Vanity license plates might not be the best use of money, but it shows some spirit when you are on the road. I wanted to get SKI, SNOW or SNOWMAN, but I just got the rights to the "SKIER" plate here in Nevada after someone let their registration lapse.

What plates do you have? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Since I just toasted my ACL, my friends said I should get X-SKIER. This is about a quintuple entendre with the most obvious being an ex-skier, an x-games skier, a pro-porn skier and the list goes on.

There is a local here in Vegas that has 1STRAX...

Mine isn't snow related, but it says PHT PHT.

Some say I'm catty. Meow.

There's no such thing as bad weather.........just bad clothing.

Mine aren't snow related either FLI355, FLI - fast and 355 is the engine capacity in cubic inches of the 304ci holden V8 once you bore and stroke it.

was thinking of getting SNO355 plates soon.

How much do you pay for custom plates in the states i assume it'd be different in each state but roughly?

A ski coach friend of mine who flys a T 34 Mentor with the Warbirds has flyT34 as his e mail address.
Come to think of it, that's his license plate too.

I have 96M on my Miata. I always wanted a ski based plate like:

GR8SKI-R
02BSKI-N
SKI BUM
BAMF (Bumps Are More Fun or Be A Mogul Freak)
TREESKI-R

Click. Point. Chute.

Mine say "PGAPSIA" for my two professional organizations. I flipped a coin to see who got top billing-not really-actually the order reflects income potential.

I saw a plate last week that read "GDAYM8" and sure enough there was an Aussie flag medallion on the bumper.

If God hadn't meant us to ski, why did He give us mountains, snow and gravity?

Well, there's a story behind mine. It's deep and meaningful. Just study it carefully, and you should see what I mean. I think, in a sense, it sums up my philosophy...

I change my plates every time I renew(every 2 years) to help out different organizations. I have had NY Ski Areas, and NSP plates.

Have had: Ski SL (my initials and slalom), 2SKIII ( one time I parked in the wrong spot, and they announced, 2 SK the third..), and now....

I have NOW SKI because someone has SNOW SKI. I had taped an "S" to make it look like snow ski...and then a Sheriff followed me home one day in October from Albany to Newburgh after first day at Kilington. Stopped me finally...imagine going the speed limit for a whole hour and a half!!!

Had to take the taped letter off. Boo hoo...
