O's and 0s, that sort of thing - at least that's how it is done here. That or turning 11 into an H, 4 into an A, etc using a numberplate bolt.

Always been jealous of the ability to have basically whatever you want.

I'm just not a fan of the cost for custom plates. It's like $200/yr or $450/3yr.

Wow ! Just $ 25 more a year here. But things have been going up. It used to cost $ 34 per year for registration, but now is up to $ 53.
This for older vehicles; in this case my '94 Cherokee and of course Sveedy.
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.

We have Personalised plates -$1000 to buy, yours for life. Yearly registration cost depends on cars ‘newness/safety’ -s70 is $250p/y. A good proportion of registration goes into our Accident Compensation fund - free health care for all! Motorbike registration is through the roof with the levy as they ‘cost’ the most in accidents - rehabilitation , hospital cost ect.
I have “ IT B ME” and “IT BE ME2” for the never to be purchased “Sunday” car. The idea was to have itbme, itbher’ , itbeus etc . Then I discovered how much children cramp your style ...

:lol: Nothing to to with IT but it does confuse some - trying to get “beam me up“ or “bema” out of it . It was once on a BMW.
