but I'd need three and back when they sold them, I think, they were something just over a thousand each.

Based on experiences with coworkers with 11-99 plates... yeah, it works. One guy I know calls the cops before going 150mph down 680, so they know where not to look (maybe they even check if it's clear).

the plate on my 2011 5.0 is 5 OHHHHH :) with a little red square sticker between the 5 and O. The lady at the DMV liked it a lot and I notice people pointing all the time when they are sitting behind me in traffic.
