Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Reg Plate for sale in UK

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi Doug,
By now you've seen the answers to your question about selling vanity plates. 
A couple of comments: doesn't it seem bizarre that people will pay approx 
$600,000 for a license plate?   Also, you wrote <<great looking vintage 
E-Type Jaguars with a big tag screwed to top of their bonnet nose>>
Gotta disagree with that - while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this 
beholder thinks it spoils the great lines of a E type.  I like the rear 
plates but the front plates on any car spoil the looks IMHO.

I do like the oval plates used in some European countries -  but only on the 
rear.   I'd like to see front plate requirements dropped - I wonder how many 
times the front plate is actually used to identify a car/driver?  Of course, 
cameras might like them. '-(

Now, maybe I'll go down to the DMV and browse the open letters available - 
and see if they'll take a few thousand USD for a "good one".  I always like 
to find ways I can give my government even *more* of my money so they can 
continue to take care of me.  They've done such a great job so far.  Of 
course, in the US there's lots of individual ideas about what a good vanity 
plate would say.  Some might like "crak ho"  but I wouldn't.   It seems the 
DMV has a lot of control to prevent potentially "offensive"  words from us. 
(PC at work??) Hopefully the ACLU never discovers it!
;-)

Take care -
LarryT
