In the game Midnight Club 3 Remix, you can personalize plates. Here are a few I thought of during customizing setup.

Of course before I forget...

If your plate has anything that along the lines of how fast you are, how much you like to accelerate, or a see ya...you have unwittingly just said, "hey police look at me!"

Not knocking the guy who started this thread but, you may not think that you drive reckless ( and you may very well not ), but all you have to do is 1 thing that ticks another driver off and they could be looking for you.

I remember how bad road rage is in Chicago.

Just looking out for a fellow Scion owner.

Yeah, cops suck. I agree with dCvingtC, if you have a plate that deals with speed, etc.. Watch out for cops driving behind you. They'll find some reason and/or make up a reason about something you "did" wrong.

Some of these cocky statements are pretty good but there are 2 reasons why I will not choose them.

1. COPS will pull you over for little things probably associated to the vanity plate.
Plus I have tinted side windows. Don't need a COP to notice them in that
situation.
2. Statements related to being 'fast or speed' does not fit the tC.
Our cars are not that fast and it would be inappropriate to have if you lost to a
much faster car.

So far my favorite one is NLS LMIT.
My second is TC3LLZ.
And 3rd is SCIONRA.
Thanks for your ideas SL crew.

A license plate with a 'fast' theme for our car isnt' always out of line, chitown.

It's not always (or even often in my experience) the speed and limit of the car... it's the limit and skill of the driver.

Give 10 random people a Ferrari and 10 skilled drivers a Honda Civic and put them to race on a track. At least half the Ferrari's would be Did Not Finishes due to crashing and the other half would be lucky to place in the top 5.

On the street, your car might have 200hp versus my baby's 163 or so but if I'm the one who's willing to actually floor it and run through the gears correctly while you're hesitating and leaving it in 4th from a 30mph rolling start... guess who's gonna be/seem faster?

BTW, I do drive fast but I also try to drive safely and don't condone stupidly street racing.

On the track, tuned Honda civics probably handles better than ferraris in dead man turns and probably outruns ferraris lap by lap in terms of handling performance but in straight aways (which is a similiar situation to street racing) guess which car will get outrunned regardless of the driver.

My tC in nowhere near 200HP. So I wouldn't be confident on putting those speed theme statements about my car just yet. If I did it right now, I'd be a fool. Although, as I said before, these vanity ideas are interesting and tempting but I'm not going to make a taunting statement with my 160HP tC.

UCKFAYU... the last U is short for "you", so we have

UCKFAY U

Then, in pig latin, you drop the "ay" and put the preceding consonant at the beginning of the word. Dropping the "ay" we get

UCKF U

And from here I think you get it. Put the F at the beginning of the first word.

I was shocked the DMV people caught that.

Whoa! Now any cop will pull me over if they understood that.

The UCK and F was on the tip of my tongue and kinda figured that but I thought "No Way", the organization of characters are all wrong. Of coarse, I wouldn't want to start a road rage with that statement.
