Default Who Has Personalized Plates?

I was sitting around trying to think of something clever to get on my license plate and came up with KYSMYIS as a joke (which was acctually approved through the DMV site) and although everyone thought it was a funny play-on-words, it would be offensive to alot of people and my car would probably get keyed or something.. what do you guys think? but anyway, just wondering what people have on their plates! I need some ideas!

These are all pretty cute, but the key-job is serious business everywhere. 1QuikLex is cool and custom, but some love to hate. Forget the key-job you may get attention you do not want. This can cost you. It also says a little more about one who gets personlized plates. The are OK and sometimes cool. I think they are added expression about driver. But in this day and age driving a Lex especially, a few people get information about the driver and attempt to use it.

For instance Payam, Pam is a female driver. Alone even with tint, there are some that will attempt to take advantage. Whether that's getting cutoff in traffic or sexual predator depends on what you are saying and who you run into. It that simple. I live in ATL it just does not make sense to me to do this in a larger city. If you live in smaller town, then you may know it is OK.

Merely another hypothetical example. This just an extreme case of someone who may have pride and besides DMV would not approve. But, A plate that says heyimagay, would definately be harzardous on the roads.

Enough said...extreme examples can help understand less extreme situations. It only takes one key-job hater, car accident and road rage haters, poor detail service or whatever to make this a bad choice. It is just too much attention. If I were an insurer I would actually charge more for personalized plates. There are more haters than ever out there. Gas prices or something

Well, with my driving style, it's going to be me doing the cutting off in traffic. And if it happens to me, it happens. Not that big of a deal, I'm usually pretty aware when I'm driving. As for sexual predators..... I'm pretty sure they aren't going to want a piece of me, but if they do come up to the window, there will be a barrel staring back at them....

Cool

On order for FIVE weeks now. I think they are made by prisoners here. You'd think they would have plenty of time to make the plates.
