Time to register the Exige, need some thoughts on a personalized plate...

Unlike my Elise, which I never registered and always drove with a dealer plate, I decided that I'm going to register the Exige....

Here's a few options that are available in my state, which would you go with? If not these, What else would you go with?

I think you should just get a regular plate. You have a pretty memorable car, no need having people know it's you or where you live if they recognize the plate.

Personalized or not, as far as I know, I am the ONLY Graphite Exige in my area, so people will know it's me driving regardless. I've only seen one other Exige not far from where I live, and it's in white. Other than that, I've seen one other Exige in Silver, and my Elise, but no others in my area in any other Lotus models.

Or how about MOVEOVER, turn the front plate around and paint it to be read in a mirror (assuming it's embossed).

Personalized plates are too easy for the idot you ran off the road to remember. If you're going to do it, make it a really hard one to memorize like:

Not running people off the road sounds like a better policy to implement.

Not a huge fan of personalized plates, but since you asked for a suggestion, how about "ICUTUOFF"

Yea, but you have a kick@ss plate, not some douche-tastic
zoomy zoom, IMFAST, SLOSUK, VETTE, SPEEDYO, JDMYO, VTECYO, MOPARZ, FRDRLZ, CHEVY-1.....nonsense

You get a pass. :wink:


But 9 times out of 10 most personalized plates are douch-tastic.

Does NY have charity plates?
reason I ask is I like the look of different state plates, rather than a personalized one. I got the American Red Cross one, and changed the flag to a Swiss Flag (I'm 1/2 Swiss)...

got lucky and plate had "143" in it by coincidence.

I don't want to steal Moogelino's urban dictionary definition and as he said (and I agree) there are rare exceptions.

If I have to choose one for Shoof, my vote is PHIL3.
