you're right! Its a little offensive to BMW drivers, but I am huge JDM fan and I want to assert my opinion ( freedom of speech ). Notice it says I8ABMR and not I8ABNZ. You want to dethrone the king. In a way its making it clear that the BMR is the guy to dethrone ( it can be taken as a compliment).lol
I had the plate because I wanted to embarrass guys in 3 series beamers when they got pissed and saw it and then tried to race. I would usually wave from the sun roof as I pulled away. I never lost. Not even against a 3 series with a manual off the line ( mine was automatic ) . The pre 335 3 series Beamers are slow as hell. They handle well,but they are underpowered and over priced compared to a G35 or a IS350 in my opinion. I also think they need to be made a little more reliable I will admit you are the only person who has ever said anything negative. I used to get thumbs up all the time. People would ask me to roll down my window so I could tell them if it meant what they thought. I even had people taking pictures with their cell phones at stop lights when they were behind me . so 100 complimets to 1 person offended is a pretty solid ratio. ( no- offense and with all due respect )

No
I did not say anything negative.

I simply pointed out that someone taking offense to your screen name might use your license plate to track you down. The point is, you don't know who might get upset with a screen name like that - and you have to admit, it is a screen name that might upset some people.

PS - it does not upset me at all - but it implies that you are fine with something that you know is offensive to some.
